This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

MSF, Islamic Relief, Save the Children and CARE International are among the aid groups issuing the joint call.

Australia needs to back Denmark on this. And we need to cancel AUKUS. #CancelAUKUS #AusPol

ok i had to

The unprecedented strike on Khan Younis is profoundly distressing – tens of thousands forced to flee under evacuation orders, while humanitarian zones are bombarded. Australia must sanction the Netanyahu government.

Good morning Bluesky !

If you sincerely believe Liberal or Labor represent you and what you want for your country then of course you should vote for them. If not, why not look a little closer at the independent in your seat, or the published policies of the Greens? It takes minutes. We can change the country. #AusPol

If the Greens get even half the swing towards them in Macnamara that they just got in WA they can win the seat. Macnamara people, let’s get represented, not used, vote 1 Greens. @sonyasemmens.bsky.social

I was right

Federal funding cuts have made a huge, negative impact on the work of the International Rescue Committee in aiding refugees. This is literally a matter of life and death for so many people. Donate now to help @rescueuk.bsky.social help those in need.

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

Lovely to meet with the ASRC today. Refugees are welcome here.

I’ve resisted saying Dutton is like Trump. I thought it was lazy and an easy insult, not based on evidence. Now Dutton has labelled himself. Trump Lite. Pissweak Trump. Trump Muppet. Shit Trump. What a legacy he’ll leave when his party dumps him after the next election. Failed Trump. #AusPol

Trump’s plan for Gaza heralds an age of naked fascism https://johnmenadue.com/trumps-plan-for-gaza-heralds-an-age-of-naked-fascism/ #Auspol

Don’t be afraid of Dutton. Instead, let’s beat him by getting independents elected in Liberal seats. Last election proved it can be done, so let’s do it some more. Talk up the independents you like, support them if you can, let’s get a positive vibe going for them and help them win. #AusPol

The framing of this story is odd. The photo of Albanese was chosen, not accidental. The headline says Dutton is stealing media attention, but he’s really being given it by his maaates in that business. #AusPol

@australianlabor.bsky.social #CancelAUKUS Now is the time. We can’t tie our future to the US when it’s clearly not a reliable nation now.

I reckon a major difference between the US and Australia is conservative American women voted Trump, but here it seems many will vote for independent candidates. Angry men in Australia will vote like American angry men, but women may decide the future of our democracy. #AusPol

I’ve discovered the limits of noise cancelling tech in my AirPods. It deals with the traffic at the corner of Punt and Swan, but the voice of an Indigenous mother giving a wayward child a final warning cuts through with ease. A rock and roll voice, love and power, our nation should have listened.

“What to Know About the Gaza Ceasefire Deal” Zeteo’s Prem Thakker takes on the big questions: Will it lead to a permanent end to the bombing? Did Trump really make it happen? Why couldn’t Biden get it done eight months ago? Here's what we know. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Isn’t it true? 👇🏽

Gina Clive Rupert and now Elon How many Right Wing Billionaires do we need interfering in our Democracy? #Auspol

Isntreal will violate the ceasefire deal

The fire is ceased, now end the occupation!

E.S. is a 27-year-old queer, HIV-positive Palestinian who agreed to speak with The Intercept using a pseudonym to avoid community stigma and targeting by the Israeli authorities. E.S. needs tenofovir, a common HIV medication, and lopinavir/ritonavir, a much rarer one. interc.pt/4ahBiUo

This is the story of E.S., who is living with HIV in a Gaza under siege.

Biden has sponsored fifteen months of depravity and barbarity in Gaza. The job is done, people displaced, infrastructure destroyed. Now it will be a property developer free for all under Trump. A ceasefire now can’t save Biden’s legacy.
