Remember how Republicans accused Obama’s healthcare plan of having “death panels”. Turns out it was their private “healthcare” 😬 corporations that were intentionally killing people’s grandparents.

Just listen to this. Then consider these polls: 76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025) 82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025) 47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

the unions could also join this campaign to stop prison guards from shackling women during childbirth. If prison guards wanted to refuse, they could make some noise. Same with strip searching. And solitary confinement of children. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

An immediate reaction is to say the Albanese government has learned nothing from #robodebt. But perhaps they have learned only too well how to punch down on welfare recipients with onerous, cruel and illegal conditions. #poverty #inequality #RaiseTheRate #auspol

Antipoverty Centre@antipovertycentre.org

Why does the government insist on trying to recover blood from a stone? If they want to aggressively recover so-called debts from people who've relied on Centrelink payments, they should at least wait until they can actually afford to live. @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org on the latest debt BS

The utterly sociopathic entitlement of these tech freaks. Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco has given the UK government a 12 month deadline to quash public outrage over data centres, or they will... flounce off with their debt? Go on, then. Off you fuck. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank. This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history. Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

Very Trump like by ON to have no respect for other people’s intellectual property. I bet Gina Rinehart would sue the crap out of anyone using any of her companies’ trademarks without hesitation though

If the platforms were legally responsible they might be more responsible. Reclassification as publishers will do it. Not everything but certainly something

The French government’s brutal response to legitimate anger is only raising the temperature in a country simmering with rage, writes a French analyst. "Protests were a predictable consequence of a population ignored by its political elite." www.deepcutnews.com/p/frances-pr...

@albomp.bsky.social learned how to deceive the electorate from Scott Morrison, then bettered the lesson. What is the point of Labor? #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social

Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social

The ombudsman agreed that the government failed to learn the lessons of #robodebt. But it's the opposite. For #agedcare, #NDIS, #jobseeker payments & employment services, the Albanese govt has learned precisely how to apply cruel, arbitrary & dehumanizing policies to the most vulnerable. #auspol

“They have dragged people from their houses, and prevented the media from getting into the district to cover up what is happening. “Netanyahu and his gang are using Palestinian land to displace Palestinian people, closing the city, closing the mosque, to achieve their political goals.”

The real AI apocalypse is not about robots messing with the power grid it is AI destroying the minds of kids, who, with educators pushing these tools, are at real risk of loosing the ability to write independently.

"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

The Australian political & media class may read this and smugly think: 'We're not as bad the US'. But all the signs are that, without real change, we are heading in a similar direction. And as grievances build, we will need far more than "civility" to maintain a fraying social contract. #auspol
