Snowy on the Trams

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔥🔥And the sickest Trump burn of the year goes to 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell:

An El Niño is brewing - And with it the next, pivotal, chapter of the climate fight. billmckibben.substack.com/p/an-el-nino...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Santoss made an ad for the 2026 Tour Down Under and it's surprsingly honest and informative! 🚴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Few words. My @smh @theage cartoon

The raison d’être of art and literature is to disrupt the status quo: and one doesn’t have to be a student of history to know that art in the service of “social cohesion” is propaganda.

"An elder is someone who is older than olive trees" is about asking why does the Israeli state harm olive trees, and reflecting on how I came to loathe state borders as someone who grew up in Lebanon to a Palestinian grandfather -- plus my love of trains. www.hauntologies.net/p/an-elder-i...

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Same goes for all the "prominent Australians" putting their names on petitions for a Royal Commission in the name of "Australian values". If your values didn't compel you speak up about Gaza, then your voice isn't worth listening to.

Trump has burned our standing to ash. After this, we cannot condemn Putin in Ukraine or block China from Taiwan. Power without law is rot. The light we claimed for democracy is shattered. This was the straw that broke us. We have entered the darkest reflection of ourselves. #TrumpRegime

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

All you dorks in the press pack that are allowed near the man, ask the Prime Minister if reporting truthfully on the Gaza genocide will be illegal under Jillian Segal's recommendations.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12... I’d add that actions lead to actions, such as Netanyahu and Israel committing genocide and apartheid against the Palestinians, lead to peaceful protests globally

Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting. I immediately felt sick. I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised. Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame. Hateful extremists ARE to blame. We need unity. Not more hate.

#netzero the LNP are now even more un-electable

Please make this nordacious artwork go viral. Segal has to go. First Nations should have a voice to parliament. 👇👇👇

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

How long before a Journalist is murdered?

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

Israel has massacred another 84 people in Gaza today and attacked hospitals. All this on top of mass starvation. Yet still, Australia says and does nothing.

Media—-stop calling the plane a “gift.” It’s a bribe. Full stop.

Anthony Albanese pays his respect to the traditional owners of the land in which he stands, today and every day. #auspol

The Fascists got kerb stomped tonight. Australia absolutely rejects Trumpism. Amazing 🤩 #auspol #ausvotes

Hopefully the libs do some soul searching and realise they need to go further to the right, more racism, more fear mongering, more trumpism, and Angus Taylor as leader. 🤣 #binnight

Canada, we’re with you! TRUMPISM IS REPUDIATED IN AUSTRALIA! #auspol

Oh lordy, Jacinta Price. What a fiasco. Just a melange of slogans. Literally saying Aboriginal people should be heard after helping to defeat The Voice.
