When Madeliene King meets with Mark McGowan in the BHP boardroom do you think they will still refer to each other as “comrade”? I feel like they do knowing how pleasurably evil it must feel to them to mock their voters and party members.

It’s helpful when people out themselves to liberals as not being allies.

If you’re avoiding AI you might not know how scarily advanced their models are now. The agents can now do the entire workflow for a complex mod without you opening a single other program. The longer political parties avoid what the effect of AI is going to be on employment the worse off we will be.

Saw some right wing news media, they genuinely believe Iran is on its last legs. Explains why right wingers always have a wrong understanding of what is going on in the world. It is genuine uninformed propaganda fed to them in the most cock-sure way.

Unemployment rate is rising - that's obvious to anyone who looks.

You have to look at the Virginia Supreme Court joke of a decision and conclude they really do just want to destroy their own credibility and help ensure that violence becomes more likely. Like what other reason would they make such a deliberately anti-democratic corrupt blatantly wrong determination

Looking at the UK Greens crushing UK Labour from the left after UK Labour shifts far to the right chasing votes through neoliberalism and racism is one of the few bright spots from recent days. Maybe now the left can rebuild to stage an actual fight against the right wing and billionaires.

"Labor has commissioned consulting giant Deloitte to help design a universal childcare system." Do Labor voters seriously think that a party that asks private consultants to design their "universal childcare system" will be anything but a corporate handout. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Trump and "Two Weeks" www.tiktok.com/@couriernews...

For anyone dumb enough to think “the war will will end in two weeks” which apparently includes every major player in the financial markets: edition.cnn.com/2020/09/22/p...

So what has the result of Labor's shift to the right been: The fascists in One Nation are now the default party of the right, left wing politics in Australia is dead, our foreign policy is controlled by the Trump regime, and when the tide shifts against Labor we will have a fascist gov. Bravo.

One of the few bright spots in the world is about how when Graham Platner wins in Maine all the bluesky libs are going to go insane from anger at how out of touch they are with real people.

A week into the Iran war and it’s clear America can’t or won’t even attempt to defend any ally other than Israel, can’t even defend its own bases - and Australia’s “defence thinkers” want to tell us that remaining in AUKUS is for Australia’s security.

You truly have to laugh at that worm Keir Starmer - "if you don't like it you can leave".

Amazing job by Zack and Hannah in the UK and the voters, I could only wish Australians were half as awake at realising that neither the right nor the neoliberal servants of the capital owners that control the Labor/Labour parties will ever improve their lives or be a force for good in this world.

Who will the bluesky lib Hasan haters side with now that Fetterman is attacking him? 🤔

Wish I could say anything hopeful about the protests might affect people's decision to vote in this right-wing ALP government again, but having seen how the American liberals acted in the same circumstances in the mid 2010s it's pretty much guaranteed there be Australian fascism before they wake up.

More scenes from Sydney courtesy of Dr Mohammed Mustafa of NSW Police assaulting praying muslims. www.instagram.com/reel/DUiB2ge...

Sydney police causing a stampede and people to get hurt cause they have been given unrestricted power to ensure the Israeli President has a good visit.

View from the ground as Sydney people enjoy the social cohesion of Herzog's visit.

Phalanx of police showing ordinary people who the Australian and NSW Labor governments actually care about.

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

Seeing the epstein videos is skin crawling. This makes me pro death penalty.

George will never blame elites, he will always blame the voters for failing the elites, even when the elites have all the power and people who he aligns with have dominated the democrat party for decades. The blaming of the powerless to defend the powerful is a necessary condition of his identity.

You can tell the difference between the liberals that have seen how when their elites who they believed always had good intentions did not demonstrate it after Trump got in, and the guy in the photo, because the guy in the photo has not yet actually suffered directly from democrats bad intentions.

You see a lot of American liberals say that the voters are always to blame. This flows from a fundamental (fake) belief their elites always have good intentions, and voters can only fail their elites, not the other way around, because then they would have to accept elites don’t have good intentions.

When Elon Musk says he wants to preserve the "light of consciousness" at Davos he means he wants AI and digital consciousness, not living human beings. Extinctionist psycho.

It’s hard to tell who is worse. ALP members who watch and associate with the sex pest streamer Destiny. Or ALP members who watch and think that Hasan would be an ALP supporter if he were Australian.

The friendlyjordies Labor shills are out in the r Australia subreddit still trying to run defence for Labor’s environmental destruction law but the reddit pop is not having a bar of it. Mass downvotes, pointing out they had agreed a deal last term. So much different to the HAFF bs.

Nice of the ALP to let kids know it cares more about Woodside's profits than their futures.

We are cooked.

In America a democratic socialist won the primary for the mayor of the biggest city in the country. In Australia the ALP are in full support of Trump’s illegal and aggressive war against Iran. Slow clap for the “Australian left”.

Our new paper updating key metrics in the IPCC is now out, and the news is grim: ⬆️ Human induced warming now at 1.36C ⬆️ Rate of warming now 0.27C / decade ⬆️ Sharp increase in Earth's energy imbalance ⬇️ Remaining 1.5C carbon budget only 130 GtCO2 essd.copernicus.org/...

Australia and Canada are in such a similar position it was hard to tell which country the tweet referred to at first.

Starve people and then murder them when they come to get food. Psychotic. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Great job - take a bow LEAN and the ALP “climate champions”. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It’s actually impossible for ALP voters when confronted with their party’s constant pro-climate disaster decisions to not bring up an event from 16 years ago. www.reddit.com/r/australia/...

This single approval is expected to produce 6 billion tonnes over its lifetime. Completely blows Australia’s carbon budget out of the water. Do we expect them to leave the Paris Agreement next? What’s the goal, to ensure the temp pass 3C?

Absolutely everyone who wasn’t a rusted on ALP supporter knew this was coming, and tbh a lot of them probably knew it was coming too.

Here’s what going to happen now with the Coalition dead. The ALP will look to first negotiate with the Libs, then the Nats, then if neither agree they will put up the legislation as is and tell the Greens to vote for it without amendment m. If the Greens delay they get called “blockers”. That’s all.

Something that occurred to me is the same man responsible for getting Ed Husic kicked out is the same person responsible for this: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The number of Australian viewers of channels like Kyle Kulinski who watch them dunk on centrist and neoliberal democrats over and over and then don't comprehend how that maps to Australia is wild. The Greens are what would happen if the Bernie wing split from the Democratic party.

Arguing with ALP members on reddit and their performative attitude of “yay we defeated Dutton and his racist agenda!” only to turn around and say the Greens should ditch their position and public announcements on Gaza has only given me more anxiety and frustration. ALP Liberal Zionism is entrenched.

One of the common things I see is people who say Greens are “not the party of Bob Brown” anymore. Bob spoke on an a podcast prior to the election saying it very much still is the party of Bob Brown. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Instantly blocked by Van Badham. Heck yeah. 👍

The Greens also had a policy at the election to extend free school lunch across the country. greens.org.au/news/media-r...

Great article published in Jacobin about what the re-election of the neoliberal Australian Labor Party means for the next 3 years. jacobin.com/2025/05/alba...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social good luck to you from an Australian feeling defeated about how the neoliberal Australian Labor Party is going to spend the next 3 years discrediting the “left” in Australia. Greens parties world wide are needed to offer a viable alternative to destructive neoliberalism.

@davemilbo.bsky.social what do we need to do to raise awareness that the ALP are liberals? Albo called Australian values "aspiration and opportunity" in his victory speech. The same words that John Howard used to use. The Labor party is a party of liberalism not leftism. How do we make this clear?
