Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK. Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I refuse to accept a future where we continue to do this.

This is so concisely and honestly put, Uk Labour Rep shakes her head with faux outrage but we all know every word is true, Read Monbiot piece on Mandela on and Brown, Labour is rotten, the so-called centre is hollow - filled with corporate dollars, And all the political players are merely … players

How about get the data analysts to look at whether killing 280 journalists is unusually bad luck. Findings could form the basis of a question to the visiting President?

State-sanctioned violence, where police appear to be immune from what's typically considered reasonable and proportionate, i.e. _normal_ laws and common decency. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... Hope you're pleased with what you've allowed, @albomp.bsky.social and Premier Minns!

A lot of the users I reported on in that story made threats but some just expressed political opinions viewed as extremist. However the official definition of extremism can change, as we have seen

It is absolutely imperative that collectively, we build a bsky appview that is hosted and managed outside of the United States. This is absolutely critical, and we needed to have this months ago. No US staff, no US banking. I can't stress how critical I consider this.

Between Musk's porn generator, Zuckerberg's trauma machine, and the suicide-encouraging bots that Google invested in - Big Tech is finding that child sacrifice is very, very profitable. I feel especially strongly about this one. New from me: buttondown.com/creativegood...

Have seen centrists trying to claim that Zionism just means you believe in a 2 state solution so you shouldn't use Zionist as a pejorative. And cripes. Centrists really are the most useful idiots invented.

Tash has written an open letter to Mr Jarvis, asking him to join the hundreds of other artists expressing solidarity w Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah ...

It is so blatant that right-wing forces are calling for this royal commission because they want a few months of viciously xenophobic anti-immigration headlines - something that directly contributes to worse safety for everyone, surely including Australia's Jewish community. Fully support Cathy

When are Australians going to realise Zionism is fascism? - racist - supremacist - silence critics (through censorship and violence) - infiltrate government & media - mass propaganda - victim complex - ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid Capitulating to Zionism is the death of freedom.

It feels pre-ordained. Rigged. The Australian establishment manoeuvring the nation into a subservient fascist surveillance shithole against the will of the informed populace. The newspapers moving in lockstep with conservatives and Zionists; the ALP capitulating wherever it can.

You're a scab for fascists if you don't boycott the Adelaide Festival btw

More and more AUKUS as a defence policy is essentially “our best way to stop being invaded is to keep bribing the USA”

It is really unclear how Australia's far-right, anti-immigrant and pro-race-hate media organisations and political parties are going to make violence less likely, rather than more likely. It is also remarkable how little scrutiny they're facing for their reactions to Bondi.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that two years of weaponised genocidal mass murder in Gaza has probably made global political violence and terror *MORE* likely, not *LESS* likely And that opposing mass death makes you anti-terrorism, not pro-terrorism www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10...

Solidarity is appalled by the horrific mass shooting targeting the Jewish Hannukah event at Bondi Beach yesterday. While the exact motives for the attack remain unclear, this is clearly an antisemitic attack.

We launched our Crowdfunder an hour ago - and we've already sailed past £10,000. Extraordinary. Hope is here. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hopeishere

So, @albomp.bsky.social, Murray Watt, @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social, Josh Wilson, & @australianlabor.bsky.social is it a problem that: www.abc.net.au/news/science... * You've approved a climate bomb theconversation.com/woodsides-no... & many other terrible fossil-fuel focussed projects?

The UAE-backed horror in El-Fasher exposes the West's empty words - https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uae-backed-horror-el-fasher-exposes-wests-empty-words

It is true that all men never age beyond being 14 year olds. Some of us just manage to pretend hard enough that you can't always tell.

If you insist - I’ll just pass it on to a few friends 🤣😂

Netanyahu could have had these terms at any time after 7 October. In particular, could have extended the first ceasefire, only a month or so in, IIRC

Instead of praising Trump the media should be asking why it took him so long & why he waited for the US & Israel to become completely isolated from the world for him to lift a finger when there was an obvious genocide going on. Trump & Netanyahu will forever be war criminals.

This.

It troubles me that I’m starting to feel the same way about Bluesky that I do about the UK. Like: it sounds great, and some of the people I know are great, but the leadership is making some weird choices and I’m a bit worried it may all be over in a couple of years.

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla. We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices. This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

Australian Labor recognises the State of Palestine but won’t sanction Israel or stop supply of weapons parts Australian Labor recognises the devastating effects of climate change but keeps approving massive fossil fuel projects and won’t tax the industry sufficiently Sensing a pattern here..

CW I have no words for this. I only share it as a record for the day that every complicit party is held to account, if that day ever comes. I also share it to show solidarity with these Drs & the people in Palestine. #SaoirseDonPhalastín

This is all very well, but immediate sanctions and a condemnation of the genocide Israel *is currently committing* would go a lot further

The mainstream media's silence about the murder of 35 Yemeni journalists is part of a much larger, shameful cover-up aimed at protecting Israel. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/just...

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

This all has strong House Committee on Un-American Activities standing committee vibes. Remember how it went after leftists but not the KKK. But then the '60s happened. Because fascism can delay but not stop human progress.

Yeah-nah. My @smh cartoon.

Dear AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social The UN's conclusion that Israel IS committing genocide in Gaza has obligations for Australia: • sanction Israel • cease arms sales to Israel • ensure Australians aren't involved • investigate & prosecute those who may be. Will your Govt do this? #auspol #GazaGenocide

You’d think that would be the end of it.

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

The best thing Albanese can do is not meet Trump.
