Hell, you say? Try having Barnaby Joyce as your local member. The ignorant and unthinking are so thick on the ground around here, he got over 60% of the 1st pref votes and 66% after prefs.

[COMMENTARY] Recently, there have been many successful legal actions in the Global North & Global South on plastics. More such lawsuits are expected, as the negative consequences of plastic pollution on the environment and human health continue to emerge, say a new op-ed. ** Views are author's.

A 1945 U.S. Army manual warned of American fascism—what if the future’s here? This analysis plugs that old textbook into today’s streets and shows the chilling parallels. https://americanmanifesto.news/this-is-american-fascism

How in the fuck do we live on a planet where it’s now acceptable for powerful men to be rapists, criminals, liars, bigots, corrupt arseholes and/or genocidal cunts but it’s NOT acceptable for us to try to make them stop? #NewsCorpse

How the fuck do we live in a world where this man presumes to speak for all of us about a violent fascist arsehole but has never publicly done the same for a single slaughtered and innocent Palestinian child? #NewsCorpse #CharlieKirk

How the fuck do we live in a world where the same women, black people and LGBTIQA+ people threatened with extreme violence by Charlie Kirk if they didn’t conform to his foul fascist views are now AGAIN being threatened with extreme violence simply for not adequately mourning his death? #NewsCorpse

This is my great-uncle Wes and his brother Stan, proud members of Antifa. Wes was gut-shot at Ypres, knew he would die so gave his wallet, watch and papers to a mate to send back to his mum. That’s what Antifa stands for. Everyone who’s not Antifa can get fucked. #ProudAntifa

We're quite a ways off this day, but we will get there if we don't halt current vaccination trends. That will require communication (authentic, educational, multi-platform, multi-lingual, pitched appropriately), leadership, and also that we refrain from getting angry, belittling, or remonstrating.

“Being cruel and competent is beyond them. Being benign and stupid is beyond them. Their only talent is being cruel and stupid.” The fascists are detaining people in camps without due process… and then they’re losing them. More than 1,000 detainees have disappeared.

The fossil fuel billionaires backing Trump want free access to the gas fields off Gaza and don't care if more than a million Palestinians are bombed, sniped, starved to get it

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

It seems ridiculous to me to call Kirk a "moderate", because in comparison to a "normal" person he's by no means moderate in his views, but in comparison to these burn-the-world-down Groypers that gakked him for being too soft, he was exactly that. There's always someone more extreme.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

It is stark how different the reactions have been between the minority communities that Kirk targeted and the political/media figures who saw him as a colleague. An endless parade of people whose lives would not have changed if he got everything he wanted scolding the people who would be dead.

Corporate owned Bill Foster, who happily funds Netanyahu as he commits genocide, wants you to know he opposes political violence, except of course when he happily funds genocide to kill 100K+ Palestinians. Such an indefensible hypocrite.

Political violence has absolutely no place in America. We must stand together to reject it and work toward a better, more united future.

Even Brazil was able to get its former treasonous president indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced. Before it tried running for president again. When the Nazis are handled. We clearly need to investigate several in the former admin. Failure is an understatement #SheShed

It is #47's violent rhetoric that is revving up the hatred in America. I am convinced he is yearning for civil war among us. He's a sick individual full of vitriol and anger. As he has said repeatedly- He is out for revenge and retribution. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks

Trump issues a statement after Kirk’s death blaming the “rhetoric of the radical left.”

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers again ask the TN judge overseeing his criminal case to order the govt to stop making prejudicial public statements that "severely threaten—and perhaps have already irrevocably impaired—the ability to try this case at all—in any venue."

I wrote to Penny Wong, demanding an independent investigation into the double tap murder of the Gaza journalists and for the Israeli Ambassador to be expelled and sanctions placed on Israel. What'd we get? The expulsion of the Iranian Ambassador for anti-semitism by 3rd parties 🤬 #ZionistSupporters
