We know this even with limited access to Gaza
The International Association of Genocide Scholars have passed a resolution describing what Israel is doing in Gaza as genocide Professor Timothy Williams from the organisation explains the reasoning behind the decision.
“The great dividers want you to believe that the problems in our society are caused by minorities. They’re not. They’re caused by a rigged economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich” - Jeremy Corbyn www.tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/labo...
Ukraine is pursuing a multibillion-dollar arms buildup that would be funded by Europe, seeing it as the best chance of ensuring the country’s long-term survival as U.S. assistance dries up.
Yes Vance and Thiel and Rubio and everyone else is awful and need to be destroyed, but don’t let that diminish your joy when the bigoted, self-aggrandising, white-supremacist , corrupt child-rapist dies.
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
The vision I hold on to.
🧵 This Labor Day, let's remember that it's about the victories of the working class over the capital class that would send National Guard to shoot striking workers who dared to ask for safer conditions, decent work hours, and support in sickness and old age. Capital would rather you forgot. 👇🏻1/12

The U.S. has taken a dangerous step backward in its pursuit of lifesaving cures and pandemic preparedness. The Department of Health and Human Services shut down 22 federally funded mRNA vaccine programs, representing $500 million in strategic biomedical research. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

New Australia Institute research reveals that the failures in Australia’s freedom of information (FOI) scheme lie with the government, not with applicants. The government’s proposal to limit FOI requests by charging fees instead of fixing the broken system misdiagnoses the problem. Read ⤵️ #auspol
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream" Well said
Trump behaviour trashing respect for the US
Trump announced he will award Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom after Giuliani was hospitalized from a car crash. Despite criminal charges, disbarment, and financial woes, Trump praised him as “the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City.” www.axios.com/2025/09/01/t...

Julian Leeser and co should apologise to Australians for tarring them with accusations that turn out to be unfounded, that were always unfounded. Rather than blaming the Albanese govt, what has the Netanyahu govt done to exacerbate antisemitism? #insiders

Sore point. My @smh @theage cartoon.
The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president says. There was no immediate response from the Israeli foreign ministry.

This is a positive big development that should have dominated the UK news. What on earth has happened to Labour Comms?
Tasmanians lost almost $18.5 million on pokies in July alone - almost $600,000 a day. Annual losses for 2024-25 totalled $193,908,165 - decade-high losses. Pokies harm in Tas is a direct result of Lib/Lab kowtowing to pokies barons. Read my media release #politas megwebb.com.au/media-releas...
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Wow.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
Nazis/neo Nazis peddling their bigotry are not acceptable in our society. Absolutely need strong penalties for promoting their views. Dangerous
"I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged." #Amerikkka #MAGAFascism

A corrupt and incompetent cabinet.
Sam Maiden, thanks for the complex background to Bob Katter, but he’s an adult who bears responsibility for his behaviour, and if he is so troubled by this aspect of his identity, he should get proper help and not make others carry the cost. #insiders

I hope you find my new book helpful for understanding the time we’re in, how we combat the bullies, and why I believe so passionately that we will succeed. Here's a bit more on why I wrote it.

I remember Whoopi Goldberg being interviewed about her childhood She said when she first saw Star Trek she said "Mummy, mummy, there's a black woman on the TV, and she is not a maid" Star Trek did so much for social inclusion, and Whoopi Goldberg would go on to appear in Star Trek Next Generation

Charles Evans spent just two years and eight months in jail after killing his spouse Alicia Little. His charges were down-graded from murder to dangerous driving causing death, after he ran her down with his 4WD, pinning her between the car & a water tank.

Feel safer yet? ICE made a “brave”arrest of two firefighters in Washington state who were part of a crew battling a massive fire. Are they going to march into a hospital room and arrest the anesthesiologist? Or maybe the nurse who is giving CPR? New meaning of stupid!

I certainly hope they are working together
The blue states embrace diversity & invest in educational opportunities. They produce the bulk of American GDP-remitting federal taxes to support R states. The fed govt has nixed federal programs. It makes sense to WH remittances to take care of themselves -replicating fed’l programs lost w DOGE. 🤷♀️
Oh and let's not forget those welfare queen states sent national guard to DC without being asked. Again my Gov sent them our caFEMA when he drowned those babies. When Trump tries take power by force in 2028 they will be on his side so fuck that -no more money to them we have to do a petition drive
I don't hate this. I'm tired of giving money to "taker states" who vote for senators/representatives who want to strip women of our hard fought rights, who want to decide who we can love, and who are actively tearing apart the fabric of our civil society. Let them cover their own bills for awhile.
Good on you Blue States! We used to be blue! I might move! 💥

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

It's clear to me that RFK Jr will reduce vaccine access soon. I don't know how many children and adults will suffer or die from his decision but my experience in looking at population disease and vaccine stats tells me the numbers will be larger than most realize.
