Ah, if you take a minute to look at my posts, I’ve been posting about Gaza the entire horrific Genocide. Why on earth would you think it’s ok for children to be sanitised to a video of a brutal murder (of someone I can’t stand)? All children, including Gazan, deserve a childhood without trauma.
Anyone else worried about all the teenagers and kids on social media who have watched ‘the‘ video of Charlie Kirk from yesterday? I’m a 47 year old woman and I made sure I did not watch it. This is NOT normal. This is trauma just a scroll away.
I tell you what, if @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social is keen to avoid re-election, he's doing a stellar job. Fool me once and all that...
No notes. Well if there’s one it’s only that I’m upset that as an Australian I can’t vote for Mamdani! Look out world, the time of gross wealth and income inequality is coming to an end. #TaxTheUltraRich #UBI #auspol
Six staffers? Isn’t that more than our Independent MP’s get?
What is abundantly clear is that the game is rigged by elites who will do anything & everything to protect the status quo & their increasing concentration of power. We need… Big money out of politics Sweeping tax reform Universal Basic Income We need a revolution. #TaxTheRich #UBI #auspol
Nyadol Nyuon. Incredible woman.
Palestinians warned of a genocide in 2023. Why weren’t we believed? | Ahmed Ibsais
This is the calmest I’ve felt all week.
"Feeling trapped and facing eviction, the mother-of-one turned to a charity and asked for £600. The money came through almost instantly... Since receiving her grant, Laura Burns' life has been transformed – she now has a new home, a job and is about to get married." UBI will do so much for so many.
With news of further bombings of hospitals in Gaza overnight, Jewish Council executive officer @sarahschwartz.bsky.social explains that this is deliberate, this is a campaign of targeted killings of journalists and we need to take action and end the two-way arms trade with Israel now.
“The United States experience the worst health outcomes overall of any high-income nation…the only one without universal health care.” Yet Bernie is seen as a radical? You don’t have M4All bc both sides protect Big $ interests over the American people. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...
Easily Australia’s worst and most destructive PM in history.
It’s all just clearly been a terrible misunderstanding. Thank goodness it’s all been fixed, I mean, sorted out.
My hit prediction is this administration will implode before the midterms. Watch all of them scamper.
Unless they wish to recreate Hitler hosting the 1936 Olympics, probs best.
#UBI is the ONLY social stability program that recognizes your INHERANT value as a human being. UBI is the foundation that says you- as a person living in a wealthy, technologically advanced country that produces more than enough for all- have the basic right to life free from poverty.
As a health professional who worked in Govt disability services over 20 years ago, I watched as expertise, experience & necessary clinical support got diluted when they switched to the private sector. It was heartbreaking. I agree with this plan, but ‘rebuilding’ Rome is going to take time!
"People kind of think of centrism as evidence-based policy. 'We'll be sensible and we'll follow the evidence.’ "I hate to break it to you, evidence is often quite radical." Catch Richard Denniss on his tour for his new Vantage Point essay Dead Centre! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
The standard you walk past…
If I were Anthony Albanese, I’d wear the attack from Netanyahu as a badge of honour.
Decades of centrist timidity have created a chasm of wealth and income inequality. Building an economy that works for ALL Australians will require big, sweeping changes. Let’s see what @australianlabor.bsky.social & @jimchalmers.bsky.social plan to do with their big, sweeping mandate. #auspol

The largest recipients of 'handouts' are those of incredible (often generational) privilege & corporations, who have done a stellar job propagating the lie that they've somehow earned it while the working class & impoverished just haven't worked hard enough. We need a revolution. We need #UBI
Recognition of Palestine MUST be combined with actions to stop the genocide. With the deliberate assassination overnight of Al-Jazeera journalists and plans to permanently occupy Gaza, the Australian government must take meaningful action and suspend military contracts with Israel!
With all that's going on in the world, I've been reluctant to share more of my 'work' life here, for fear it appears trivial in comparison. At the same time, it's never felt more important to look for and find some light. With that, here's some 'behind the scenes' of our ELEVU start up journey.
So it’s 100% true then.
This is gaslighting. What he means is that his party thrive off creating division and fostering hate. Watching hundreds of thousands of Aussies of all backgrounds marching together peacefully for an end to a barbaric genocide doesn't help...the LNP. Keep going Andrew. Your irrelevance is showing.
So very brave of you to share your story. Weirdly I read a story just today of a woman who’d been in/out of psych units 4 yrs w psychotic eps & had ECT each time - her son got in touch with an obgyn who wkd w her psychiatrist to prescribe her HRT & her symptoms improved dramatically. Take care 🙏
The Jewish Council was proud to join the hundreds of thousands of Australians marching on Sunday to demand action from our political leadership. We demand an end to the genocide, today!
“We are all Palestinians” shout marchers on Sydney Harbour Bridge. Don’t know if I’ve ever felt prouder to be a Sydneysider. #FreePalestine #MarchForHumanity 🇵🇸🇦🇺 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
If a middle path includes taxing the ultra wealthy & introducing Universal Basic Income, then I totally agree. bsky.app/profile/melh...
I remember hearing Bernie Sanders talk publicly about the horrible apartheid and inhumane conditions in Gaza and calling for a stop on the billions of US dollars being given to Israel WAY before October 7th. Democrats are consistent if nothing else in being their own worst enemies.
Of course Pelosi is.
I’ll just leave this right here… bsky.app/profile/thet...
That has been the exact approach of successive Democrat led governments…hence Trump. In other words, it doesn’t work.
If she does, the Democrats learned nothing. Centrism and centrist politicians with their small target incrementalism laid the foundation for two Trump Presidencies. America is in desperate need of a complete reset that can only come from sweeping progressive change from progressive politicians.
@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social You are on the wrong side of history here. Opposing this March speaks volumes to thousands of us who voted for you - YOU DON’T REPRESENT US. We won’t forget that when the opportunity came to step up and promote international law & human rights, you failed. What a legacy.
PSA for all Sydneysiders 🔊 🇵🇸🇦🇺 March for Humanity & Save Gaza, by marching across the Harbour Bridge this Sunday, August 3rd at 1pm - meet at Lang Park. #FreePalestine #SaveGaza #MarchForHumanity
Sending healing energy your daughters way. ✨
"Turning deliberate starvation into a legitimate and acceptable weapon among Israelis...is the most demonic stage so far in the war Israel has launched on the Gaza Strip. ...it is another means for attaining the objective: #EthnicCleansing." -Gideon Levy johnmenadue.com/post/2025/07...
If the decades of widening income & wealth inequality weren’t already enough of a reason for Universal Basic Income, this most certainly is 👇 Governments around the world need to wake up to this reality and change course NOW. #UBI #AI #auspol futurism.com/sam-altman-o...
Looks delish Marie!
There’s something missing in this pic…just can’t put my finger on it??
These older white men of privilege bending over backwards trying to justify the starving of children. How do these people live with themselves?
You’re giving way too much credit to these men.
Ahhh, I gotta feeling there’d be more ‘relevant’ information in all the birthday wishes that could be helpful.
Here’s another subpoena for you… bsky.app/profile/atru...
“I find it so unbelievably evil. It shocks my conscience and my soul..” @anakasparian.bsky.social on IDF killing desperate & starving civilians, including children trying to get food. Ana speaks for everyone with a heart and two eyes right now. Nothing, I repeat, nothing justifies this Genocide.
Richard Marles and his faction are absolute liabilities.
If he wasn’t already, this guy should now be on a watch list for domestic terrorism.
If we create a basic income floor below which no one can fall, and set it high enough and alongside other universal needs like healthcare and education, then everyone will be more capable of becoming the best versions of themselves, which in turn means a society that is the best version of itself.
If anyone was ever unsure, they’re not now. He’s on the list.
Ultimately I see this (as with all of life) as an opportunity to decide which part of me is going to show up in response. I have to live with myself & my decisions, no one else does. With that in mind, I’ve never seen being quiet on genocide as an option & I know my Jewish ancestors would be proud.
Yes. A farm in Victoria, Australia.
“..tinkering at the edges while avoiding any serious confrontation with wealth concentration.” Treasury advice This = millions of desperate, struggling ppl looking for love in all the wrong places aka growing fascism everywhere. Tax the ultra wealthy. Introduce Universal Basic Income. #auspol #UBI
Hitler violated every treaty and agreement he possibly could. If it quacks like a duck…

So Australia’s antisemitism envoy & her husband are reportedly the 2nd largest funders of extremist lobby group ‘Advance’ - who played a major role in the ‘No’ campaign during the Voice Referendum. We didn’t vote for more division & hate @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol
A reminder that we're still currently in NAIDOC Week celebrating and respecting the world's oldest living culture. So many good things to cheer on. www.naidoc.org.au/news/2025-na...
Sadly very true for so many.
This will ultimately fail. The curtain has well and truly been pulled back - Zionism is a sinking ship and deep down they know it. Turns out their once highly effective propaganda machine can’t compete against the world’s front row seat to Genocide.
Really F’d up!
Agree - yet our government doesn’t seem to. The current smart traveller govt advice for the US remains ‘Exercise Normal Safety Precautions’ How is anything happening in the US right now considered normal? #auspol www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations...
Tax the super rich and introduce Universal Basic Income. Taking millions of people out of survival mode. The world would be a much happier, more dignified, creative, curious & expansive place to live. The exciting thing is - it’s not only possible, I believe it’s inevitable. #UBI #TaxTheSuperRich
The love is clearly reciprocated.
The man who’s genocidal actions and propagated conflation of Zionism and Judaism have made Jews less safe all around the world, lecturing on the rise in antisemitism is really…something. 🤬
Generations to come will study this time…the fall of the American Empire.
My latest books have arrived! Watching the direction the world’s been heading, I’ve never felt more compelled to understand how we can create & advocate for a fairer, more inclusive & dignified world. There’s many aspects to how, but Universal Basic Income is undoubtedly a core foundation. #UBI
“The radical view is if you’re giving healthcare to an able bodied 35 year old and you’re not working…” Jordan Actually, you know what is radical? The US is the ONLY developed nation on earth that doesn’t provide universal healthcare as a human right.
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Maya Angelou *E.g. the first Nazi salute
End stage kidney failure disproportionately affects more Black and Brown people in the US. This is sheer racism. Nothing more.

The sooner this world evolves enough to recognise that a human beings worth is not determined by their output, but is inherent in simply being born, the better off we all will be.
They laid the foundation for 2 Trump Presidencies…they really are this bad.
The status quo architects are freaking out.
“..there’s a class warfare going on” Yes there most certainly is. It’s called decades of growing wealth and income inequality. Lord, the rich crying poor and ‘we’re the victims’ is really something.
Don’t you love it when the rich cry poor and the media race to give them a microphone and a platform to use it, but when the actual poor cry poor…crickets.
Pleasure 🙏
You couldn’t write this as fiction. You’d be laughed at for the sheer idiocy of it.
As an Aussie, can I reinforce closing all windows, doors, curtains/blinds. You’re only letting in hot air. Cool down with wet facecloths in front of fans. Drink plenty of water & suck on ice blocks. As soon as the temp drops, open everything up, let the cool air flow through to cool the home. 🙏
MEDIA RELEASE: Jewish Council condemns FM Wong’s endorsement of US military strike on Iranian nuclear targets, which threatens to escalate a dangerous regional conflict and lead to more death and suffering
I’m not disagreeing with you - this is an incredible precarious and fragile time. But I believe it’s the timidity of Democratic leaders (decades of such) everywhere that makes us all the more vulnerable.
I understand the nuances of strategic diplomacy while the world’s geopolitical allegiances & alliances realign. I still believe the Albanese Govt, like the Starmer govt etc are failing to meet the moment.
I remember watching a panel with John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs years ago, where they both said rather matter of factly that Israel has been running US foreign policy for a long time, whether there’s a Democrat or a Republican ‘in charge’. Horrifying.
Ah, Labor. Always quick to capitulate, slow to lead.
Centrist governments around the world who failed for decades to stop the growing chasm of wealth & income inequality created fertile soil for growing fascism/the likes of Trump. Blaming the American voters & not those who created/benefited from the status quo is exactly what they want you to do.
After decades of waiting, Netanyahu’s finally found his truly useful idiot.
Blown away by such a limp response. The ONLY response after telling the people “president Trump circumvented Congress and attacked Iran” is… “This illegal act clearly risks the lives of all Americans. My fellow Democrats and I will be filing articles of impeachment immediately”
