Let’s break the algorithm — reply with a dot.

Happening now! Locals marching down Sydney Rd in peak hour, starting at @PeterKhalilMP’s office in Coburg. Not a peep from Pete, who’s done nothing to stop the g3noc1de

Independent senator Lidia Thorpe has said she doesn't "give a damn" after the Senate voted to censure her over a protest she staged during King Charles' Australian visit. Read more: ow.ly/8UWF50U8L7T

Again, Israeli media is more honest about the actions of the Israeli government than US media. How many Western outlets have you seen actually call it what it is: ETHNIC CLEANSING.

@nick__nobody Yeah he’s right wing Labor. Has always led reactionary politics on council, unless it directly hurt his electoral prospects in his increasingly left leaning ward, in which case he’d add a veneer of progressivism to his politics

@kristin8X It’s a shame how wedged the left is on housing. If you question market driven housing supply, you’re a ‘NIMBY’. The real solutions, like public housing and ending the commodification of housing are lost in the ‘debate’

They’re ~unlocking~ 24 hectares of public land to do this. This is what happens when you make everything about supply and put no constraints on *what* should be supplied, *how* it should be supplied or by *whom*. YIMBY brainworms give governments license to flog off everything.

this measure also reinforces the idea that parents don't know how to - or are incapable of - properly looking after their children. we all know that if this was ever passed, it's children & parents who are racialised in colonial ways who would be targeted for criminalisation.

Just watched a 5 minute Bernie Sanders video in which he read off a screen that was visible in the reflection of his glasses, filmed from two camera angles, and where he said you should vote for Kamala because: - she’d kill less Palestinians than trump - they’ll sort out aid to Gaza but only after you vote for her Americans having to choose between the genocide and genocide lite™️ candidate is wild

Post-election commentary re the Greens is engaging in some obnoxious over-simplifications. Statewide, the Greens vote was pretty stable. It dropped slightly in areas where the majors spent a lot of money attacking us, and rose in many areas where they didn't bother. 1/2

Australia, where peaceful protesters are rounded up by the cops in their homes for protesting against genocide

'I support your cause but not your method' is the same line recycled every time Lidia or any progressive engages in protest that's disruptive. Protest is powerful because it's disruptive. Take away the disruption and you take away the power of protest.

Nova Peris is pro genocide so everything she says is irrelevant. This is the nicest thing I could say about her. She got paid to act as a mouthpiece for genocide. You should be eternally ashamed of yourself you sellout

Not my King. Treaty now.

Well done Lidia Thorpe! Solidarity for using your voice and position to take on the colonisers

What makes Albo so extra evil as he enables this genocide is that he used to be on the side of Palestine when it was politically expedient for him to be so

@elyobo A system which also privatises the pension and absolves the state from providing a proper, state funded pension

@SenatorWong Sanction Israel now

Australia condemns the killing of innocent civilians by Israel in recent operations in Gaza. The humanitarian situation in northern Gaza is unacceptable. Israel must allow essential supplies to flow. I have asked Australia’s officials to convey our concerns directly to Israel.

“In the midst of a genocide, calls for “social cohesion” are obscene. We don’t need cohesion. We need the killing to stop.” @Jeff_Sparrow on Labor and the criminalisation of dissent. overland.org.au/2024/10/the-po…
