this is specifically what Twitter was re-engineered to do, btw. it exists almost solely to threaten anyone at the flashpoint of a nascent social movement.

Wait you're suggesting Netanyahu deliberately set Israelis up to die as a way to achieve the political aims of his govt? Next you'll be telling me that the govt of Israel uses Jewish people everywhere as shields for its crimes, pretending it and they are the same! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Yes! The difference between personal "carbon footprint" and actual climate impact. Making us think it was about individual activity (as opposed to efforts against the real polluters) was always a bad faith ruse.

Joint statement from Senator David Shoebridge and Senator Steph Hodgins-May
“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax
CHC Chair: ‘ICE Is Not Just Busting The Budget, It’s Wrecking Our Economy’
Congressional Hispanic Caucus members joined America’s Voice to call for an end to the ICE Tax that’s making the lives of all working families more expensive.

Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 3d agoNoting that this isn't definitively confirmed but very likely Jacob Coxon's former Twitter account, here's what he has to say about climate change. The world's media hung off every single word uttered by this one guy for two weeks
Remember the random dude who got 49020939 articles of uncritical media coverage in the space of two days because he quit anthropic based on his fears of existential AI risk? Yeah..........he's a climate denier. So is the whole AI industry. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/22/a...

The people who decide the US foreign policy consensus on Israel and Palestine genuinely can't imagine a better settlement than South Africa circa 1984, and once you realize that a lot of these baffling arguments start to make more sense.
Turing Police Andúnië Branch 🇺🇦🇱🇹🇵🇸🏴@dov.bsky.social · 3d agoRemember, if you want US presidents to actually sanction war criminals, you are unserious about the business of government. What you should actually want is for them to privately deliver mildly racist zingers
Thks for the out loud laugh. Wicked, likely a perceptive comment. The US would just put us further down the nuke subs delivery list, after playing manufacturing catch-up for themselves, then China. Meanwhile toss Oz a couple of second hand subs, & help Oz get those nuke sub bases built - for US use.
We’re buying subs from the US because insane nutters on Govt think we need to defend ourselves against China, which the US is proposing to sell weapons to…

Well, I haven't been a fan of how the Greens have been going under her leadership, but very sorry to hear of Larissa Waters' health and hope she recovers soon. And I hope whoever leads the Greens next really picks up the fight. It could hardly be more urgent.
Disgusting. And the media are pretending that our only options this election are the ALP that's doing this, or the LNP that's even more keen to do shit like this, or ON, who would foam at the mouth with excitement about such cruelty. We're not allowed to hear about the Greens. #AustraliaVsHumanity
Pearls and Irritations@johnmenadue.com · 3d agoQueensland has legislated remote camps for children. Victoria once kept youth detention low by investing in community alternatives, but its laws are moving towards tougher sentences and bail. We know there is another way, Tom Keating writes. #auspol #YouthJustice
The way things are going in Australia, I'm starting to think that once I finally get my EU citizenship, I might relinquish my Australian citizenship. I hate seeing the direction the land of my birth and first six decades of life is going.
Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 3d agoStill so little information from the Albanese Government over what data they are planning to hand over to Trump. Every level of this Government is just addicted to secrecy. This agreement will cover our information, surely the public should know about negotiations.
Google is updating its satellite images of Gaza. The comprehensiveness of effort required to reduce an urban landscape to this is beyond imagining. Literal carpet bombing.
