For anyone who is walking around under the mistaken belief that Australia had nothing to do with the overthrow of Salvador Allende's democratically elected government in Chile on 11 September 1973 which ushered in the criminal dictator Pinochet. #auspol www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Remains extraordinary that most Yanks still don't appear to realise that '9/11' was a Saudi attack, by Saudis, with senior Saudi involvement, extending to wealthy Saudi elites and perhaps to government. It's a country of dunces.
in the immediate wake of 9/11, people talked about carpet bombing muslim countries with the same casualness as talking about a nominal tax hike.
Chris@asmarcd.bsky.social · 13h agoI'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.
And this is what my newest piece of terrain will be joining! Normandy 1944. It’s been a while since I’ve had this out for a game but still loving that farmhouse (farmhouse and barn where Ironclad miniatures whilst the walls were from the always amazing @sabotag3d.bsky.social ) #15mm #spreadthelard

The fact that Islamophobia is welcomed, championed, and cheered at this Republican Convention. People are chanting to hurt and shoot Muslim American candidates. It will barely be mentioned this weekend. I assume journalists will ask Democrats to condemn Hasan Piker instead, right?
As Mary Kostakidis writes... Australia must stop disregarding the orders of the ICJ which are cliar: we are obliged under international law to take meaningful action to prevent genocide in Palestine. We're not. On the contrary, we're still selling arms to Israel. consortiumnews.com/2026/09/10/z...

James Talarico: We often think of Jesus as gentle, polite, and kind — which he certainly was. But when his neighbors were being hurt by powerful people, he didn’t stay in his room and pray. He walked into the seat of power and flipped over the tables of injustice.

Listen to him laughing about the cheating. As if he’s kidding. But of course he’s not kidding. He’d gladly let everyone in that room go to jail if it saved his pathetic skin.

'Numerous universities have begun employing staff through subsidiaries in a bid to cut pension costs. Institutions are not required to submit to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) pay data relating to such staff, whereas they are for directly employed staff.' Adding insult to injury.
Subsidiary companies leading to ‘skewed’ gender pay gap reporting
Universities are not obliged to report to Hesa salary details of staff employed by wholly owned companies, leading to fears of misleading figures
