Every day since Oct2023, Yusuke Furisawa has stood alone in the streets of Japan with banners reading #FreePalestine and #StopTheGenocide. As Israel continues its genocide in Palestine's Gaza, the Japanese activist says he refuses to stay silent despite being ignored by most passersby.
We've reached the point where caring is radical. #auspol
The Israel lobby is so used to arrogantly making shit up and having governments adopt it as policy, no questions asked. So they didn't expect the Commissioner holding them to account. And thanks to their chutzpah, an investigation into antisemitism highlights Islamophobia. #auspol

Im ashamed of the Australian Govt. PM thinks he can take my vote for granted because LNP are worse. I acknowledge some good domestic reforms, the silence on genocide, acceptance of Israeli envoy interference, acceptance of Zionist lobby and support for Segel means I cannot vote for them.
Good questions

#RealHeroes Vs #Fascism, #Australia. Thanks to all of you for turning up. Heroes, every one. We need Australia to help us against this worldwide scourge. You know what happens to many of us if they win, #auspol.
PHONy is holding a $120 fundraiser at The Tower Hotel (686 Burwood Road, Hawthorn East) tonight & some nogoodniks have turned up to say "Gidday!" www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
It would be appropriate to treat this disgusting attack (& others) on Indigenous people at a significant & sacred place in the same way as an equivalent attack on other people at a built place of cultural/religious observance (eg synagogue, church, mosque, temple, shrine) would be treated. #Auspol
Victoria Police are investigating an allegation of assault at Camp Sovereignty with a 37-year-old victim treated for facial injuries.
Finally…RALPH CARR can now be named as a convicted rapist. And can we now please put a stop to the ludicrous suppression of rich rapists’ names.
If you turn up to a press conference from which your media colleagues have been banned for doing journalism you're not a scab but you're certainly scab-adjacent.
Naarm/Melbourne has again showed up in force to protest Israeli atrocity in Gaza and the West Bank, grotesque Australian government and corporate complicity, and the silence and indifference of the husks posing as human among us. From the river to the sea.
No, we have not had "a week of #AUKUS double-speak". We've had nearly six years. #DitchAUKUS #auspol
A week of AUKUS double-speak leaves everyone scratching their heads: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-01/us-military-personnel-aukus-deployment-conroy-remarks/106982608
Israel is killing thousands of innocent people, maiming children but in Australia we have a royal commission supporting these bastards

Everyone says Australia has a productivity problem. Funny. Nurses are productive. Teachers are productive. Carers are productive. Farmers are productive. Seems to me the people doing the actual work aren't the problem. #auspol #TaxWealth
H5N1 (bird flu) is now spreading through resident Australian wildlife. Why have the full details of federal, state, and territory risk assessments and response plans _still_ not been released to the public? Are the plans adequate? Full statement - australianmammals.org.au/files/1608_b...

Pauline says Australians are being “silenced” because people take offence too easily. The case she just lost? She took offence at a tweet. Her free speech has always come with one condition-she does the speaking
