Welp

Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese Festival organisers criticise the university for last-minute booking cancellation of event headlined by special rapporteur for Palestinian territories

Another absolute disgrace in South Australia as the Adelaide University bows to pressure to cancel anyone who speaks out against the slaughter of Palestinians.

The outside influence on our governments and institutions is completely unacceptable.

WTF

Haitian man dies in US immigration custody with untreated toothache, brother says A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

I found this sticker.. don’t know where and why I got it..

color-coded thermal image of a dog

I am currently enjoying this image (infrared_dog.jpg) I found on Wikipedia.

WATCH: “Johnny, you blatantly lied.”

Rep. Johnny Garrett, running for Congress, RUNS 🏃🏻 from us + Tennessean reporter Vivian Jones to 🦆 Duck Q’s about his lie that undocumented immigrants commit 50% of crimes in TN

(Per the AG it’s 2%, 90% of those non-violent/traffic. Also we’d love details.)

How’s that world’s first written constitution thingy going for you?

Checks and balances still functioning well?

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

I doubt that there's a more effective way to capture unitary executive theory in an image.

And because it's the DOJ building, it also captures the notion that the President is above the law.

I’ve literally been sick to my stomach‼️ #disgusting

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

EPA faces lawsuit for rolling back landmark environmental protection The Trump administration gutted the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which codified the health risks of carbon dioxide pollution.

A coalition of groups sued the Trump administration on Wednesday over its decision to reverse the landmark scientific conclusion that CO2 pollution endangers human health, which served as the basis for wide swaths of climate regulations. @ryanknappy.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/epa-faces-la...

Ted Lieu tells reporters the Epstein files contain allegations that President Trump raped and threatened to kill children

And to mention there is no house of review (upper house) in Queensland, it’s a single house parliament - so anything they want they’ll just ram through.

‼️This is not the dressed rehearsal

You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

Apparently, Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump toxic waste water on their neighbors without fear of any consequences.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen:
"We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

The House is voting on thiss at 4pm!

CONTACT your MOC at 202-224-3121 and demand that they vote NO.

The SAVE Act lets politicians kick eligible Americans off the rolls if they can’t dig up passports or birth certificates. Millions of cutizens could be denied a ballot over paperwork.

Congrats to @dieworkwear.bsky.social for getting the Amber Glenn Olympic Gold Medal Seal of Approval:

HHS Has Been Using Anti-Trans Language From a Christian Right Think Tank The department refers to gender-affirming care as “sex-denying procedures,” a term coined by the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals.

The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group.

In normal times, this would be a major scandal.

But under Trump 2.0, it’s Monday.

Yes, Green Day did a great job at the Superbowl.

With the last one, we asked Jon if he could create a start to finish video of how he created the cartoon

Here it is #auspol #politas #cartooning

Very sad to share the news of this legend of Australian political cartooning, and art. Dear Jon Kudelka has died, and we will be the poorer and more dull for his passing.
Sending love and condolences to his family.
What a legacy of scorching wit and joyful capturing of life he leaves.

I had the honour of Kudelka drawing a cartoon to accompany my TV column in The Australian many, many years ago.

He was a good egg and this is a massive loss.

Can all political events have tiny lecterns with adorable children?
