"Australia’s attempt to play both sides of the fence is not from knowledge of right or wrong. It is from cowardice, tinged with a sense of impotence, a fear of being shouted at, of being bullied and left alone to face its enemies."

"Our leaders are not worthy of their followers."

The Iran War demonstrates there's never been a more urgent time for reducing our foolish dependence on fossil fuels.

I am delighted that dogs are able to receive high-quality health care.

But what about humans?

In America today, 85 million are uninsured or under-insured.

Health care must be considered a human right.

We need Medicare for All, NOW.

IRAN

No, it doesn't say who actually fired the missile which killed 153 people. And the BBC doesn't say these are young girls.

No, it's just 153 dead.

They might be anyone.

This is very characteristic also of the framing of the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza

"PROTECT THE KIDS"

"Oh cool we're doing common sense gun control and better mental healthcare and more third spaces for children to BEGIN dealing with the issue of school shootings?"

The conditions that allow ordinary people to build decent lives are being quietly stripped away. Not by one side of politics. By concentrated private interests operating across party lines in ways most of us were never taught to see.

I'm seeing quite a few 'centrists' tie themselves up in knots over their beloved Blair criticising their sensible Starmer for not (out-and-out) supporting the illegal war actions of Trump & the US.

Quite staggering displays of mental gymnastics are on display (in lieu of basic principles).

I hate the U.S. federal government. It is illegitimate and a scam. It serves ZERO benefit to me or 99% of all people. It needs to go, and the damn military can go, too. It is no longer a thing of honor. It is a disgrace worse than it was in 1968.

Of the 25 per cent designated marine parks, many of those still allow oil and gas exploration and extraction; seismic blasting; and industrial fishing. This includes bottom trawling.

We’re supposed to be conserving nature not destructive industries.

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

When war criminals aren't held accountable they come back to do even more evil. Fortunately there is no statute of limitation on crimes against humanity so still time to hold him and others accountable.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

Kidnap people of colour
Bomb school girls
Kill their own citizens
Bomb half a dozen countries
Kidnap a President
Murder a sovereign leader
Protect child rapists
Cut foreign aid
Mass surveillance

And @albomp.bsky.social says we share values with these lunatics.

An election will show we don’t.
