Gaza winter catastrophe repeating in tents that resist neither wind nor rain The seasons change, but for those fighting for survival through wet winters and baking summers in Gaza's tents, the suffering remains.

"This is the third winter since the Israeli genocide began in October 2023. Thousands of families have not entered a home in more than 800 days. They have touched no wall that protects them, no window that shuts in warmth, no bed that shields them from the cold."

One should ask ;
Are those Agencies still as active, to our National detriment, today ?

Two frames.1: Background lists “undermining the judiciary; ignoring due process; defying the constitution; seeking retribution against political enemies; inciting mob violence; punishing (dissent); under(mining free press); extra-(judicial killing); mass (deportations); param(ilitary crackdowns); cult of (personality); militaristic symbols; purging minorities; rewrit(ing/eras)ing history; state(propa(ganda)”. Commentator in cardigan with patched elbows and reading glasses says, “To call Trump fascist would be a wild exaggeration *snort*” 2: Back-ground lists “free childcare; free buses; rent freezes; affordable housing; city-owned grocery stores; taxing billionaires; boost minimum wages”. Same commentator throws hands in air, glasses fly, says, “AAAAK!! MAMDANI’S A COMMUNIST!”

PANIC!!

A statistic that continues to live rent free in my mind: half of all international shipping is just moving fossil fuels around.

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 104 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants

A ceasefire is not “fragile” when 104 people are murdered. It is over.

The only way to ensure delivery of the AUKUS subs is to pre commit to using them against our most important trading partner China. Have we already given the commitment to surrender our sovereignty and attack China if the US demands it? No politician has addressed this reality.

It was obvious from the moment Trump opened his mouth that what Palestinians were getting was a "Clayton's Peace Plan."

The "Peace Plan" you get when you're not getting a peace plan. The "Peace Plan" you get that only protects the perpetrators of a genocide. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

"Deradicalization of Palestinians? This is an Israeli settler who beat a Palestinian woman during olive harvest while accompanied by IDF soldiers in the West Bank village of Turmus Aya. The soldiers, the politicians, the courts, are all behind him. Photo by @infinite_jaz."

“Notice how Israel actually killing Palestinians doesn’t “threaten” the ceasefire?”

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

How in the fuck do we live in a world where Trump can openly fund a bloody genocidal war then later get praised for a ceasefire of the same bloody genocidal war?

The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

‘We must keep the pressure on’: Humanitarians say ceasefire doesn’t erase Gaza genocide “This much-needed and welcomed ceasefire does not change the simple fact that Israel has just committed a genocide in Gaza,” wrote the co-founder of European Jews for Palestine.

New:
Censorship by any other name.
The National Press Club cancelled a speaker, Chris Hedges, who planned to address the mass killing of journalists in Gaza. The mainstream press didn’t report it.

Judge allows Kostakidis ‘antisemitism’ case to proceed Justice Stephen McDonald told the court, in the course of a six-minute hearing on Thursday, that the contention the Zionist Federation of Australia had no case against journalist Mary Kostakidis had t...

"McDonald is thus giving credence to the scurrilous charge by the ZFA that one of the best-known and most respected journalists in Australia may be guilty of racial hatred because she dared criticise actions in Gaza by the State of Israel — not the Jewish people —

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Watt nears deal with Coalition to finally overhaul environment laws Environment Minister Murray Watt will sit down with his Liberal counterpart Angie Bell today, with quiet optimism in both parties that a deal might soon be struck to finally rewrite Australia's "broke...

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

Exclusive: National Press Club cancelled Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for being “in favour” of Palestine Correspondence obtained by Lamestream shows the NPC confirmed Chris Hedges as a speaker, before cancelling him due to "balance".

More detail here on the NPC cancellation of a journalist who was booked to speak about Gaza.
Incredible how badly our cultural institutions have failed us.

Labor pledged to save $6.4bn through cutting the government's use of consultants and external labour, and yet here they are forking out more. The government's focus must be on rebuilding the public service for core work functions.

A months-old baby and 17 others were killed, and 40 injured, in a massacre in Gaza City today.

MSF denounces killing of 14th staff member in Gaza Medical staff were hit by Israeli forces while wearing their MSF vests and waiting for a bus to go to work at a hospital.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières just had their 14th member of staff killed by Israeli occupation forces.

Israel deserves to be fully sanctioned. Netanyahu’s Govt make apartheid South Africa look like a benign state.

‘Baudin’s or bauxite?’: stark warning black cockatoo won’t survive mining expansion BirdLife WA calls consequences of Alcoa’s proposals to clear 11,000ha of jarrah forest ‘irreversible and catastrophic’ for endangered bird

“Baudin’s or bauxite – we can’t have both”

It’s a stark warning … but Alcoa’s proposed expansions to its bauxite mining in WA’s jarrah forests will be catastrophic for the endangered Baudin’s black cockatoo.
