This is one of the pictures the ACT cops confiscated when they shut down a gig at Dissent bar in Canberra last night. Obviously you should not share it.

First it was the poor and disabled (robodebt scam, then gutting the NDIS), now the elderly.
You are next.

Naturally, Ziofash frame free speech by artists who criticise apartheid Israel and its rancid Zionist political ideology as a 'provocation' - good on the Sydney Writers' Festival for continuing to host Randa Abdul-Fattah despite them. It is Zionism and criminal #Israel which are destructive "provocations" to people with a conscience.

The Israeli occupation army continues its large-scale offensive in the town of Salfit, in the central West Bank, targeting Palestinians and their property after forcing several families out of their homes, while bulldozers closed multiple entrances to the town.

This is supposedly what is causing trucking broker stocks to crash today:

"""
Thursday’s rout was sparked by an update from tiny AI logistics firm Algorhythm Holdings Inc., which said its SemiCab platform in live customer deployments was helping its customers’ internal operations to scale freight volumes by 300% to 400% without a corresponding increase in operational headcount. Shares of the company soared 12%.

Algorhythm, which had a market capitalization of less than $5 million before Thursday, previously operated as The Singing Machine Company, Inc. — selling karaoke products — until rebranding in 2024 as an AI logistics firm. The company reported less than $2 million in sales for the quarter ended September 30, with a net loss totaling nearly $3 million for the period.

"Australia should ostracise, not welcome" the visit of Israeli President Herzog.

Professor Ben Saul, UN Special Rapporteur

So Herzog will make an Official Visit to Parliament on Tuesday and journalists have been asked not to report on it. This is really bad. https://bsky.app/profile/nickfeik.bsky.social/post/3me6doslork2b #BanHerzog #auspol #Gaza #StopIsrael

Waiting for America to improve itself is about as useful as giving Enron more time to explain it's books.

🚨 HORRIFIC: A newly released image from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, taken by an Israeli soldier, captures a sunset he was contemplating after his unit had finished “clearing” the area.

There are no landmarks left. No homes. No neighborhoods. Entire residential blocks have been wiped out the area erased completely.

Report: "They Executed Him For Wielding A Camera"

"We have a nice little database & now you’re considered a domestic terrorist" ~federal agent

Alex Pretti was executed in Minneapolis by U.S. Border Patrol agents while exercising his First Amendment right to film their actions.

As with Renee Good, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem maliciously lied about Pretti after his murder.

Ocean waters are aging? What?
Yes: we oceanographers call 'age' the time since deep ocean water was last in touch with the atmosphere. It is a measure of 'ventilation', deep vertical overturning of the ocean.
Data show this process is slowing: #AMOC slowdown.
That is bad news for climate, and there is a serious risk of the AMOC crossing a tipping point in the next few decades towards an unstoppable shutdown. One of the worst-case climate change nightmares.
