Being pro-Palestine is good politics and good policy.
As we wait for more election results, we already know we have a strong slate heading to the Congress to fight for an end to US complicity in apartheid and genocide.
The tides are shifting. Stop Arming Israel. Free Palestine.

'The Special Envoy's updated report on antisemitism is so misguided, conspiratorial, and frankly, Orwellian that it's hard to know where to start.' Our response highlighted in the @australian today.

Over 50 DSA victories tonight prove socialism can win in the U.S.
Workers deserve more and a reality where all of us live with dignity and hope is closer than we think.
The job's not done, though. Tomorrow, we continue organizing, fighting, and winning for the working class!

What a win! Congratulations Abdul El-Sayed, the first Muslim ever elected to the US Senate. Outspent by Trump’s pick and his big-money backers, he won Michigan with bold progressive ideas. It's time.

With the RBA lining up to whack mortgage holders again, here’s the far fairer way to take the heat out of the economy, and tackle inflation. We tax the 1% and rein in their spending on data centres and their obvious excess, don’t keep punching down on mortgage holders.
ALT Out of control (private) spending In the past two years the economy has experienced a spending spree. But it's come from the private sector, as this graph from the Australian Bureau of Statistics highlights.

The RBA has just hiked rates to a near 20-year high. This will send living costs soaring & spike unemployment - WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THEY'RE DOING IT!
It's absolute madness. If our economy can only be saved by making millions suffer, maybe it's time we built a different economy.

"Israeli forces have also deliberately killed and inflicted serious bodily and mental harm against children in the West Bank – as they have in Gaza – committing age-based persecution against Palestinian children"

This is a @Sydney_Uni visual arts student at our picket line today. She was intending to come in to the studio, but turned round in solidarity with the @NTEUNSW strike. She could give a lesson to one or two of our colleagues about never crossing a picket line.

A growing number of Australians think the Albanese government hasn’t explained why Australia might need nuclear subs. Only 23% of people think it has.
Scrap AUKUS now!

This is our image which triggered the zionist lobby, jumped on by the Daily Telegraph and saw a kneejerk reaction by the NSW Department of Education
It is from the protest against the IDF genocidists being flown over to run in the Sydney marathon
A reminder- protest is legal

Some staff from the @Sydney_Uni Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences walking off the job for a two-hour stop work meeting in pursuit of a fair collective agreement. Unis for staff and students, not millionaire managers!

Exactly what is Labour celebrating today? That they retained their until ‘yesterday’ PM’s seat?
Exactly what are the media chastising Zack Polanski’s for? Trebling the Green vote in said constituency?
Pull the other one chaps.
The UK’s establishment are only interested in one thing: to ensure that, in a country where everything must change, nothing that jeopardises their power changes.
Dead keen to ensure that rivers of money continue to be wasted on inflating their ill-gotten assets, they see the Greens as a clear and present danger to said asset prices. They will do anything to keep Britain on the path of decline and toxicity that is consistent with the propping up of their rentier economy – at the expense of the economy of the vast majority. theguardian.com/politics/liv…
Time to call them out.
