"Australians must ask, who decides what we can say? Who defines what is hate and what is dissent? And who benefits from this silencing?

This is not just about one envoy or one definition. It’s about whether Australians will allow unelected figures to dictate public discourse, criminalise free speech and reshape our institutions in secret."

If You're Still Supporting Israel In 2025, There's Something Wrong With You As A Person

It’s 2025. #Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in #Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a #Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.

There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support #Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities.

Well, that was an interesting phone scam attempt.

Claimed to be from Telstra, dangled a 40% discount but very specifically didn't tell me what services I was using, if any. Read out a valid GMail address that I do still use for some services, and which has been involved in a few data leaks in the past.

Then told me to check my phone for a login code "from Telstra".

MFA code arrived *from Google*.

That seems suspiciously like someone trying to log in to or reset the password on my GMail account.

I was playing along just out of boredom, but I could see that catching someone out for sure.

Here's a tip:

ALWAYS HAVE MFA
but
NEVER READ OUT AN MFA CODE OVER THE PHONE.

Also: have a password manager, and have unique passwords for everything. And never trust phone calls.

Limitless retardation. Even if you believed space lasers were real and being used to start wildfires in some sort of space-age Rube Goldberg contraption, blue is a dumb color to paint your house. Blue primarily reflects blue light while absorbing the rest of the colors. It might provide some small protection against a blue laser, but is effectively black from the perspective of a red (or infrared) laser. They should paint their roof white, and not just white in visible light but also in UV and IR.

Not that painting your roof would protect the trees nearby which will catch fire and then spread to your house.

Woman in the U.S. is going viral after recording herself painting her property BLUE.

She believes she’s in an ‘at risk’ area and isn’t taking any chances. Ask the people in Maui if they think she is crazy. We are all at risk quite honestly. You all know why right?

PFLP Congratulates Georges Abdallah on his Release, Considers his Steadfastness a Victory

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine congratulates the comrade and internationalist fighter Georges Abdallah on the decision to release him after more than four decades spent in French prisons, in a heroic and exceptional defiance of the most heinous tools of imperialist oppression, and warns against any imperialist and zionist pressures or attempts to thwart this decision, as happened previously.

This decision represents a victory for the will of steadfastness and revolutionary resilience, and at the same time embodies a victory for the cause of Palestine, whose banner this great progressive leader carried with pride and competence.

The continued detention of comrade Abdallah, despite a judicial decision for his release, constituted a stain on the forehead of French and American imperialism, and a blatant complicity with the zionist entity. It reminds that this arrest and detention is purely political, and represented a blatant violation of the law and decisions of the French judiciary. It commends his principled stance rejecting all attempts at blackmail and bargaining, and his insistence on the legitimacy of the Palestinian resistance, considering it a legitimate option with no compromise.

The Front affirms that Abdallah’s detention throughout these years sends a clear message to the world about the necessity of confronting the forces of colonialism and global arrogance, exposing zionist and imperialist crimes, and rejecting subservience and submission. Furthermore, his legendary steadfastness represents an inspiring model for the Arab and international revolutionary left, and should mark the beginning of a true awakening in the battle for national and social liberation, and for a free Palestine from the river to the sea.

The Front highly appreciates the efforts of all free people in the world, foremost among them the International Campaign for Solidarity with Georges Abdallah, and all parties, groups, and progressive internationalist activists, who did not hesitate for a single moment to continue pressure and struggle for his release, believing that defending Abdallah is defending justice and the Palestinian cause, which Abdallah made his primary compass of struggle.

The Front also values comrade Abdallah’s stances inside his prison, and his steadfast support for Palestinian prisoners in their struggles, and his engaging in symbolic hunger strikes in their support, foremost among them the imprisoned leader comrade Ahmad Sa’adat, Secretary-General of the Popular Front, emphasizing that the prisoners’ battle is one battle against oppression and colonialism, and that international solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle is not limited by bars or confined by prisons.

The Front calls for escalating the struggle for the release of all prisoners and political detainees in zionist and Western prisons, and sees this battle as an integral part of the international struggle against injustice and colonialism.

Glory to the internationalist fighter Georges Abdallah… Freedom for Palestinian prisoners in zionist occupation prisons and Western prisons, and victory for Palestine and the resistance.

Georges Abdallah Will be Free; Palestine Will be Free!

On 25 July 2025, after 40 years in prison and an entire life in struggle, Georges Abdallah will be free!

Today, Thursday, July 17, 2025, the Paris Court of Appeal has ordered the release of our comrade, Lebanese communist and resistance fighter in the Palestinian liberation struggle, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, who has been imprisoned for over 40 years.

After more than four decades of relentless political and judicial persecution and imprisonment by the French authorities and successive governments, after a life of struggle and steadfast resistance, after decades of mobilization by his supporters to liberate Georges Abdallah from French colonial and imperialist prisons, our comrade is finally set to be released from French custody on July 25.

Our immense joy at the announcement of this decision cannot be complete, however, until he has arrived in Lebanon—on his land, surrounded by comrades, loved ones, and family—he, whose flame of resistance has never been extinguished despite the efforts of France and its allies. Throughout these more than 40 years of imprisonment, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah has stood as a symbol of struggle and determination for entire generations of activists, who have come of age in political engagement with his name in their hearts and have mobilized to demand his release. Even today, from his prison cell, Georges Abdallah remains a living symbol of the resistance of peoples against imperialism, colonialism, and Zionism—an uncompromising resistance that refuses to yield in the face of its enemies. His example has proven vital for the movement in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance over the past decades.

The political responsibility taken on by Georges Abdallah from his prison cell over the past 40 years exemplifies the unique role and mission borne by all revolutionary prisoners— including and particularly the more than 10,800 Palestinian prisoners, and especially the imprisoned leaders of the Palestinian resistance. Those who confront the repressive, colonial, and imperialist prison systems, by virtue of their role before and during their incarceration, embody the advanced front of their people’s resistance to oppression.

As we celebrate the upcoming liberation of our comrade, our hearts and minds remain torn, and our thoughts turn to the more than 10,800 Palestinian prisoners enduring starvation, illness, isolation, violence, sexual assault, and targeted killings in Zionist prisons. We extend our deepest solidarity to the imprisoned leadership of the resistance—those sentenced to dozens, hundreds, even thousands of years, accumulating life sentences, yet whose certainty of being freed through the struggle of their comrades remains unshaken. We think of the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, loved ones and comrades, in the hands of the enemy, far from those they love, far from the warmth of their communities—yet who, through resistance and struggle, have built a school of struggle and a community of resistance within the Zionist prisons. Our thoughts are with the 73 prisoners who have been martyred in Zionist prisons since October 7, and with the families of the martyrs held in the morgues and “cemeteries of numbers” of the Zionist regime, where over 700 bodies of Palestinian martyrs are being held, stolen from their families, denied a dignified burial—leaving behind a gaping wound no amount of love from their people can fill. We think of all prisoners of the Palestinian cause and all revolutionary prisoners torn from their comrades and loved ones, in Zionist, imperialist, and reactionary prisons around the world. The upcoming liberation of our comrade Georges Ibrahim Abdallah will be their victory, and we will continue to mobilize until we can celebrate theirs as well.

As our comrade Georges Ibrahim Abdallah receives the news of his imminent release in his cramped cell in Lannemezan, and shares it with his fellow detainees, our hearts bleed in the face of the current situation in Gaza and the region more broadly, in the face of the genocide the Palestinian people have endured for over 21 months now. Every liberation of prisoners torn from imperialist and Zionist prisons—especially those who, like Georges, have refused any compromise or betrayal despite decades of incarceration—is a promise of future victory, of better days ahead, and of justice for the lives and futures torn apart by colonial violence.

We extend our most heartfelt and sincere greetings and thanks to the successive generations of comrades who have fought this battle with determination—to those who passed away before seeing this moment, to all those whose hearts beat in unison with our comrade, to the organizations and individuals who dedicated years of their lives, sleepless nights, and months of mobilization to build events and demonstrations; to those who chanted our comrade’s name in the streets, on university campuses, and wherever their steps led them. This is a collective victory—a victory for an entire movement—which must serve as a foundation to continue the struggle and win further victories, until the liberation of Palestine, from the River to the Sea.

Let’s continue mobilizing until July 25 and the arrival of our comrade in Lebanon!
Freedom for all our prisoners!
Glory to the Palestinian resistance!
From the River to the Sea: Palestine will Win
