“They strike you with a drone, a machine from afar, branded with a US arms dealer’s logo. And then you either die, or live to see others murdered and mutilated, with amputated limbs.”

Can’t believe it’s already the final week of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale for 2025.

It has been a blast.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 8d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla.

Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.

The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

It’s just heartbreaking how compromised everything is that Israel can do whatever they like to anyone they like.

6 Australians have been kidnapped. Which seems like something our government should be concerned with…

The absolutely horrific reports of inhumane and degrading treatment that the courageous people abducted from the Sumud Flotilla have been subjected to should jolt the Prime Minister Albanese and Minister Wong into action.
