What to do with political parties who refuse to take you off their spamming lists:

1. Go to their main webpage and grab their official email address.

2. Search for "Subscribe to our mailing list" in any search engine.

3. Subscribe said political party to as many random newsletters as you like.

4. Enjoy the satisfaction knowing their email address will be spammed like crazy from various random places.. Fighting fire with fire 😋

“When [George #Rawick] protested against the tenancy of historians of #slavery to name the archetypal rebel as Nat and not Harriet, when he saw the force as few academics did of Angela Davis’ early writings on #women and slavery, and when he explicitly argued that point-of-production analysis needed to be paired with an emphasis on the #labor of social reproduction. He was very much responding to Selma James’s ideas.”
— David Roediger, Listening to Revolt: The Selected Writings of George Rawick (2010)

As Trump eyes coal revival, his job cuts hobble black lung protections for miners -

Josh Cochran worked deep in the coal mines of West Virginia since he was 22 years old, pulling a six-figure salary that allowed him to buy a home with his wife and hunt and fish in his spare time. That ended two years ago. He’s now waiting for a lung transplant, breathes with the help of an oxygen tank

Peter Dutton doesn’t know much.

What he does know is policing…surveillance, arrest, punishment, incarceration and deprivation of civil liberties.

Peter Dutton will not be happy until his security forces have you under constant surveillance, his security thugs can stop you without reasonable cause and his draconian public safety edicts take away your civil liberties.

Any government lead by him will use police (state) tactics because that is all he knows

A Peter Dutton lead government will undermine Australian democracy, disregard the rule of law and imperil individual rights.

“Just $16.5m of #Labor’s promised $1bn mental health package – or 1.65% – is due to be spent in the next financial year, according to official policy costings that reveal some new care centres might not open until 2029.

Anthony Albanese this month unveiled a major suite of policies to make it easier for the public – in particular young Australians – to access free mental health treatment.
…
The bulk of the #funding – roughly $878m – is #NotAllocated until the 2027-28 and 2028-29 financial years, as the services are progressively built and upgraded.”

The fine print.

Day 24 🎩 🏠🏘️🏚️🏡🏠🏠🏠

“Australia’s 226 federal #MPs own 459 #properties across the #country – an average of two per person – and more than half are property investors as the country prepares to go to the poll in a campaign that will focus on the growing #inequity in the #PropertyMarket.”

The point of the system is to punish those who don’t exploit it.
