Labor has really turned Australia into the pathetic little lapdogs of genocidal maniacs. This is horrifying news and we should be ashamed.

"Muslim-Jewish coexistence was not an abstract idea or a dream. It was everyday reality. The face of the Middle East used to be totally different before the rise of Zionism & the creation of the State of Israel." Arab Jewish historian Avi Shlaim w/ Rania Khalek. Full episode: youtu.be/zSZo5l-oS4o

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session on Sunday following U.S. military strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites overnight and concern over the rapidly escalating conflict in the region.

No Congressional approval. No public debate. No plan for what comes next. Behind these men is a massive military machine bent on profit, feeding their decisions & responsible for the last 3 failed US-led wars - which Australia joined. Wars which cost so many citizens their lives, homes, communities.

Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning “sleeper cells” in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

I tried to stop myself laughing but failed.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

It was reported that the US asked China to intervene and ensure that Iran did not do this. So either Iran ignored China or, more likely, China ignored the US, as it gets most of its oil from Russia. But great job at driving up gas prices, Donald!

I wonder if Tulsi remembered to burn this shirt . . .

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Iran’s FM responds to the overnight attack

Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post. Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

(BREAKING) China foreign ministry: "China strongly condemns the US for attacking Iran and attacking nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency."

Bill Clinton, "Under Netanyahu, the Israelis have no intention of giving the Palestinians a state" "Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran because that way he can stay in office for ever and ever. He's been there for 20 years"

The racism is off the charts with this regime.

I wonder which war we’re going to lose first: Iran or LA

This is precisely what happened. The same effort, over and over again, with Democrats and Republicans. But America was finally weak enough to simply ignore and its president idiotic enough to go along with it.

Anyone thinking the “MAGA base” won’t stand for Trump starting another forever war are completely delusional.

You did that, Trump❗️🤬 You MORON! Brewing storm: Which US bases in West Asia are within Iran’s missile crosshairs? #NoWarsForIsrael #NoWarWithIran @presstv.bsky.social

Or maybe he’s psychologically incapable of acting and speaking on anything but pure impulse.

So odd that Congress is so willing to have their power usurped and stripped from them.

"I'm not voting for Kamala because she's going to drag us into WW III"

BREAKING: The US says it is optimistic that the Iran war will be as quick and easy as the 20-year war with Afghanistan when we replaced the Taliban with the Taliban ♥️

Hug your kids and loved ones today everyone #auspol

And the US just bombed Iran at the behest of Israel, which has been claiming its at immediate risk of a nuclear strike for 30 years and we’ll all be told Israel has a right to defend itself, but anything Iran does is an act of war and in another 30 years we’ll be told there was no need for any of it

My prediction, Iran is going to bomb America's military bases and heavily attack Israel, attempt to mine the sea, attacks from Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and terrorist cells from Syria and Iraq.

Richard Marles and @albomp.bsky.social must be so happy. Congratulations on tying us to this lunatic.

Phew. US has dropped its bombs on Iranian nuclear sites. Die is cast.

Dave Milner #TheShot @theshot.net.au Lets not forget the US economy can’t survive without creating/engaging in wars #Auspol

In the early 1950s, Iran had a liberal prime minister who promised to stop shipping the country's resource riches offshore, but that was not going to work for the West.

Speers doesn’t want to touch Raf Epstein’s topic of legality. Israel’s ‘self defence’ is bullshit and everyone knows it. #AusPol

Raf Epstein rips into “friends & colleagues” in the media for not asking “whether or not what Israel is doing is illegal” in Iran & “not even asking questions about what the intelligence is” Phil Coorey “I don’t think they care” Epstein “But that’s the problem!”💥 #ABCInsiders

No longer unfair and alarmist.

There is an issue with flies coming into the house. Normal people: gets flypaper or something. Me:

At drink and draw tonight one of the winning prompts was “half man half fish half sexy”, and NO, I know what you’re THINKING, I did not come up with this prompt, my collaborator did. And oh my god. People nailed it.
