For even the "establishment" Republicans, incitement to violence is now routine.

Seeing all the Smart People rush to scold us and say these massive civil rights protests are a bad idea, because the 2020 protests helped Trump. Anyways I wonder who won the election that year

"Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous." -Penny Wong Australian govt is clear: *rhetoric* from two men is "not acceptable". But routine war crimes & mass starvation by a rogue state? Go for it.

"Rick Wilson refers to Miller as Trump’s Heydrich, the Nazi SS officer who was the principal architect of the Holocaust, and believes he is 'truly one of the most evil people in the country'.” When a Nazi analogy is entirely apt. #racism #TrumpTyranny

They had “incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights" - Penny Wong Sanctioning two men for incitement is pathetic tokenism. When the Israeli govt is COMMITTING "extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights" daily. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

"at a time of rolling and intensifying crises in geopolitics, technology, climate and inequality, is it enough to say this is the limit of the government’s work?" The problem with 'a limited mandate' is that, without policy reform, things will get worse. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

One of the most privatised education systems in the world - and this would entrench privilege even more. A two-tier system - bloated edifices for the rich and the rest can go to Scrapheap High. Appalling

We don’t have a gas shortage, we just have a gas export problem. The capture of Labor by the gas industry continues - madness to be pushing for new gas projects to supply 🇦🇺 sometime in the future rather than just requiring uncontracted gas to be provided to 🇦🇺. www.afr.com/policy/energ...

www.smh.com.au/national/hon... Unlimited thanks to @jennaprice.bsky.social for this brilliant piece expressing what we feel. "Honouring" the dishonourable insults us all...most especially those who directly suffered from the naked racism, greed & cruelty to the most vulnerable of this man's years.

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets? Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”. Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA. #NotJoking

Even that perennial favourite value "rule of law" is now a complete joke. Trump and Netanyahu are doing all they can to undermine it. And here, a former PM responsible for state-inflicted terror and suicides through the illegal #robodebt scheme faces ZERO accountability. And instead gets a gong.

“We don’t need the fucking marines”. #TrumpTyranny

submitted 1 day ago • 0 comments

US President Trump is prepping hundreds of US Marines to send into Los Angeles to confront his own citizens. Australia “hosts” 2,500 US marines in Darwin who are also under Donald Trump’s control. Labor and the Coalition says this makes us safer. The Greens say it is a major national security risk.

“This time you don’t actually know what the Israelis can do. And...no country is going to stand up to them anyway." But at least for Greta and her colleagues, there is some media attention. Thanks to spineless western nations, for Palestinians in #Gaza and #WestBank, Israel has total impunity.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Israel has long used undercover forces posing as Palestinians to sow strife. Today, it is using this strategy again in Gaza in the form of the gangs taking control over humanitarian aid. The goal is to fragment and dismember Palestinian society. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra... #Palestine #Israel

"The broader threat to the US...comes not from its bombastic figurehead Trump, but from the fascist-style forces he has unleashed on the institutional structures of the US political system." Precisely why Australia needs to move from US dependency long-term. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

This is precisely correct.

Australia also needs to look to stronger ties in both Asia and the EU. But first we need a PM who will level with us about the changing world order, and the dangers of US dependency. And a Deputy PM who doesn't suck up to an incompetent, high risk, Christo-fascist US Defence Secretary. #auspol
