This 🧵reveals an empire in decline.

Lame, low energy, loser.

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Is there a better, cheaper defence strategy than #AUKUS? If the Albanese govt is genuinely convinced about the wisdom of this dodgy deal, they would do the obvious and enable a public review. The fact that they haven't suggests that they know the answer. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

šŸ† to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Morning visitor.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

#ThisIsNotJournalism. This is being complicit with fascism. #NoKings

In 2023, Russell Vought detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest: ā€œWe want to be able to shut down the riots and not have the legal community or the defense community come in and say, ā€˜That’s an inappropriate use of what you’re trying to do." (Published Oct. 2024)

In case you had forgotten. #GazaGenocide

"once criticism of Israel is conflated with antisemitism … you’ve successfully manufactured the catalogue of silenced artists we have witnessed in recent years.ā€ @louiseadler1.bsky.social #auspol www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Netanyahu admits Israel is arming gangs and clan members in Gaza to counter Hamas's influence, and new evidence shows Israel is using them to loot aid and implement its displacement plan. In response, the Hamas government set up the ā€œArrow Unit.ā€ mondoweiss.net/2025/06/insi...

Folks it doesn't even *look* like a parade is supposed to look Like whoever planned this has never seen a parade

ā€œThe sanctioning of two Israeli ministers was just such a pathetic response to the Netanyahu regime’s ongoing genocide.ā€ @davemilbo.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

The most exciting thing that happened in Trump's Bigly Birthday Parade was Marco Rubio's yawn. #NoKings

ā€œAt his National Press Club address , there was no mention of Gaza, no mention of climate policy …there’s a question as to whether Albanese’s cautious managerial style will cut it.ā€ @roycerk2.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

ā€œā€˜Progressive patriotism’ is such a bullshit Orwellian phraseā€ @davemilbo.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

ā€œAs the Minnesota assassinations show us, America is in a very dark place at the momentā€ @instanterudite.bsky.social #NoKings #SundayShot

"America will always look out for America. It’s time for Australia to do the same." @amyremeikis.bsky.social #AUKUS #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

These vehicles are prepared to head to the front when needed, which means to any peaceful American city Trump wants to terrorize next.

And a reminder that Trump pardoned hundreds of convicted domestic terrorists with similarly rabid Christo-fascist views to the Minnesota assassin.

Here we are! Ready to go! Join us at 9am for #sundayshot #auspol youtube.com/@thesundaysh...

🧵 "Still at large: A right-wing theocrat assassin, armed legally, certified by the state to run around in an almost-police uniform with high-powered weapons. From the Christian faction closest to our lawless president, whom they treat as a messiah." Trump's America - Christo-fascists emboldened.

We need bold tax reform. Productivity is falling, living costs are rising & intergenerational inequality is growing. It's time for a fairer system that drives innovation, cuts pollution, & makes fossil fuel multinationals pay their share by fixing the PRRT and ending subsidies. #TaxReform #auspol

"I documented my journey when I was in Gaza, and I was told that I wasn't allowed to do that, but I did it anyway because I just felt like it was a moral obligation" Dr Mo demonstrating far greater humanity & morality than anyone in the Albanese Cabinet. #StopIsrael www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

While you are assessing the cost and benefits of a home battery because you want to do the right thing, Israel is bombing oil fields and exposing our atmosphere to carbon emissions we can’t even calculate.

ā€œ'Democracy' has been narrowed down to a view that it is only about elections and not about well-functioning institutions. Our democracy is becoming more and more a facade." @johnmenadue.com johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

"What Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip is not happening because of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. They aren’t even the main culprits. Blaming them and only them is self-righteousness and hypocrisy." - Gideon Levy #StopIsrael johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

The @australiainstitute.org.au's @emmashortis.bsky.social has some wise words for the Albanese Labor Govt re #AUKUS. I hope the Govt heeds her advice. #auspol #USPolitics #diplomacy #defence

"America needs to be more Gavin Newsom and AOC and less Mike Johnson and Marco Rubio. More Harvard and less Columbia. More Atlantic, less Washington Post ...They need to stand up and refuse to don the brownshirts of the MAGA crew." @instanterudite.bsky.social #NoKings theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

"Would you rather be dealing with Macron and the French to deliver submarines right now, or Trump and Hesgeth? Would you rather be part of a strategic alliance that looks to our region and Macron, Merz and Carney or one that relies on The Real Housewives of the White House?" #SundayShot

"International pressure over starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated in little more than the time it took for the smoke of the first missile strikes to clear over Tehran." The moral bankruptcy of western nations is complete. #SundayShot www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

"@davidpocock.bsky.social said the Albanese govt’s failure to respond to the Murphy review and ban inducements had 'clearly emboldened the sector'." With a huge majority, the government must act. If not, it will confirm they put vested interests first. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Trump's America.

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

"International pressure over starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated in little more than the time it took for the smoke of the first missile strikes to clear over Tehran." 😬🤬 This reflects the total moral bankruptcy of western nations. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
