@albomp.bsky.social end AUKUS, cut all military and intelligence sharing with the US and close down US bases here in Australia. Under the current US administration having their troops here is probably more of a danger to us than any sort of protection.

20th army of the world is on its 4th year of resisting the 2nd army of the world while the 1st army of the world sleeps in basements after beating its own citizens

What standing up to ICE looks like. #Resist

@greenhousemd.bsky.social

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

To my American friends, please help me understand, you have a president who is operating outside of his legal authority, his only motivation seems to be to enrich himself whilst terrorising as many minorities as possible but there is apparently no method of stopping him. How did this happen?

@albomp.bsky.social FFS do something about this and prove to us that you have Australia’s best interests at heart #notoAUKUS

LAPD deliberately shoots reporter 😶 www.cbsnews.com/news/reporte...

Hanson-Young said it was "simply shocking and completely unacceptable" that US authorities would shoot at an Australian journalist, and urged Albanese to seek an urgent explanation from Trump.

Gun safety rules: 1) Treat all guns as loaded; 2) Always point muzzle in a safe direction; 3) Keep finger off trigger until ready to fire; and 4) BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT. This FCKER was aiming at an Aussie journo... AND FIRED! @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

A dear friend on FB posted this. I feel the same.

Boycott America.

We need to cut all military and intelligence sharing with the USA immediately

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

True story bro.

All the dumbest things about wrestling are now the standards in the White House. #CancelAUKUS The US is no longer a reliable ally. Let’s align with nations that we can take seriously. #AusPol

A question from me in Australia to everyone in the American media: Why are you all talking about a former president's health when you all know there is a mentally unstable psycopath traitor in the White House who's incompetent and extremely corrupt! Why not a word about Trump?

Shades of Tiananmen Square.

In light of Crikey letting the cat out of the bag - to let us know that Scott Morrison will be receiving the Companion of the Order of Australia.. I thought I’d post an old article I wrote in 2021 on Morrison. This is exactly why he doesn’t deserve it. shiannonlc.wixsite.com/mysite-1/pos...

A failed US education system produced a population of deeply ignorant Americans who don't know that their government maintains over 700 US military bases in 88 different countries, has been at war for 231 out of 248 years of its existence, and has displaced 59 million people across eight countries.
