Reeves: "we are very concerned around Irans nuclear ambitions" Some facts Reeves doesn't mention. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel does. Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty. Israel hasn't. Iran allows IAEA observers to inspect its nuclear programme. Israel doesn't.

This is a very good, succinct piece by Ben Saul. "International law is only law if we demand that our allies, not only our adversaries, obey it. If we apply it selectively, we cannot expect others to respect it, or to respect us."

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Why on earth would a protest movement against the worst president in US history begin by acknowledging that he's not so bad www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/o...

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

“Tel Aviv isn’t safe”. Imagine if all the borders were shut and Israelis were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. For 77 years.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

More of this tone please 😏

There is already a nuclear-armed country in the Middle East that does not allow international inspectors despite having nukes for decades - and it’s not Iran. Israel is also one of a handful of countries to have never signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

Israel's latest attacks on Iran, with US backing, are a dangerous escalation risking global war. Australia must clearly state we won't participate and will prohibit use of Pine Gap and other joint US facilities in these attacks.

here's today's post: "we need to talk about this vampiric shitweasel" — what’s happening in LA is this fucker’s fault. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Israelis forces assaulted & murdered a Palestinain man who was walking home in Nablus. They also killed his brother who went to help him. The Israeli military & illegal settlers have killed almost 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct 7th. Nida' Ibrahim reporting

It's not often you hear me praising a Conservative politician... Very well said @kitmalthouse.bsky.social 👏👏
