Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

‘For years, Donald Trump’s servility to Vladimir Putin was dismissed as mere vanity or venality, an eccentric quirk of a reality-show president. Now, it is clear that the takeover is complete. On Monday, Trump spit endless insults at Ukraine and its leader while praising Putin without limit.’

Every day they claim they're finding vast amounts of fraud in the federal government. Fraud is a crime. They've made zero criminal complaints. Odd.

The Daily Rupert sent a reporter, photographer and videographer with a pro-Israel activist to a Middle Eastern restaurant in Sydney, where he tried to provoke the staff into doing something antisemitic so they could film it.

A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Liberal Terry Young’s question on a “bulk billing crisis” completely backfires as Mark Butler points the finger right back at the Opposition “Why is there a bulk billing crisis in Australia? Mmm” “Who tried to abolish bulk billing altogether?🔥🔥#QT

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

But not Australia. A truly shameful moment. The Albanese govt is an integrity vacuum.

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

This !!

Props to the non-Spender teals for voting against mandatory sentencing. Re-writing criminal laws because of votes in specific marginal seats feels like the worst possible way to do things.

I fully support the calls for tougher hate speech laws but draw the line at rushing through extreme measures like mandatory sentencing as it sets a dangerous precedent.

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

Trump is explicitly proposing to carry out a policy of genocide and it is incumbent on all nations to say no to that. Australia has no other legal or moral choice.

'Ridiculous, absurd' World reaction to Trump’s ‘take over’ and ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza aje.io/8gea57

Check the smirk on the war criminal Netanyahu. He can hardly believe his luck. The lunatic in the White House has given him all he ever wanted and more.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that "deportation or forcible transfer of population" is a crime against humanity. Australia is a party to the Rome Statute and obliged to enforce its provisions. Trump's plan to remove the population of Gaza is criminal.

Billionaire Elon Musk is tightening his control over broad swaths of the US gov't, prompting growing alarm from Democrats and constitutional scholars. 🔗: aje.io/vy3sje

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Probably time to stop calling it the Trump "Administration" because whatever they're doing, it ain't that.

We weep for the people of Gaza. To unmerciful Trump this is just beach front real estate. To secure a safe future for the people of Gaza and Israel the international community must intervene to rebuild Gaza, its schools, hospitals, homes and infrastructure.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

We eagerly await an update on the steps you are taking to ensure those who have participated in the genocide of Palestinians are not freely walking around in our communities ... as visitors or residents. Thanks, @australianlabor.bsky.social. #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

Oh myyy, they are the very letter of it!

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way" Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated... Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.
