A mere three years of this self-loathing grandiose fiction to go. 🙄 (On the other hand, he'd make a decent PhD thesis ...)

I fear that we are already beyond the point of no return for the Gazans. Buildings can be rebuilt but the scars of what has been done to the Palestinians will live on for generations. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.

Absolutely the vibe the world needs RN

This is real

Here’s me with a last bit of snark about the worst election campaign we’ve seen In generations. And please don’t forget to subscribe to The Shot to support us, thanks so much 🙏🏼 #auspol2025 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Here's me. 'Capitalism has already eaten democracy anyway'

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social! 'Is it over yet?' Ronni and me with words on the same day. Michael earlier this week. Jo kicking butt on The Sunday Shot every week. John and Joel with ace contributions. Everyone around The Shot really put in through this shitshow of an election, you guys rule👏

Bugger the debate - just read @amyremeikis.bsky.social’s weekly column instead www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

In many ways Gregcardigan Sheridan is the Australian's version of the village idiot but without the village.

Here's me. 'On doing the same inadequate shit over and over again until the end of democracy'

Lib candidate has suffered a series of awkward blunders in a radio interview after Dutton said her state would be crucial to him winning the election. Tassie hopeful Bower laughed as she struggled to respond to a question about why she was running for the party, finally answering 'I don't know'.😬

Khaled Sasabi speaks. Movingly and distressingly. Creative Australia's leadership should listen. And then resign. Until that happens, the organisation has no credibility. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse. www.thedailybeast.com/60-minutes-c...

#BREAKING 🚨 The Liberal Party has disendorsed its candidate for the Labor-held seat of Whitlam, Benjamin Britton, after comments resurfaced where he said women should not serve in ADF combat roles Britton, who was a UAP candidate in 2022, has been replaced by Nathaniel Smith

Calling bullshit. Tim Wilson (left) posing with the common man and (right) with his campaign manager (the same person). #auspol

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Here's me. 'Israel is mass murdering journalists and Aussie media loves that shit'

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. 'Chicken run' 'We are not so much being led by donkeys, as led by chooks. In fact, we’re being led by nobody. And these events have highlighted, we’re probably being led by a foreign country.'

I don't need history to prove me right because I am fully capable of judging right from wrong now, in real time. Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. It is threatening people with ethnic cleansing by forced removal as the BEST case scenario or complete annihilation.

For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

Here's my alienated from Mainstream Australia starter pack; a stunted, lame concocted consciousness that has normalised genocidal, psychopathic slaughter. How can you not want to tear this all down?

Israel consulted with the US before launching massive air attacks on the Gaza Strip overnight, says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt aje.io/5uls9d

Israel is blowing children up again. The images are beyond harrowing. This ABC news strap reeks of: look what you made me do.

Israel kills hundreds of Palestinians in a major attack on Gaza, with Hamas saying this marks the end of the ceasefire that began on January 19

The resumption of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, with the full backing of the US government, is an outrage. Israel’s ongoing assault will only deepen the devastation and suffering already inflicted on Gazans.

Updated : At least 342 Palestinians have been killed as Israel launched a massive assault on civilian targets in Gaza, shattering a fragile two-month-old ceasefire. #auspol www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

Something I've been banging on about for some time now: Peter Dutton is a multi-millionaire property developer He has been for all of his adult life. That's who he is & how he earns his wealth For a brief interlude in his 20s he was a cop, yet he and our media have defined him by that ever since

Get a frantic phone call, did you Phil? 😅

Here's me. 'Nazi oligarchs have seized treasury control of an authoritarian White House and everyone seems kinda chill about it'

The second half of this quote deserves to be remembered in the history books

In The Age today. If you can't get the editorial parts of the paper to acknowledge this reality, at least you can buy an ad.

This exchange encapsulates so much of what is wrong with the media: Former ABC Chair Ita Buttrose describes Antoinette Lattouf as “an activist”. “What was the view that Ms Lattouf had Ms Buttrose?” Lattouf’s lawyer asks. “I think she was critical of Israel” Buttrose says.

The chair of the ABC has today in court implied that supporting Israel is neutral and natural and journalism but having sympathy for Palestine makes you an activist that needs to be fired - maybe even catch Covid to save face. That's where we're at.

Opinion | Australia's media will ride roughshod over your rights if you criticise Israel, @keanebernard.bsky.social writes. Meanwhile lobby groups benefit from the protection of the powerful.
