BREAKING: Trump Trademarks “WWIII.”

Remember, everything Netanyahu does is to keep himself out of prison. For the sake of one crook's liberty, tens of thousands of people have been murdered, and now a possible full-scale war has been provoked. Israel must rise up and unseat him.

BREAKING: The UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand announce today for the first time ever sanctions against members of the Israeli government— in particular the far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Betzalel Smotrich.

Fascism is staring the country in the face, but this editorial still finds time to snipe at Harris, and it maintains that only peaceful protests are legitimate as Trump "tests the limits of his power". If these are the adults in the room, they are on Temazepam.

Talk to your doctor to see if fascism may be right for you

Buyer’s remorse.. Today’s @smh @theage cartoon.

My latest @theguardian.com Books cartoon

In my hazy memory the victims of Golden Age crime fiction are forever being stabbed with things like exotic daggers (kris?) and assegais, which were conveniently found decorating the walls of English country houses. So why can't I think of a single example? 🙄

Brave people, facing down a genocidal regime. Be nice if some of those “concrete measures” ever materialized
