@melissagiragrant.com on LA: "It’s nearly impossible to figure out what compliance is supposed to look like when police are launching weapons of war on the public. In such a gross imbalance of power, the police are the ones really drawing the lines."

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

“America actually is, at present, an occupied country. . .To the extent that this statement is complicated by the fact that those in power were elected, their conduct in office seems not to be what many of their voters were led to expect or would have chosen.” www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

In 2020, Trump wanted to use lethal force on protesters. Defense Secretary Mark Esper stopped him. Now, as Los Angeles rises up against ICE, Pete Hegseth leads the Pentagon. This is the scenario many warned about: a president surrounded by yes-men, with no one left to offer restraint.

Isn’t Israel supposedly in support of a two state solution? Or are they admitting that they will only accept apartheid from the river to the sea?

Netanyahu taps arms smuggler and mercenary Erik Prince to run "humanitarian relief" for Gaza. Very little is known about the private companies contracted by the new Gaza Humanitarian Fund, staffed by CIA, Blackwater and US military personnel, from their funding to their rules of engagement.

Sam Maiden in Insiders was right - Allegra Spender should be the Libs shadow Treasurer - heck leader. But the Liberal Party spent a generation ignoring women and pretending climate change is a UN conspiracy. Not sure they are ready to reverse either. - eg see Hastie

Is any journalist going to mention that when Dutton talks about "young Australians" he never mentions education. Ever. The man has no vision for an intelligent, engaged, educated Australia. He appeals to anger, fear, division and ignorance. #auspol #AusVotes25 #education

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Israel violated the ceasefire it had signed so as to murder 1,500 people, injuring 3,700 others in the process. For 'good' measure, it has also been starving the survivors of food and medicine. And the West continues to fret about Trump's on-off tariffs! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
