🚨 BREAKING: FBI arrests judge in Wisconsin

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Not hard to work out why Melbourne Storm would do such a thing - www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/st...

A reminder that when @yassmin.bsky.social posted a short skeptical Facebook post gently criticising ANZAC day, she was on the receiving end of a large-scale bullying and abuse campaign orchestrated by white Australian journalists that lasted MONTHS ketanjoshi.co/2018/04/25/t...

So which is it News dot com dot au You literally are saying the event that happened was disgraceful whilst the top banner ad is literally part of the reason that the act occurred. Your staff didn't even think to pause the ads today.

So the @australia.theguardian.com send me my annual subscription renewal. Up from $160 to $200. So I ask them "Why the 25% increase?" Other than some ethereal "costs" increase as an explanation I felt I was talking to a bot. CPI is under 5%< where's the 25% cost increase? 1...

Kneecap riled up Fox News, gave Sharon Osbourne an ulcer and Jonathan Greenblatt is probably trying to end Coachella right now. The Irish are as ever the MVPs.

Almost every energy claim made by Dutton isn’t just wrong – it’s precisely opposite to the reality revealed by simple fact-checking

US advocating for war crimes in Palestine.

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

More fossil fuel emissions approved in Australia:😱 “The Barossa Gas Project is subject to the Albanese Government’s strengthened safeguard mechanism, which requires major emitters to reduce or offset their emissions.. ... in line with net zero by 2050 targets,” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In the perfect analogy of the Coalition's governing style, the vehicle arrived unannounced, massively inconvenienced everyone, broke a whole heap of shit and then left.

Jane Hume grilled on what her party will cut to pay for their last min $21Bill Defence package. James Glenday warns that “hundreds of thousands of ppl have started voting already!”💥 Hume admits she has no idea when they’ll release costs, but happy to leave voters in the dark🙄

Oh no, I'm out of milk. Better wait for Dutton to deport everybody before I drag my scared white butt to the shops. Holy shit I wish this guy would fuck off.

Cliev is a whinging crybaby, ToP messed up their HTV and now claiming they've been "hacked" #twat www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🔴 Australia has just approved another massive new gas export project. The Barossa offshore gas project, operated by gas giant Santos, was today approved by NOPSEMA. Barossa is one of the most polluting gas projects under development in Aus and will pay no royalties on the gas it extracts. #auspol

Dave Allen for Pope

Yep, I also equate a red hat to a swastika.

LNP Kooyong candidate Hamer: I’m a renter I relate to how tough it is. Also Hamer: Now others raise it, I also own 2 investment properties. Hamer again: Yeh, also recipient of $20mill family trust. Hamer finally: “It’s really, really tough being a landlord” FMD🤣 #Auspol #PutLNPLast

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, vexed by polls suggesting he's hated by Aussie women, wants to remind voters he 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 from a woman. ⤵️ “If women don’t like me, then why does one always let me use her jet?” he asked. More from those sassy sausages at The Chaser: tinyurl.com/Gina-Dutton25

One of the most self-evidently specious legal arguments we've ever seen. Essentially the argument is "your copyright work has no value to us, which is why we stole it instead of buying it." Equally good defence for shoplifters.

Peter Dutton, who reportedly made $30 million off 26 property transactions over 35 years*, wants us to believe his son is locked out of the property market. Doesn't pass the pub test, does it? Here's the Betoota Advocate with it's uniquely pithy take: #auspol #election25 tinyurl.com/dutton-son

I guess the lesson here is never pretend to be someone you're not, especially when you're a trust fund/nepo baby www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Dutton is a mistake prone thug with zero policies or personality www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Zempilas is using his boss's pamphlet again. He cannot do anything without Kerry Stokes' permission www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

As Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton repeatedly argued in court against providing life-saving medical care to lawful refugees and asylum seekers in Australia's care. Here's a list of just some of the lives he tried to subject to negligent care in 2018 alone. A significant trigger warning here.

#Gaza has become a "mass grave." Palestinians and humanitarian workers are enduring extreme suffering as Israeli forces escalate their offensive. We urge Israeli authorities to end the siege on Gaza, protect Palestinians, humanitarian and medical staff and uphold the ceasefire.
