How wd you react if foreign warships turned up off Sydney & demanded Australian govt terminate its program to acquire nuclear-powered submarines? It's somewhat analogous to Trump's forces virtually surrounding Iran & demanding it drop its nuclear research plans. Such rights can't be unilateral.

The wrong one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Curses on them all

Some US military actions since WWII. Korea - a truce, tense. Sth Vietnam - Communists won. Afghanistan - Taliban won finally. Iraq - left in a mess. Afghanistan revisited - US defeated by corruption. Israel/Palestine - US can't stop conflict, supplies arms. Ukraine/Russia - See Israel. Iran - ??

Trumps reckons he's stopped "8, maybe 9" wars but in fact hasn't personally stopped any. Killing continues in Gaza Strip, despite Trump's 'ceasefire', & illegal settlers run amok in West Bank. Despite months of efforts, Russia's war on Ukraine continues. Unspeakable warfare in Africa ignored.

The FBI interviewed one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims four times over her allegation that Donald Trump assaulted her when she was underage. and....

This is 💯% article for our times people. @richarddenniss.bsky.social / @australiainstitute.org.au ➡️'Millions of voters think the Labor, Liberal and Greens parties are doing a good job.' 🤯 www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/22639/...

Doing a deep dive into Epstein Australian connections #auspol I find this craaazy email, I'm thinking this must be breaking news wow, then I realize If I know all the journos must know...Indies and MSM and none of them are courageous🤬 What has happened to our Media? Does anybody want to know?

It will be in the interests of the major parties to listen to the messages the independents are being told by their electorates. #AusPol

The NT (Deep North) is cooked🤬

Of course being the nephew of the Attorney General has nothing to do with getting no jail sentence for killing an Aboriginal person and showing absolutely no remorse only further racism. None at all. They said so. 🤬

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... Spare me from Newscorp abc obsequious LNP apologists and their economic opinions When did Armstrong get her PhD in Economics ? Who was head of Dept ? Credlin? And why this pic of Albanese ? Hundreds to pick from and you have to pick this one

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

“I won *all* the swing states!” —Lyin’ Ceatin’ Donald

Joe Walsh is right. Trump is a pedophile who is being protected by Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Todd Blanch, and Republicans. We also know the FBI interviewed a victim four times over her allegation Trump assaulted her when she was underage, but it was scrubbed from the Epstein files.

I clearly see the Supreme Court's tariff case differently than legacy media. If you appreciate independent, news, information and analysis and want to support pro-democracy media, sign up for Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The mood of this country. 😳👇

It's about to explode y'all. Donald J. Trump, the sitting president of the United States, is a motherfucking pedophile — and it's being purposely covered up by AG Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Department of Justice. 😳👇

"For Bush to blithely insist that everything will work out just fine—that 250 years from now we’ll still have a liberal democracy—is an insult to everyone struggling against emergent fascism in this moment."

Lots of folks asking me who I’d like to vote for in 2028 and my answer reminds the same: it’s AOC. But I’ll vote for whichever Dem the primary voters choose as their candidate.

Kavanaugh wanted to uphold Trump's tariffs. To Trump, that makes him a "genius."

Oh snap!

When there is a new president, there will be accountability. If I was a member of this administration and knowingly breaking the law/constitution…. I’d be planning my safe harbor home oversees. Belarus or Russia would take ya

This one hits hard.

The number of workers represented by a union increased in 2025 to 16.5 million — the highest number in 16 years. That’s despite Trump’s corporate-backed war on workers. Remember: Trump wouldn’t be attacking unions if he wasn’t so afraid of workers’ collective power. Solidarity.

"To punish an officer for having served under a particular senior leader is to misunderstand the very nature of military service." It looks like that is what Hegseth is doing. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4roeU3t

It’s a very sad thing how Donald talks like a dull fifth/grader.

The pedophile führer's rigging of the 2026 midterm elections in Texas is in full swing. If the loathsome piece of shit denies American citizens the right to vote, it'll be time to go full 1789 France on his fascist ass. 😡😡😡👇

Afghanistan currently holds the largest population of oppressed and enslaved women on the planet, many of whom were abandoned by the international community after the Trump-Taliban negotiated defeat of the US occupation, the move betrayed all Afghan and foreign partners, empowering the Taliban.

At least a dozen civilians are reported to have been killed in the strikes, ranging from newborns to elders, and an unknown number of structures were hit. Afghanistan borders Iran, which is currently under threat of an illegal US invasion on behalf of Israel and is expecting strikes as well.

Pakistan's Air Force conducted multiple airstrikes across Afghanistan targeting Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP); other groups. Taliban sects have repeatedly attacked Pakistani border forces for months now. Unknown if Taliban in Kabul will retaliate, escalating this to a land war.

A Royal Reckoning. JonathanPie.com youtu.be/yiOvAgw4hwE?...

A brilliant article that everyone commenting about Iran should read. The Iranian government is not your friend, and never will be, unless you happen to be a clerico-fascist enthusiast of mass torture and mass murder. But weirdly, many in the West who claim to be on the left seem to support it.

There's a little known memorial about the Vietnamese people under the south pylon of Brisbane's Story Bridge dedicated to the loss of life & the triumph of those fleeing war. Ignore the haters. Vietnamese have made Queensland & Australia stronger. #qldpol www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que...

How can I thank the Scottish people enough for their contribution to the Australian NDIS? A Glaswegian care worker arrives a couple of times a week to look after my son. Initially hard for me with my stupid Australian ears to understand her accent but years later I got it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺

To the Philippines people, thank you so much for coming to help my son under the Australian NDIS. A beautiful & understanding people. We are forever united. 🇵🇭🇦🇺

To the people of Afghanistan who come to help my son through the Australian NDIS. I can never thank you enough for your support. You escaped a terrible war. In time & together we will be stronger nations. 🇦🇫🇦🇺

Did you know that Epstein had access to an Adoption Agency and a School photography company? Sick men were around this evil cabal.

I also would not describe it as a phenomenon. At all. I think a lot of woman that have been raped or sexual assaulted can attest to similar experiences

Trump thinks he's going to heaven when he's going to the 18th fairway

Abolishing by-elections is a terrible idea. Because of the high impact of personal votes in lower house seats it would allow for parties to run non-serious high profile candidates who would then quit and hand the seats to party hacks. archive.is/lM8sw #springst

Chris Cuomo was fired in 2021 for aiding his brother Andrew during a sexual harassment probe, using CNN resources to discredit accusers.

Also feelings change. Also love has different depths and stages.

Traditionally, yes. I think that's why Gisèle Pelicot's statement "shame must change sides" was so powerful.
