This is America

Senior Israeli officials on Monday publicly advocated for a permanent occupation of the Gaza Strip, defying a US-backed plan that explicitly rules out Israel’s military presence or annexation of the territory, Anadolu reports. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260112-isr...

PALANTIR IS EMBEDDED IN THE UK ARMY. Great move Starmer 😡 "Why is embedding Peter Thiel’s Palantir in the British army, navy & airforce a national security disaster? Well consider what happens when you ‘buy’ a Tesla. You’re actually just renting the software. That can be turned off at any time."

A simple fix for what ails this world atm, get rid of the cancerous Murdoch media empire, its minions and its subservient reporters (they're not "journalists" since their unfettered lies were allowed to flourish) and the brainwashing of the mentally feeble, the uneducated and the gullible will cease

Israel prepares to continue their ethnic cleansing of Gaza, unaffected or impeded by ANY global intervention.

#auspol The strength of response by fair minded Australians who do not accept Israeli determination over our lives, our cultural development has been so strong it is causing political problems for those supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians. We will NEVER accept Israeli lies, interference 1/2

A shaken Rupert Murdoch arrives at Sky to discuss the Wilcox email

When Zionists are done purging free thinkers from Australian public culture, we'll be left with the most moronic, pathetic, racist, humourless, cowardly bootlicking stooges and little else. So yeah...... I guess it won't be that different after all.

What is the end game here? No publicly funded cultural events that aren’t approved by Israel? No arts boards that aren’t pro-Israel? The sections of our political class and media who are active in this attempted gutting of our cultural landscape need to ask wtf they are doing here.

If someone was brave enough or technically smart enough, to release photos of Trump with the young girls, the photos described by the author Michael Wolff… Trump would be forced to resign immediately! Until then let’s share what we can

One thing about Trump's military aggression not reported on - what has happened to nuclear non-proliferation. Will any country, ally, former ally, not seek purchase, development of nuclear weapons and indeed, longer range conventional armaments purely bc of Trump and the GOP.

I really love her, I wish she didn't have to go. I also hope she has found heaven.🥹

#US #USPolitics Remember State and local Police forces all had "Protect and Serve" as their motto, their mission statement. They forgot Protect and Serve means the community and not themselves and the Right Wing predatory, rapine forces turning 2/3 of the American population into rentier Serfs.

#ICE #US #Minnesota This is how the MAGA RW argue the death of Renee Good. Callous, lying creeps. This is what the Trump crowd show themselves to be. chicagoboyz.net/archives/758...

#Arsenal Hat trick to Martinelli. Well done lad.

@canberraartemis.bsky.social From the memories. Rilke, Cretan Artemis The only thing unpleasant about Crete are its mad drivers. Apart from that, it's a magical place.

#auspol The Guardian Australia has retracted the post below. It should be utterly ashamed of its initial perspective. It must offer an apology to Dr Abdel-Fattah. Fuck The Guardian's attitude.

Australia’s grid just passed a brutal heatwave stress test. Jan 7, 2026 hit record demand, yet solar surged at peak, batteries carried the evening, and reliability beat 2019. Not more fossil fuels — clean energy scaled. This is modern resilience, and a sign of what’s coming. 🔋⚡ #Solar #BESS #Energy

The Guardian, in lockstep with the rest of the media. Their article suggesting internal Labor dissent relies on a pic and quotes from Nova Peris, fails to mention she's a strident Zionist. All the people referenced are "former" (just like the BCA 'open letter'). The Guardian - captured #auspol

#auspol No fair minded Australian, no honest individual, will ever look at Susan Ley and Andrew Hastie as anything but opportunists exploiting the deaths of innocent people for political gain. A political gain that did nothing to provide safety for the benefit of all Australians. They remain tools.

‘Netanyahu’s abiding fear is not that peace can never be achieved but that it might be.’ Jacqueline Rose on Netanyahu, the genocide in Gaza, and the crisis in Israel: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

#TrentTelenko threadreaderapp.com/thread/20083... No condemnation of Trump. Why doesn't Telenko believe the US would have achieved everything it sought through normal channels via negotiation as it is in both the US & EU interests? TT bc of his RW bias doesn't accept Trump is a Russian asset.

Israel has dropped more than 200,000 tons of explosives - this means that Israel has dropped ~100 kilograms of explosives on Gaza for every man, woman, and child. Each red dot shows a bombed place in Gaza. (UN Satellite Centre, July 6th 2024) This is what genocide looks like.

#auspol The most fundamental fact about the Israel/Palestine debate is this. If supporters of Palestine told a lie, a deceit, dissembled against Israel, they would be prosecuted. So why are Palestinian voices discriminated against when they speak truths about Israel? Bc pro-Israeli's fear truth.

Oscar Winner Javier Bardem Stands Firm on Palestine: “It’s That Easy” “I will not work with anyone supporting Israel’s Genocide in Gaza... Me not getting a job is irrelevant to what's going on there. It’s that easy.”

Aware he had no legal right to influence the line up for an arts festival, went ahead and did it anyway. Turned what should have been an intellectually stimulating and entertaining festival into a political shitstorm.

#US #MAGA #USPolitics Suggest you review the articles and comments from those in the RW leaning Chicago Boyz website. Stupidity, perfidy, a thuggery and self-denial of normative values underpin their perspective. The US has very limited hope. chicagoboyz.net

#auspol Kangaroo Court believes two Jewish men are behind Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's banning. If true, why aren't Australians protected from discrimination? If it is these two lawyers against Dr Abdel-Fattah, why? To prevent honest truths about Israel? Anything a lie would be subject to prosecution.

#US #USA #USPolitics Remember US Police forces had 'Protect and Serve' as their motto, as a mission statement. They purposely forgot Protect and Serve means the community and not themselves with the Right Wing predatory, rapine forces turning 2/3 of the American population into rentier serfs.

Best of 2025: The economic security and dignity of older women in retirement is not just a women’s issue – it is a test of our national values and our commitment to a fair go. We must ensure that every woman can look forward to a secure and dignified retirement. #uspol #women #retirement

#auspol Australians of the Left for Palestinian justice. There's a lot more Israel is doing. Is it an apology for other countries as equally unpalatable. Apols via FB. www.facebook.com/reel/1441510...

#auspol That's why the LNP and large FF corporations pay for think tanks to rig not the system, but the whole of our society. If $15 billion in subsidies are 'legitimately' given to FF firms when they're the most profitable businesses in the world, farking you over to get more is just a formality.

Of course all paid with the taxes of Australians as you allow the fossil-fuel industry to pay NOTHING towards the ever-increasing climate disasters caused by their emissions. You are even quite happy to contribute to the $15 Billion in fossil-fuel subsidies given away every year. #auspol

Works for me. 👍

Trump and big oil spell the death of American manufacturing. The costs to GM & Ford of over USD$26 billion written off may please oil companies taming US car production but all its really done is give Chinese manufacturers a better ability to defeat US EV production initiatives in the medium run.

GOP senators threaten to impeach judges who rule against Trump The GOP ratcheted up their criticism of — and pressure on — the federal judiciary Wednesday, arguing at a Senate Judiciary Committee panel that some of the judges who have ruled against Trump’s administration deserve to be impeached.

If the claim made Trump is a Russian asset then one would expect the oil price to rise so RU is able to better fund its war. However, Venezuelan supply or restriction of it can lower or increase price. Evidently, US firms also control supply and gain from higher price. Will the US manipulate the 1/2

Why doesn't Trump just make the allegory really obvious and invade Poland next?
