Is it 1981?

What I find most vomitous about Minns' & Albo's sycophancy towards Israel, is both men KNOW the facts of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, its expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank, attacks in East Jerusalem, and its attacks on other nations. 😠 #nswpol #auspol #IsraelTerrorState

A 69yo woman: 4 broken vertebrae after being knocked to the ground by an officer at the Herzog protest in Sydney Monday night. The ABC News report re this incident says: "Some protesters felt police actions were disproportionate." Srsly 🙄 #auspol #HerzogNotWelcome www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Gina is pouring money into One Nation so she now totally owns a political Party that will do her bidding with no push back. Hopefully Clive has shown how that ends. But they can still do a lot of damage to & undermine genuine politicians & political parties. They want to shift politics & issues

Remember Gina's family has legally stolen 43,000 million dollars from this country, mainly first nation people and has power beyond any other person in the country. Then the media hail her as a great business woman. What's the problem with Australia, money in politics and news media.

No Business CEOs or sports stars see any desire to demand a #RoyalCommission into the #InvasionDay Terrorist incident?

Honestly, a quick email to your MP (contact details here) is easy. You can be direct and heartfelt without being rude. #AusPol #Herzog #genocide

Senator Thorpe is spot on. The government needs to expand the Bondi Royal Commission to cover all forms of racism and hate. "The attempted bombing of First Peoples on Invasion Day shows how urgent this is. No one is safe until we are all safe from racial hatred.” #AnotherDayInTheColony #AusPol

Unfollow bands, celebrities + influencers who profit from you -> yet stay silent about PHONy people. If they don't care about our future, we don't need to waste time & $ caring about their success, income nor profits. Unfollow. Block. Delete. Boycott. Enact a wall of silence. #EndPHONycrap #auspol

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICE at the Olympics *The Olympics are supposed to be about athletes. *ICE showing up turns it into something else entirely. *Families, immigrants, visitors…now wondering who’s watching them instead of the games. *”Security” keeps expanding. Rights keep shrinking.

So funny that #FIFA thinks international visitors are interested in going to games in the US, ESPECIALLY after ICE murdered another US citizen. "World Cup war games: How the U.S. is clamping down on security as FIFA comes to town " share.google/4jX1JqKrzhhF...

#FIFA #AFC (Asia), #CAF (Africa), #CONCACAF (North/Central America), #CONMEBOL (South America), #OFC (Oceania), and #UEFA (Europe). Today in Minneapolis #ICE murdered nurse, Alex Pretti.

Nobody in their right mind should come to the US right now. That assclown bootlicker #FIFA guy needs to move matches out of the US if he wants any damn money out of this (since all these clowns are money-driven). Also, move the Olympics out of the US.

It is no longer SAFE to have the World Cup in the USA. Attendees and Players could very well be placed in dangerous situations #FIFA should be ashamed of themselves for even giving Trump that bullshit award

Buy necessities only. Buy from small, local businesses for anything else. Stop supporting corporations including the NBA, WNBA, FIFA, NFL, AFL, NHL, NSL, etc. Seriously. How many deaths and kidnapping do you need before you realize the money is all connected?! #nba #nhl #nfl #fifa #boycott

Drumpf’s buffoonery is on the verge of costing the United States billions in tourism, hospitality, airline, and hotel revenue. More than 80 international matches scheduled to take place on U.S. soil now risk being shifted to Mexico and Canada. @mls.bsky.social youtu.be/DfhYPhhDuGc?...

It’s not safe here. Cancel the World Cup and Olympics or move them both to Canada or Australia.

Video shows Palestinian children crying in fear as their school bus is chased by Israeli settlers in an off-road vehicle in the occupied West Bank, where settlers regularly attack Palestinian civilians and property.

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

The disrespectful POTUS comment, about our front-line NATO troops (condemned by some). You'd think that's a comment too far for #FIFA?! Sports can't keep being a non-partisan element across our world. It's a BS claim. Armed Forces don't say "oh you're a sportsperson, I won't protect you!" #auspol

This is darkly funny. But part of the problem with Donald Trump is that this is how people have dealt with him for the past 75-plus years. Long story short (and friends in Europe, please take note): This approach DOES NOT WORK.

I am also reminded by these graphs that the Norwegian word for a non-electric car is "fossil car". Perhaps we should all adopt that term, now that the short form acronym for Internal Combustion Engine is so strongly associated with something far more sinister.
