You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Fair use.

Trump's name is redacted from files that we know previously contained it...

As long as I live I will never accept the Zionist definition of antisemitism that is being pushed on us. Israel is a state, like every other country is a state

I find it sooooooooooo weird people are upset "Albo" was booed, and not that his government is eroding our democratic rights to appease the extremist genocidaires that booed him. Big picture. Focus on our democracy and rights, not the pride/image of an individual politician.

Truly pathetic. The type of performance that has your colleagues start doing the numbers. Not just stupid, but stupid politics - gives Albanese an easy chance to show himself as a leader and take the high road. Most voters don't even know who Ley is. So this will be their first impression

What do we want? - "Social cohesion!" When do we want it? - "Just after we finish booing our political opponents at a memorial service!" That one might need a bit more work.

Dear Media. A Royal Commission is not a way of showing how seriously an issue is being treated. A Royal Commission is only needed when witnesses or documents need to be compelled. Who are you accusing of evading a normal inquiry?

Yes, let's hear about gun laws from the person who thinks Port Arthur might have been a false flag op.

The lie at the heart of the effort to ghoulishly exploit a tragedy to criminalise dissent against genocide.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Israel must be brittle and weak. If they're trying to make it so it's illegal to criticise and protest a genocidal apartheid state in distant colonies far away, that must mean Israel is extremely vulnerable to the truth. And the establishment is choosing fascism to deal with it.

The Australian ALP is right now changing the law to stop you, a decent human being who values human life, being able to protest against this sort of thing ever again, and to redefine "anti-semitism" to stop you even talking about it.

Just try to contemplate that those who marched in protest of such murders occurring (in much greater numbers) are now being blamed by the Liberal Party for the Bondi Massacre.

‘Bipartisanship’ usually means ‘the other side need to do exactly what *we* want’.

Chris Minns considers reporting and objecting to such crimes "anti-semitism" and is trying to make that the law.

Morrison gets a small tick for embracing baldness, but a massive minus for that open-shirt/jacket/pants combo.

Who is 'we'? Doesn't 'we' include every citizen in Australia? The First Peoples? The Alliance of Australian Muslims? The Jewish Council of Australia? Women? The Rationalists Society? The Greens? Or do you mean only you & yours in the ECAJ? Reminder: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

fiercely eloquent critique of Minns pro-Israel misinformation campaign and racist legislative overreach. michaelwest.com.au/minns-protes...

Terrible look Sussan Ley, absolutely appalling for someone who thinks she could lead Australia. Australians do not want to be led by someone who cannot control their emotions and seems be totally out of control #auspol

Petition: We will not be divided after Bondi. Add your name: jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

Quite a few people in the opposition and media forgetting just how fragile is a civil society.

Not sure what happened but the Guardian is now at least *mentioning* that there is zero evidence to suggest the Bondi terror attack was the direct result of organised opposition to mass murder www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

No issue with banning incitement of hatred against marginalised groups - Jewish people, LGBTI people, immigrants. But you're not doing that. You're banning protests against war crimes carried out by a foreign govt. The former is necessary. The latter is a bad faith authoritarian power grab.

Another thing evident from the last week is the way that much of the media is willing (even enthusiastic) to push a fascist project

"Equating the hundreds of thousands of people who have protested for a stronger stand against a genocide...with supporting a massacre is just as insane as using the massacre for political point-scoring & to set up a fight about migration" @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/massacre-a...

95% of Australian political media coverage is a demand for a dog and pony show. Something happened, we expect you to respond this way, why aren't you responding the way we expect, oh my god, you are now under pressure to respond the way we expect!

After seeing Ley’s atrocious rant today, it is as well to remember this is the party John Howard destroyed projecting internal division out into the world. It’s ugly and dangerous, aided and abetted by an equally broken media, but it isn’t winning them any friends.

The Coalition has mistaken the unity it has found as a party and like minded political bedfellows over its response for actual unity. Its feverish rhetoric comes from the brief cohesiveness it’s discovered after so many fractures, rather than an organic groundswell. It also will not hold.

Sussan Ley is clearly so far out of her depth that she deserves to be sacked by her party, purely for her own good. This is perhaps the most contemptible thing any political leader has ever said in this country. The sooner she f*cks off to obscurity the better for Australia.

Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response. Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

It was only ever about shutting down protests

It's like the booing of the Welcome to Country ceremony at the Shrine on ANZAC Day, totally organic, not connected to any political movement at all.

But the headlines said Albanese 'was booed' we can't possibly know by whom! /s

Part of the issue here is a bunch of far right groups pretending to speak for Jewish people. They *want* to tie ordinary Jewish people to the obscenities by their mates in Netanyahu's regime. Which is the opposite of reducing anti-semitism.

The treatment of the hunger strikers by the British state is truly barbarous they've been convicted of no crime, are being held w/o trial, & have been on remand for over twice the remand custody limit they've been subject to degrading & humiliating treatment, & are now in a critical state

Reverse Poe's law - any sincere expression of extreme views can be mistaken for a parodic or sarcastic expression of those views.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Users need to revolt against what will very likely be an even more widespread effort to censor voices critical of Israel.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

If you're in NSW it's pretty vital that you make sure your local state MP knows how obscene and dangerous these proposed new anti-protest laws are and how quick you'll be to put them last if they vote for them. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

i'm not here to proselytize bluesky, but any politician (at least dems) or big-brand journalist who doesn't expand their shit beyond a musk controlled sites is being lazy.

At a minimum every reporter and democratic politician should be posting the same thing here that they post on X. Build up a following then quit X.

boycotting Musk’s web site is the easiest collective action problem we could have asked for. Our failure has convinced me we’re no match for the hard ones.

It really gets under my skin when people justify remaining on Twitter by saying, "I was there before Musk owned it." Okay?? But here owns it now and I'm pretty sure your seniority doesn't overrule any decisions he makes, so what point are you making other than "I don't want to change anything"?
