Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Sometimes we think help needs to be big — but here, even $5 can change everything. $5 can mean food, medicine, warmth, or relief for this sweet little girl. If you can give, even a small amount, you become part of her chance to survive. Together, small kindness can create a life-saving impact.

Forgot to update this but he eventually got hold of my phone number. I think it was my out of office? Turns out he's a septuagenarian stoner who moved to Thailand for the legal weed and hates real estate agents. Judge not lest ye be judged.

Thinking about that Chinese evangelical who believes Trump was sent by God to bring down America

If Trump can do that to Maduro, where does it stop? With who?

So the Vice President of Venezuela - Acting President Delcy Rodríguez - has called all the nation into the streets in protest

"When will the international community take us seriously" "That's the neat part, they won't"

As much as I think this is good policy, imo the real politik is that Australians are too aligned with the political project of whiteness to stomach abandoning the US-Aus alliance

The US has trashed the "rules based order", or whatever it's called, and they will continue to do so to enrich its capitalist ruling class, and we will continue to aid and abet them 🙂 but Australian journalists can't tell you that otherwise they will lose access 🙂

Getting labelled as antisemitic by the Israeli government for IP blocking the entire country on qbittorrent

I unironically love these looks into a totally alien mind

You know what, I’m feeling marginally less flippant about this insanity now that I know I’m on a list in a dossier prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs as a “key influencer” of antisemitism. This is munted.

“asked chat gpt" well did it tell you i am going to kill you

The Australian media is just not equipped to deal with the creeping fascism in our lives. Every major publication's editorial direction barely deviates from government policy in any meaningful way.

Oh shit the climate crisis is already here

You couldn't waterboard this out of me etc

What Australian outlets edited out of the opening of Kerry O'Brien's Walkley Awards speech on press freedom: (The full speech is here: www.walkleys.com/dont-kid-you...)

Happy 50th anniversary of the day Australia came fully under the US' imperial control

Finally, the way is clear for me to be Australia's favourite Caboolturien

A Melbourne renter says her magistrate landlord left her without a safe bathroom for a month, and when asked where she and her family would bathe was told by her property manager to use bathrooms in public facilities like pools and the library www.smh.com.au/property/new...

Can someone who paid attention to twitter for the past two years tell me if it's white supremacy or toxic masculinity's fault I got sick because some white dude with a chest infection didn't wear a mask on the plane

This went about as well as when I told it in front of my gf's whole family (no one laughed)

Drake when there's biting insects out: I needa long pants

Aussie Cricket legend Usman Khawaja tells SEN to stick it following the Radio Station’s pandering to the Israel lobby by sacking their own journalist Peter Lalor bcoz he dared to support innocent Palestinian civilians being slaughtered by Israel in Gaza. #auspol

I'm not convinced this would actually get you fired in Australia

The @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social ruling got me like:

There's this landlord who constantly cc's me in on his long-running fight with his property managers, CAV, the REIV, et al and now I think he's asking for legal advice and he wants to pay me?

Real heads will remember the original get Jim reverified campaign

I still hold the view that they're closer in their class interests to non-propertied people than the capitalist class by virtue of being highly leveraged and at risk of losing their property if they lose their income, yes

We're gonna be winning so much everyone will be tired of winning

My father has always been incredibly and inexplicably anti-american and I'm happy to report he is feeling very vindicated right now

As far as I am aware this is the first time I've been read into Hansard (hooray) but unfortunately the treasurer got my workplace wrong (boo, hiss)

Crazy that at this point I think I would feel safer taking a plane in Madagascar (ranked 134th for nominal GDP) than the US (ranked 1st)

This, but with full offence

Folks, it's so over. It's getting more over every day

Any survivor heads on here? Thoughts on Kent?

I can't be the only one who finds Walton Goggins kinda ... Distracting to look at

Incredible that Sam Kerr's legal team was able to prove to a very high standard that it's not racist to call a police officer stupid and white

Just remembered I messaged my butcher dad at midnight

This is nearly 20 hours. I looked up this day in Google Maps and the only thing I did that day was leave the house to buy KFC.

Libsoftiktok account nuked by Bluesky moderation when that account had special privileges on Twitter even before Elon. You love to see it.

Do you think Paris Hilton has seen The Gods Must Be Crazy

We’ve got a family of new holland honeyeaters and they just had a pool party

We did a deep dive in to this recently: www.tenants.org.au/blog/mortgag...

Every day this week I've had a report land in my inbox which shows how housing is completely cooked in all sorts of different ways. And this is apparently a priority?

It’s 5am and I can’t sleep so here’s some more #melbourne #streetart from my photo album This one is in Collingwood
