Just realized it was Akinola Davies Jr., who is Black, who said "Free Palestine" at the BAFTAs. So, the BBC will censor a Black man for saying something that is not violent, while also refusing to censor something that is quite violent to Black men.

Well that's a surprise... not.

Southeast Asia is the key to our national security and prosperity. If China dominates the region, as it plans to, Australia will be very vulnerable. So why are we following an American strategy that isolates and alienates us from our neighbours? (out March 16th)

Any Snatch fans out here? (The movie that is... jeez, get yer head out the gutter...) This is hilarious.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

The last 30 years alone have proven that democracy and captialism, as peddled by the West, in particular the US, UK and Australia, are mere cons. Ponzi schemes protecting and protected by the corps and billionaire class. What's the alternative? Not sure, but we the unwealthy need something else.

How can the US with the largest navy in the world have just 2 hospital ships and neither of them are functioning.

The next C-SPAN caller was on point too. Chester in Baton Rouge: The elephant in the room still is that, the two sex offenders on the Supreme Court is gonna go along with the sex offender in the White House.

Hilarious 😂

Look through this site. Companies such as Palantir and Anduril are dehumanising war, so that the general populace loves it (not just the rich). Machines = less humans, less injuries, less deaths, right? The problem is, that doesn't make war any less horrific. War ALWAYS has casualties.

Honestly and truly I don't think Donald Trump understands that. I think it's true that he does not understand how any aspect of government actually works. Sometimes - hell, often times - the answer genuinely is "because Donald Trump is incredibly, visciously stupid".

Hearings kick off next week and the Israel lobby will be glad" that G&T has been picked to deliver legal services to the Bondi Royal Commission. #auspol #whatsthescam michaelwest.com.au/israel-lobby...

😂

The Virginia subs will never arrive. Their "delivery" is a ruse to get Aussie taxpayers to write cheques. Too bad for the Royal Australian Navy. #auspol "AUKUS is an industrial expansion pact. Australian funding flows into U.S. shipyard infrastructure now - not pledged for later, flowing now."

House Speaker Mike Johnson has denied a request for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to lie in honor at the United States Capitol, citing past precedent over how the deaths of other high-profile figures were handled, according to sources familiar with the matter. https://cnn.it/4aZJgn8

Pentagon threatens to classify Anthropic as a supply chain risk: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly "close" to severing ties with Anthropic and designating the company a "supply chain risk" - a penalty typically reserved for foreign adversaries. (Times of India, via Superhuman.AI)

In a democracy things would happen because the majority of people want them to happen. What we have is a Plutocracy a worldwide Government of the wealthy where things only happen because it makes them richer What pretend voting system they stick on top of it makes no difference

This! Told friends that the CIA was behind the Whitlam govt sacking and they looked at me like I was mad. There is a super interesting ABC podcast on the subject. Apparently Jimmy Carter sent someone to apologize to Whitlam and promise the US would never interfere in Aus elections again.

Even the Libs aren't all enamored with the Angus at the helm. “Everything Angus touches turns to shit,” a Liberal colleague tells The Saturday Paper. 🤣

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Yesterday's Bondi performance tells me this is absolutely true! Her refusal to even glance at the #Epstein victims was the tell.

Do not ever, ever believe companies like Google or Meta when they say they will protect your data. Ever.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG: “I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.” The ad aged. The internet remembers.

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.” “No,” her husband said. I urge you to read this today.

A Melbourne woman who has lost 162 members of her family in the Gaza genocide has filed charges against Israeli President Isasc Herzog in a Victorian court www.deepcutnews.com/p/melbourne-...

How unsurprising. In the 90s NSW cops had one of the worst ever corruption scandals in the history of any police force globally. They were thugs and crooks back then. It was so bad they even brought in a cop from a different country to solve the problem (Peter Ryan RIP). Seems nothing changed.

A disturbing statement from former prime minister Tony Abbott. It is hard to see how statements such as these contribute positively to social cohesion.

Please tell us again how protesters against a visiting war criminal are the threat to “social cohesion”… Note that free-to-air radio gave neoliberal think tanks minutes to spruik their “free enterprise” messaging in the era when Atlas Network partners were turning 🇦🇺 economy American.

"Social cohesion is a scam, a strategy employed by the powerful to delegitimise and suppress the voices of the less powerful... If you are othered by powerful groups, you become the victim of cohesion, not the beneficiary; what you get from social cohesion is a punch from an armed official."

(Vid includes slowed down section) Man in light coloured shirt, hands up or by his side as multiple police pull at lanyard around his neck &/or repeatedly punch him. Police brutality? Or just utter fucked up misconduct and is a civil rights violation? #Auspol #HerzogNotWelcome #PoliceBrutality

The US is actively trying to get out of AUKUS. Of course only the people who were already making money from this deal would be very sad at this turn of events. But surely this means the deal is dead in the water? And will we the Aus taxpayers be getting refunds of the billions paid thus far?

This man was arrested in Australia today for being an ‘agitator’ for yelling ‘shame’ at a passing Israel President Herzog, on the basis it ‘incited fear’ - FFS! This is totally fucked, our draconian & worsening anti-protest laws are what’s shameful. #Auspol #FreePalestine #HerzogNotWelcome ✊🪧✌️💜

Witnessed many right wing accounts & media, not only Not coming out against the gov's stronger anti-protest laws, reductions in freedom, police overreach and brutality, but openly supporting it. Their double standard, bigotry is seen. #Auspol #HerzogNotWelcome

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

5/ NSW Police calmly directing a large crowd of people along Bathurst Street, Sydney.

4/ With the authority of the NSW Supreme Court, NSW Police instruct the NSW Public on the precise meaning of the term 'Social Cohesion'; a lesson which will no doubt be repeated as often as necessary throughout the week while the NSW Government shelters an alleged war criminal.

3/ Looks like somebody's gonna get charged with assaulting a police officer, as Labor MP Anthony D’Adam reckons he saw police throw somebody to the ground & be punched by them repeatedly:
