🇨🇦 🧵A big warm welcome to all the lovely Canadians jumping on the Atlas Network train. #NZpol has led the way with the Aus academic @jeremywalker.bsky.social showing the history that got them a “think” tank operative as Dep PM. George Monbiot says “junktanks”👌 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never believe anyone saying sport & politics should stay separate. Sport is politics! Iran’s women’s team will be punished when they go home or their families punished if they seek asylum. The regime sought the good PR by having a team but control the population by fear. FIFA must step in.

Fox News uses old clip of Trump after he wore hat while saluting slain US soldiers

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Markets are reacting now that it’s clear this war is no flash in the pan and that as each day passes, it’s clear the Administration has no fucking clue what it is doing.

Note that the man antisemitism envoy Segal picked for her uni review is linked to Atlas Network partner the Centre for Independent Studies (with his brother Peter at the IPA). How much is the broadly AJA project integrated into 🇦🇺 Atlas partner ops? www.cis.org.au/person/greg-... #Auspol

Israel are really proving to be very grubby people in war. The latest act with The IDF targeting and killing UN peace keepers in South Lebanon.

Yesterday, the far-right Israeli Finance Minister threatened the southern suburbs of Beirut with the same fate of destruction as the Khan Younis neighbourhood in the Gaza Strip

A scarier aspect of the war on Iran is that it is being run by the Dunning Kruger 🤡brigade who believe themselves to be the epitome of genetic superiority’s dictate that 💰white men are categorically better. Their predecessors made 🤯 stupid interventions with catastrophic consequences despite 👨‍🎓 😵‍💫

🧵🚨The moneyed classes have been most effective for a century at imposing their goals & worldviews on us ever since the science of propaganda took off in WW1. This sign of what Advance has planned for🇦🇺 must be immunised against by seeing it coming. theshot.net.au/uncategorize... #Auspol

This is an excellent & accessible summary. Please share with your circles. #auspol

MAGA is finally ditching the Trump Regime. People like Alex Jones & Nick Fuentes are furious Trump has hidden the Epstein files & is starting WW3. Wait until they hear the Iran war is expected to go until September & oil prices are going from $65 a barrel to $150 a barrel. All to help Israel.

This account of the bashing death of a young white supremacist antisemite in France makes it sound like it was only v bad luck for him that he was the one to die when heavily equipped Neo Nazis attacked leftists in street clothes. Right is using it to discredit Left. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

Man with a Plan for Iran- my #Trump cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have only just recently started digging into data centres and water, and the way companies are hiding vital information is beyond belief. It is so, so dodgy. The entire project to widely popularise the idea these concerns are "fake" makes so much sense in this context

Ken Paxton Wants to Implement Texas’ Abortion Ban…in Europe After losing multiple attempts to sue a New York–based doctor, the anti-abortion AG is now going after providers in Austria and the Netherlands. www.jezebel.com/ken-paxton-wan…

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Typical rightwing hypocrisy. They think we don't notice #auspol

This is a classic of the cynicism of Atlas Network partner operatives’ thinking. They say that all spending must stop. Except for torrents for their industries, including weapons. 🙄 When one doesn’t believe government is good for anything but removing obstacles to the donors’ power and profit ⬇️

Every time I see one of these polls I'm amazed that well over a third of Americans still think Trump is doing a good job.

No to war”: Spanish PM pushes back against Trump pressure

The Australian city of Adelaide is the centre of another free speech and literary festival row, this time pertaining to the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories

Soldiers from the US military were allegedly told that President Donald Trump was "anointed by Jesus" and that Washington's attack on Iran was "all part of God's divine plan":

And that’s only if the war wraps up in under two months.

Israeli Knesset member Limor Son-Har Melich - who belongs to Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit ("Jewish Power"), a far-right and anti-Arab party - was photographed for the Jewish holiday of Purim where she is disguised an executioner of Palestinians by hanging or injection. (Pictured on the left)

I’m high on believin

From Niki Savva: “From now on and particularly in the budget on May 12, the Albanese government’s motto should be “use it or lose it”. There is no point having a whopping majority only to shrink from using the power it delivers.” 💯💪🏼 www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The Onion

(Half-off Howard and Cut-Price Costello seem apt for Taylor and Wilson. The Liberals have the leadership they deserve 🙃)

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue." Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.

Lol, US military commanders are telling their troops they're on a "spiritual mission" to bring about "Armageddon", and the Zionists have been using their old religious books to justify bombing kids in EIGHT fkn countries, and our media is like "IRAN IS AN UNHINGED THEOCRACY"

WA Police have seized more than 4000 firearms since changes. They came from gang members, FDV perpetrators, sovereign citizens & those convicted of crime. It appears the online radicalisation of Jayson Jospeh Michaels happened relatively quickly. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Meet the new Ayatollah Khamenei, Just like the old Ayatollah Khamenei. Top stuff, everyone.

The most Trumpy track ever. Iran is not going to come out of this any better, just bombed. The regime will be mad and the people Trump pretended he was going to support will be mad. I hope I’m completely wrong and Iran and its people come out of this without this rotten ruling cabal, but, yeah.

Wilson has forged an extremely successful career whilst not being asked to provide even a basic level of competence in any of the roles he has secured. A hero of our age.

How do billionaires manage to accumulate such obscene wealth? Because of this 👇 The mega rich simply buy political parties and policy outcomes to entrench their power and status while wages fall and life for millions of Australians gets harder. It's time we taxed them.

Well, something's very clear to everyone
