Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

Seeing the adverts for "StandUpToHate" with Kyle Sandilands being front and centre really was an insane choice that undermines the entire campaign

Happy Epstein Files Release Day to everyone who celebrates.

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

He has seen the Epstein Files in their entirety. Now he is fleeing before the shit hits the fan. #bonginobust

My response to anything over the next two weeks

The kids public primary school is 35ºC inside for the final assembly. Meanwhile the Federal Government has been pouring literally millions and millions into private school up the road so they can build a second music room. But not an extra cent for us.

Advance Australia- The Voice will result in unelected First Nations people determining government policy 😱 Also Advance Australia - our unelected Zionist Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism is determining government policy! 👍🏻 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

In the latest series of Who Do You Think You Are? Anthony Albanese is rocked by revelations that his past self grew up in public housing and supported radical left wing ideas like proper assistance for the poor. “I’d heard some rumours in the family, but I never suspected how terrible it was”

If you want to have fun, go back a read the speeches by Liberal MPs during the Racial Discrimination Act 18C debates eg "If we have the state regulating our speech, you also have the state regulating our thought, and I think that looks a lot like 1984". parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/sea...

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Support our journalism. Journalism disappears for lots of reasons, but not being able to afford it is certainly one of them theshot.net.au/support-us/

And can we have a Referendum on this? Cos The Voice was defeated by those decrying favouritism for one section of our community & the same are now clamouring for special treatment (I abhor racism & violence)

All you dorks in the press pack that are allowed near the man, ask the Prime Minister if reporting truthfully on the Gaza genocide will be illegal under Jillian Segal's recommendations.

"If I could ask one question of the Prime Minister right now, I would like to understand his definition of “hate preachers that promote violence”, because signing missiles that fall on children and hanging out with a genocidal army would absolutely fit the bill if he was of any other religion. "

It's been nearly a month and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday? Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Such an important piece. Save it. Sums up everything many of us are feeling. I’ve never been as disappointed in Australian media outlets as I am now. Especially the ABC.

"Latest list of new mine proposals reveals 97 new coal and gas projects are under development" #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/news/251219-...

I worked to 3am last night and then I still couldn't sleep. This is such a dangerous, dark moment. More of us need to see it clearly.

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

Here's @ronnisalt. "Don't look back in anger" theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Electoral laws passed by the duopoly earlier this year create an uneven playing field at elections, in their favour. They undermine your voting choice and our democracy. @zoedaniel.bsky.social and I are challenging the laws in the High Court. #unconstitutional #auspol

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

Why Aren’t We Hearing More About The Debt?!?

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

I now have to use a VPM for this website. I refuse to give my passport or photo. Fuck albo and fuck Labor

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

News.com.au Funny that David Wu was quite about RORTS during the #LNP YEARS GEEE I WONDER WHY?????? Meanwhile Barnaby seems real upset with perks Whilst forgetting his $600,000 text for water. Give me a break #Murdoch trash #labor #springst #auspol

Sure Murray Watt will be clapping his flippers at that news.

‘“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ has become the catch-cry of proud ‘centrists’ in Australia. But it’s time we admitted that the good has become the enemy of better.”

the reason they call going no contact with your parents “a trend” is the same reason they call transitioning “a trend” - they don’t believe their kids should have agency, even adult children. Anything their kids do that they don’t approve of could only happen bc of an evil corrupting external force

I was watching an Oprah special with my wife yesterday. And Oprah is so clearly out of touch too. She sounded like a person out of time. As though she walked right off her set from the '90s into now. It was jarring

No wonder Minister Murray Watt is 'huffing and puffing' to try to speed up passage of his propose environmental laws through the Senate - the longer and harder we look at the Bills, the more pitfalls and holes we see. 👇Take 'net gain' for example. 👇#auspol

Sad but true.

Albanese used to say "I like fighting Tories". Now he is one. #auspol

“We can’t afford it” or “we’ve chosen to protect wealth concentration rather than fund public housing.” It is all about choices writes @UrbanWronski #MMT #tax #auspol michaelwest.com.au/david-little...

The Earth could be a paradise for everyone, if not for psychopaths and greed.

OPINION @amyremeikis.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social govt seem to have no reformist zeal to speak of? Profoundly disappointing. So many urgent national challenges. Now is the time to spend their political capital. #auspol #democracy www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Sunday Shot starts at 9am! We're joined by @eddyjokovich.bsky.social and @drdemography.com, & an interview with Sean Kelly. Join us for a chat about the PM, the UN's colonisation or "peace" plan for Gaza, and the further disintegration of Western politics.

Seems #LABOR has forgotten its roots. Perhaps the tree needs more watering now that Labor has starved its Labor base #lnp #auspol #australia #forgottonRoots #treeOfKnowledge #greens #alp #springstreet

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

In the wake of Jacinta Allen suddenly flipping to appeal to the the "CRIME IS EVERYWEAR!!" crowd in a craven and disingenuous fashion, this thread is excellent.

Waleed Aly is making a strong late case for worst journalist of the year. Truly pathetic.
