@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Steve Bannon discussed opposition strategies with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein against Pope Francis, with Bannon saying he hoped to “take down” the pontiff, according to newly released files from the US Department of Justice. https://cnn.it/4tH3r0O

Awful performance by Sydney in the final third, enough chances to win this, not to mention too many cheap turnovers. #SYDvADL

Shit surface claims Quintal!! NOT GOOD ENOUGH SFS!! #SYDvADL

WTF Sydney? How many times will you gift possession to Adelaide? This is pathetic play in midfield! #SYDvADL #ALeague #SydneyIsSkyBlue

Refreshing to see Lorna Dunkley on #WeekendBreakfast. Excellent partnership with Johanna. So good without Fauziah - a breath of fresh air. Take note #ABC Management. #Auspol

Barnaby Joyce or Angus Taylor? Same-same. #OneNation #LibSpill #Hypocrisy #Racism #Auspol

As Herzog left the country, did Chris Minns ask for his balls back? #Herzog #Auspol #Hypocrisy #WarCriminal #ZionismIsFascism

Strange that Abbott, Joyce and the usual phalange of RWFWs are all for free speech and individualism until someone says something they disagree with. #GraceTame #GlobaliseTheIntifada #Auspol #Herzog #WarCriminal

Herzog concedes he is a Zionist. Truth: Zionism = Fascism! #Israel #WarCriminal #WarCrimes #ABC730

Who is this pompous conservative deadshit on #ABC730? Illustration of the reason the Liberals are history. This private school bovver boy needs to join One Nation. #Auspol

For what it’s worth Canavan has been around so long, he’s become the archetypal Qld LNP politician, all hat no cattle.

Matt Canavan takes a swing at the RBA Governor, accusing her of gaslighting on the economy, but gets taken down.🔥 #auspol

Breaking: Angus endorses his favourite person.

Melissa Price says she doesn’t know how the Libs can recover from their crisis, & refers ABC’s Stephanie Borys to “Sky News” because “they seem to know more about what’s going on in the Liberal Party than we do.” 🤔 If MPs need Sky News to explain their next move, the party’s unsalvageable. #auspol

Oh how we’ll laugh. Can you imagine Tim Wilson as the Shadow Treasurer?

Can anyone point to public statements Taylor has made in the last 9 months to support his claim: "“I’ve sought to be a constructive member of the leadership team, supported Sussan Ley’s leadership in a difficult time when we needed a rebuild of the party."?

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Murray Watt schools Bridget McKenzie on gun reforms after she claims govt is “attacking law abiding firearm owners” Reminds of exemptions that apply to “sporting shooters, farmers, pest controllers” & calls her out after she “went around” saying they’d lose their access🔥 #auspol

Zali Steggall slams Laura Jayes’ interruptions after she links Tame’s comments with Bondi, calling out excessive force by police. Reminds Jayes that Palestinian Australians mourn too & you just “cannot disconnect” Israel’s actions with the fact Herzog is their President🔥 #auspol

Read executive officer, Sarah Schwartz's opinion piece in the Financial Review today about why Herzog doesn't represent Australian Jewry and shouldn't have been invited in the first place: www.afr.com/policy/forei...

When Isaac Herzog returns to Israel Chris Minns should ask for his balls back.

Herzog says demonstrations undermine his and Israel’s rights. There is no right to commit genocide. No right to slaughter civilians and children. No right to starve people. No right to breach international law. No right to use apartheid. No right to silence concerned Australians.

Lots of white, middle class boomers at the rally in Sydney- not the type who'd usually go to protests. A couple of women near me got someone to take a photo of them to send to their grandchildren "to make them proud"

“To me it seems H!tler has won. He’s changed us J€ws from being compassionate and caring…into this vicious, Genocidal, nationalist nation,” —Miriam Margolyes, an 84-year-old Jewish Australian-British actor publicly condemns Israelis

Grateful to have had the opportunity to be included in this ad from @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social in today's papers. However, really disappointing to not see names of other Jewish people I grew up with here, despite their alleged claims that they 'don't support what Netanyahu is doing'. 🤔 #auspol

Typically, #Herzog characterises those protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza as anti-Semitic! A lazy, disingenuous comment that vilifies Palestinians, while fomenting division and hate. Criticism of Israel's actions is not anti-Semitic. #Genocide #Israel #Gaza #Bondi

The Jewish community speaks:

Thanks to your support, our full-page ad is in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Over 1,000 Jews and thousands of allies have signed our open letter to say that Israeli President Isaac Herzog is not welcome here. Help us spread the word!

"Beginning in 1987, Japan exploited a so-called 'scientific research' loophole to continue hunting, even sending ships into the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. That deception finally ended in 2019, when Japan withdrew from the IWC altogether to openly resume commercial whaling."

“Petty, personal and internal rivalries”, makes the coalition ineffective and unsuitable for Government. #Insiders #Auspol #Noaltion

The Nationals rule the #Coalition - a six week suspension is a piss-weak capitulation by Sussssan! What happens next time there is a breach of cabinet solidarity? Not long for Ley or LittleToBeProudOf now. #PissWeak #Auspol #RWNJ #Sussan #Insiders

Remembering LBJ. Australians are funny about warmongers coming here pretending to be decent humans.

Just when you think Linda Reynolds can't stoop any lower... #auspol

Former PM says Sussan Ley should offer 'concessions' to the Nationals if necessary to keep the Coalition together.

So after Bondi we’ve ramped up visa security, strengthened hate laws, & to show the system works we’re letting in a bloke called Herzog who never apologised for explicitly blaming Palestinian civilians for their own deaths & has been seen signing bombs that were dropped on them?

Who is this genocide apologist on #ABCNews with Joe O’Brien? Disgusting obfuscation, clearly an Israeli propagandist. Israeli behaviour in Gaza directly leads to antisemitism. This bloke is a shameful liar. #Herzog #Israel #Auspol

Jeremy Liebler and Alex Ryvchin blame a "lack of leadership" and the anti-Semitic "climate" for the #Bondi attack. Perhaps the lack of leadership shown by the #ECAJ contributed - where instead of displaying moral values and empathy, it supports killing in #Gaza and objects to ceasefires. #Hypocrisy

Good stuff Jim Chalmers, using facts to combat the attempted shallow “gotcha” questions! #ABC730 #Auspol

Answer the question Teddy! Where will you cut? Where Teddy, where? Libs have NO economic credibility. #ABC730 #Auspol

I watched the RBA presser Teddy, you are lying, again. #ABC730 #Auspol #InterestRates

Who cares what Nuclear Ted has to say? #ABC730 #Auspol

Serious overreaction to thee recent uptick in inflation by the RBA - this reckless decision derails an economic recovery. #RBA #Reckless #InterestRates #Inflation #EconomicGrowth

Despite Sussan Ley going way over the time limit for asking a question, Alex Hawke says it’s unfair that Labor MPs called out “Time” Albanese “I do encourage my people to not yell out ‘Time’, there’s enough behind her doing that at the moment.”🔥 ouch #auspol

Dear Jeremy Liebler, perhaps the “climate” you call antisemitic relates to something Israel has done! Are you deliberately obfuscating on this issue? #AntiSemitism #Auspol #Herzog #Bondi
