The very same commentators that spent years condemning anti-semitism in UK politics as a major national scandal, have suddenly lost interest now that it implicates one of their own www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-farage...

For Trump and Miller, the Abrego Garcia case was a crucial gauge of how far they could get in disappearing undesirables and placing them beyond the law entirely. Judge Xinis' ruling is important in that context. It calls out Trump's lawless conduct throughout. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2043...

Unlike most Australians, Pauline Hanson won’t be sweating on more cost-of-living relief. The defection of Barnaby Joyce from the Nationals boosts One Nation to party status. Now with five members, her salary as leader will increase by $100,000 to $340,900. satpa.pe/sa1DCjQ

Lehrmann inquiry head Walter Sofronoff loses bid to overturn ‘serious corrupt conduct’ finding

Brereton also insisted that no case put to him had “ticked the boxes” for a public hearing. But that’s all I’ve got from this inquiry which is now over. Time seemed limited, I didn’t feel we got most out of it but it is what it is Now what? Back to waiting tor nothing to happen

After Commr Brereton rates NACC 7 out of 10, David Shoebridge reveals a shocking case where survivor of child sexual abuse had her case against AFP botched by NACC who apologised “for not using relevant evidence” “Do u stand by your 7/10 rating?”🔥Shameless Brereton stands by it

Keep thinking of what social media would have meant to me as a teen growing up in isolation in the country. Sure, I read more books, but also fled home at 17 to live with my boyfriend... ended up married in my teens. Would have loved to be a part of an online group of friends for support.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

QUICK! Get The Teens back on social media !!!!

The risks of getting the data wrong can be extraordinary. “The rapid nature of this is you get put in the back of a van, you might be four states away in a couple of hours and put in a facility where the records aren't even updated online,” McClain says. Read more:

WIRED first reported in April that the Trump administration had been pooling data—sometimes leading to incomplete or inaccurate data—from across the government in its push to surveil and track immigrants, and it’s only continued from there.

As immigration raids have swept the country and the US government rapidly merges data from across federal agencies, it’s not just immigrants who have been kidnapped and detained. American citizens have also been caught up.

Am sure the government will be absolutely devastated that the social media ban will greatly limit the ability to organise things like the School Strike 4 Climate.

Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world

The trial, day one.

The trial of six peace activists is proving just how determined the UK state is to hollow out the public’s civil, political and legal rights to justify its continuing support for Israel’s slaughter of Gaza’s children. Matthew Alford reads my latest: jonathancook.substack.com/p/listen-has...

The move follows a listing by Texas last month. The NGO calls the designation 'unconstitutional' and 'defamatory'.

Through plausible accounting tricks and dodgy offsets, big tech wants to power its massive data centre build with fossil fuels, putting humanity at risk.

Great to see Aus media covering this important visit from chief Na'Moks to Murujuga, WA. A reminder that Na'Moks and his delegation will be in Naarm/Melbourne this week: come and meet them this Thursday 6:15pm at Trades Hall (see flyer below for details). Hope to see you there!

Why is the US-ingratiating Australian media so ready to assume that ‘full-steam ahead’ on #AUKUS is good news? Australians never voted for this. We abhor Trump and despise US aggression. Let’s vote for the party that rips up this ruinous pact and destroys the fascist defence lobby pushing this BS.

What is wrong with the ALP?? Tell the Americans to go f@&k themselves. What are they going to do? Declare war on us? They are a failed state run by nutjobs.

I've just finished reading the judgment in the Lehrmann appeal to the Federal Court and a few points really stuck out - apart from the fact that the appeal judges agreed that Lehrmann's story was an absolute fabrication. Lisa Wilkinson was found to have been poorly done by in the original judgment
