Former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad says Israel ‘did not learn anything’ from its experience of genocide by the Nazis.

I feel proud of my Irish heritage when I see news like this. The Irish have been notably good on the issue of Israel genocide of Palestinians, for a western nation, and I really appreciate them for it.

I'm very worried that Labor has a fucking moron in it's ranks who's spending too much time on social media and saying "Actually I think we should appeal to this toxic culture for political benefit"

I can't get over "engraved anti-ICE messaging" and it's just "anti-ICE" written in pen.

The centre of mass is stored in the balls.

Kash Patel is fucking dumbest person they could have chosen to cosplay as a cop... The "engraving" is the "steamed ham" in this scenario...

Nailed it. "Anti-ICE" messaging 😂

This has the look and feel of keystone cop nonsense.

This reeks of bullshit Who the fuck says "ANTI-ICE" instead of the clear, concise and universal accepted phrase" "FUCK ICE". I have literally never once seen anyone anywhere say or type "ANTI-ICE". Also the photo was of a full, unspent clip of bullets and it was detainees who were hit, not ICE

Calling to bomb the U.N? Are you fucking serious? Where is the fucking FCC? This outrageously violent rhetoric going ignored while Kimmel is pulled off air for merely speculating on the political alignment of Kirk's assassin should surely utterly decimate the credibility of the FCC.

This is so fucking pathetic, even by their standards. Yes, the UN conspired to embarrass the First Lady and the President of the United States by stopping them part way up an escalator. Like they can't just fucking walk the rest of the steps themselves. Jesus Christ.

Trump: "The evil globalist elites are undermining me by turning the escalators off and thus forcing me to walk up some stairs". This degree of victim mentality is so damn pathetic. MAGA have obviously bought into some incredibly far-fetched bullshit but surely they're not nodding along to this...

Israel: "It's okay for us to kill civilians because we dropped leaflets warning them that we were going to do so" Israel's excuses for its behaviour are absolutely ridiculous and only taken seriously by entirely indoctrinated supporters of Israel. Best way I can sum up the way Israel is behaving:

Where is Trump's response to Kimmel's reinstatement? It's been a full day and just silence. It's almost unsettling that he's had absolutely nothing to say about it. Not even a single all caps Truth Social post. Did he just get so worked up about it that his heart gave out??? Very weird...

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow. Never doubt the power of collective action.

Has Trump responded to Kimmel's reinstatement yet? I'm imagining him having called his people into the whitehouse situation room for him to have a total narcissistic meltdown demanding some nuclear option to have the government openly and directly intervene to censor Kimmel...

Trump admin working overtime to make "Idiocracy" seem less like a work of fiction.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

I guess there were a lot of people following through with the boycott. I won't be reactivating my subscription, though. The eagerness with which Disney submitted to authoritarianism is completely unforgivable in my eyes.

Absolutely fuck this. The opposition basically pledging allegiance to the U.S. authoritarian regime and inviting foreign interference. The LNP deserves to die off entirely, and I hope that we make that decision next election. The LNP would trade away our independence just to get back in power.

Colbert: Fired for jokes. Kilmeade: Keeps job for demanding we kill homeless. Kimmel: Fired for jokes. Ingraham: Keeps job for telling ICE "Good Job" for a violent attack on Dem candidate. 🤔 It's almost as if the right are enormous, pathetic hypocrites.

"punitive measures” Republicans believe that duping poorly educated Americans gives them the right to rule the world. Not an ally. Not a friend. #CancelAUKUS and step back from the insane USA @albomp.bsky.social. #AusPol

this exists it is called thinking

Remember to cancel your Disney+ subscription if you have one.

A bold move for a company that has any competition whatsoever...

The Israel/USA genocide continues. We can’t be allied with these nations any more.

"You can't use that word unless it is balanced with the opinion of someone who thinks killing children is fine." chaser.com.au/general-news...

So I'm watching all the various U.S. talk show bits about Kimmel's firing and JFC... The pauses for laughter and gesturing and overdoing of the joke go on so long that I actually have to pick up the remote and skip ahead. Why are Americans like this?

Donald Trump is the most hopelessly naive and easily manipulated moron I've ever seen hold a position of power. He seems to be starting to gain *some* understanding of what's going on, but he still won't act. This makes absolutely no sense for someone as vain, Ill tempered and vindictive as Trump.

Hey fuck you Bob Iger

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

Just for the record, this is what Kimmel had to say about Charlie Kirk's assassination. What Kimmel has been cancelled for is his clearly genuine digust at the Trump admin's politicisation of Kirk's death. The Trump admin has just made it very clear they've decided to kill the 1st amendment...

“I am a huge fan of the first amendment, which is of course that the President’s feelings must be protected at all costs.” chaser.com.au/world/trump-...

Will be interesting to see whether anyone on the right will actually speak up against this very clear and dramatic infringement of the 1st amendment. Kimmel's cancellation *should* be a bridge too far for any genuine defender of free speech. It's judgement time for people like Elon Musk.

I could have sworn he'd already previously claimed to have done this. Except he didn't then, and he hasn't now because antifi isn't an organisation and they couldn't define what it is they're trying to designate as their enemy because they're dumb as is everyone who voted for this shit... again...

There was a vigil in DC for Charlie Kirk; Donald Trump chose to go golfing.

I honestly can't tell whether or not the U.K has deliberately done this to show everyone with any doubt in their mind that this guy definitely and absolutely thinks of himself as the king of the U.S.A.

I believe we've witnessed a watershed moment in the decline of the U.S. as a free country. Jimmy Kimmel's comments on the Trump admin's response to Charlie Kirk's assassination were objectively mild as hell, and 100% focussed at the admin and were in no way shape or form disrespectful to Kirk.

I'm getting deja vu... Did he not already try doing this only for anyone who knows anything to point out that "antifa" isn't an organisation at all and actually just a position of staunch opposition to fascism...

How does anyone believe that this guy understands them when his entire existence is a demonstration that he is completely incapable of doing so?

E. Hands down. I would eat Ethiopian every day if I could afford to and there were any Ethiopian restaurants near me...

Israel has dehumanised Palestinians for decades, eventually leading to the current Gaza genocide, say analysts.

Failure to ugly cry over a dead podcaster now a Federal offense.

THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE... 300,000,000... In one year, no less... For comparison, covid has killed 7,000,000 people since the outbreak in 2020... This man's brain does not work.

It's utterly petulant to characterise opposition to Israel's genocide of Palestinians as antisemitism Russia was banned for invading Ukraine. These countries are simply calling out double standards Being excluded from Eurovision is a pretty mild consequence for committing genocide...

This kind of blantant double standard is why I stopped watching eurovision. Imagine ignoring genocide because you're scared of some petulant rogue state falsely accusing you of antisemitism for calling them out and holding them accountable. That's how governments of this time will be remembered...
