This ... ⤵️ (The 'royal commission' we really need is the one asking why we're still allied to the USA & why their troops & military infrastructure is still in our country.) ⤵️ ⤵️

Evening Friends. Say hi to old friends and make new ones. We won't let that happen this time. We are stronger together and we are growing in force. United we are a force that scares the hell out of them. #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew #BreakfastCrew #NoKings

Trump already explained his rationale for invading Venezuela long ago. The key is to remember that Trump ALWAYS projects his mode of thinking and his own lack of morals onto others. He therefore presumed Obama would behave exactly like Trump would behave, and is behaving now.

When the abc portrays Sam Newman as an elite athlete and give him political credibility there is a cause for concern about accountability and ethical decision making at the abc . The abc also used Packer as some sort of authority on Royal Commissions .

And it’s all to distract from Epstein and Jack Smith

Hey - there's pics & footage of troop-carrying helicopters landing in Venezuela. That means we ALREADY have troops on the ground. When trump says "HE" will run Venezuela, he means troops on the ground will. That means trumps "Operation Grand Distraction" leads to American casualties, doesn't it?

Trump and his Administration = A bunch of low life liars.

All I see is this.

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Good analysis from Sarah Martin, but misses a key point: if the Bondi massacre is being hijacked by culture warriors like Howard and the anti-immigration right, it's because that's how mainstream media chooses to frame it. They are lazy or complicit. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

v1.111 is live today! We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi. Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

Finland. What an amazing country. Best education in the world. Eons ahead

If we’re going to talk about political violence, let’s talk about where it started.

All violence is abhorrent and I absolutely condemn the shooting of Charle Kirk. Full stop. That said, he did not do the same when he was alive.

👏👏👏

Where’s all the hysterical media coverage on the violent Neo Nazi hate crime against First Nations people at Camp Sovereignty? Gone quiet now. Is that because it’s not at a synagogue?

During Wednesday night, Israel bombed several villages in South Lebanon. No military targets. No warning. No justification. Lots of video of this. Yet no reports of this on our Australian ABC News website. Why no coverage? #auspol #JournalismMatters #IsraeliWarCrimes #LebanonUnderAttack 🇱🇧

ok what do they know

Laura Tingle “The irony of course is that the US has always maintained a position of 'strategic ambiguity' about what it would do in the case of China invading Taiwan. Yet now it is pressuring Australia and Japan to say what they would do” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

As you watch this #abc730 about improperly trained childcare staff, just remember that the coalition policy when they were in govt was the push of unqualified staff being okay in both childcare and aged care. Mic drop. #auspol

Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm www.meidasplus.com/p/texas-offi...

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I like Finland 😎

Why the exorbitance of the Bezos-Sánchez wedding is hitting such a nerve From Venice to New York City, the world is growing weary of the extraordinary wealth divide between the uber wealthy, the “oligarchy” — and the rest of us. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

America is surely the poster-child for the notion that humans are incapable of learning from history, or true philosophical growth. It's 2025 and, for the most part, that nation is as ignorant, arrogant, bigoted, pretentious and neurotic as ever they were. There is no cure.

If you’re not outraged by this, you really should be.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Republicans say ‘one death by an immigrant is one too many.’ But then what do we say about Uvalde? Sandy Hook? Pulse nightclub? Buffalo? Las Vegas? Parkland? All American-born killers. If that logic held, we’d have banned assault weapons years ago. But it’s not about safety.👇

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Although we can look at this and feel knowing and smug, it doesn’t matter. He is never ashamed of anything he said or did. He never apologises, he doesn’t need to. He’s the King. Well done America

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

We must still keep eyes focused on Gaza, as the Israeli's misdirection with Iran poses risks for the entire region, and the world. Humanity at the crossroads.

Denying veterans care to ALL Democrats? That’s some bullshit.

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Regardless of it being real or fake, I quite enjoyed this clip of North Korean news report trolling Trump's military parade. 😁

This is what we get for ruining his birthday…
