ANMF condemns fatal shooting of US intensive care nurse

Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter is backing a proposed fan boycott of men's World Cup matches in the United States because of the conduct of President Donald Trump and his administration.

Someone on my local Facebook community group had a whinge about public holidays surcharges and everyone was pushing back because of the penalty rates that are paid. You love to see it.

“Trump’s appetite for lebensraum, his claim of unlimited power, his support for the global far right, his politicization of the justice system, his deployment of performative brutality, …his creation of a national paramilitary…bespeak something more…sinister than run-of-the-mill greed…”

Cringe

Imagine how small and useless your genitals have to be to work for ICE. Wrong. Smaller and uselesser.

The fact that our biggest “ally” is openly endorsing the execution of its citizens should be big story in Australia. It barely rates a mention in our media. And when it gets coverage, it spins US government lies. It is so depressing.

[cough]

Shut down ABC Australia's US news bureaus. Once again, they're producing meaningless both sides bullshit about the US govt doing fascist crap, making sure to give prominent coverage to statements by serial liars that are clearly untrue. There's goddam video!

“Prink”

Happy anniversary to this meme I made over on the other site which was criminally underappreciated at the time.

It is incredible STILL the level of denial in "polite company", not to mention amongst our political class, about what America now IS. Donald Trump is the most powerful leader in history and he is a fascist. That the US hasn't collapsed into total authoritarianism doesn't change the basic fact.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Boycott the World Cup. Boycott the Olympics.

How many more Americans are going to be murdered by ICE before people start firing back?

Stay indoors Melbourne people. It’s very smoky outdoors.

Asked my kids about potential risks to be aware of online and first answer was accidentally following your grandmother's OnlyFans and must admit I hadn't considered that one

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

$40 order from Kmart with free shipping due to OnePass. So far three shipments have been prepared from three separate stores and the order is still not completely fulfilled. Not sure how they make money.

Now Number 4 (and probably one of the most important beers in shaping Australian brewing) in Bentspoke Crankshaft. It's probably one of the most consistent beers out there in the marketplace. www.liquorland.com.au/beer-and-cid... #beer #ozbeersky

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

The left siding with theocrats is truly some 4D chess stupid shit.

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

At least 3,117 people killed during Iran protests, state media reports https://aje.news/5e2vzj

My Bernard Fanning story is very boring. When I lived in Brisbane I was a regular at The Scratch Bar. It had a capacity of 60 patrons. He turned up one evening when it was full. But still he waited like us plebs (until he got bored and went somewhere else). He waved when someone shouted his name.

Russia's actions in Ukraine amount to genocide. The destruction of Ukrainian identity is the clear goal of Putin's war.

Genuine lol.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

“At press time, reports confirmed the veteran pro wrestler was even more confused after being told that sometimes an actor didn’t even need to be good to receive one.”

Oh jeez. Who could’ve foreseen this? 😂

It's not that complicated @albomp.bsky.social

Define “dismissed”

An independent fact-finding mission should investigate potential crimes against humanity committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, according a UN-appointed representative.

Australian courts have already established a distinction between Zionism as a political ideology and Jewish identity as a racial/cultural/ethnic group. Malinauskas—just apologise, mate. It’s not worth losing a defamation case for the sake of papa Murdoch.

One problem with our media is they knock the rough edges off the insane things the US president says. Instead of reporting that he connected Norway, Nobel, his ego and Greenland our media should be reporting that the president of the US is saying crazy shit and may be genuinely crazy.

The CGT discount hands billions to people who already have the most, while workers pay more tax on their wages and the budget is starved of revenue.

Labor has the Greens support to pass important gun safety reforms. We call on the government to drop the other proposals which scapegoat migrants and create wide-ranging, divisive, one-sided laws. Do not join the Coalition’s race to the bottom.

These reviews are WILD.

More than one in five Australians would vote fascist.

I’ve had family members left horrendously abusive voicemails and the cops won’t do a fucking thing. Meanwhile… www.reddit.com/r/australia/...

One of the most interesting aspects of contemporary media discourse is the way that massive popular displays of support for pro-Palestinian and pacifist positions are just ignored by mainstream media. The Gathering for Gaza gig in Melbourne was huge

In fact non-violent resistance has worked so well that DoJ is stretching on some kind of indictment of Walz for insurrection. So far the basis of the case is ???? & ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Iranian people could not possibly want something different than a violent theocracy that executes at will. It must be all the work of Mossad and/or the CIA. It’s such nonsense reductivism.

Liberals love suing other Liberals.
