Hanson: "Despite my constant warnings about radical Islam infiltrating Australia, your government chooses to vilify me in every possible way..." Can't even accuse govt of vilifying her without vilifying Muslims. PS. When did we get outnumbered by 'Asians' Pauline, as you predicted 25 years ago?

Seems Trump is doing what almost all acquisitive dictators past and present have done. Overreaching. Overstretching. Carrier fleet well under full strength and getting involved, or threatening to get involved, in multiple adventures and confrontations globally - all needing resources to back them.

so Albo ..Penny >>> Richard .. what will you do if Trump's thugs invade Greenland? .. sit on you hands and mutter bland admonishments ? OR have the guts to walk away from #AUKUS?

When will we learn our lesson?? Our continued dependency on fossil fuel will not only kill people in the long term, it creates geopolitical instability and kills people in the short term. All to satisfy the greed of the broligarchy. We have the capability to move to carbon free sources.

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

Lemme guess, Florida State University?

actually it would be darkly humerous if the first ever full on NATO war was against the US

Hilton Hotels doubles-down on their support for the American Gestapo. When looking for a hotel, there are *plenty* of other choices.

I think if you use inside information to bet on military operations on Polymarket you deserve to be flogged and keel hauled.....and then immediately yeeted into the sun.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

Fucking hell this is good and nails it...

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021. Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

The first thing Australia needs to do is realise AMERICA IS NOT ITS FRIEND and will likely pull Australia into any such conflict it whimsically creates. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Get real. It was never about democracy and never will be. It was only ever about the oil and US companies sense of entitlement to it. Many of US and West's most cosy allies are less democratic and have worse human rights records than Venezuela.

Add DIageo and all its brands to your list of companies cosying up to Trump and his fascist regime. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

No minister or MP should EVER meet with a lobbyist alone and without minuting the meeting for the public record. If they've got something to say, say it to us, whom the government represents... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Woman arrested live on air by Donald Trump's thugs just because she says she doesn't want her tax dollars used to commit war crimes in Venezuela. This is far worse repression than they have in Venezuela.

When is a kidnapping not a kidnapping? When the organisation you work for has totally capitulated to the forces of big money, dictatorship and the far right under a government that has done the same.

Who’s the boss? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Incredible. Three of the most awful people available to serve the fourth. Remember when the Dems confirmed Rubio without a second's thought?

Israel has offered to train Australian police officers in counter-terrorism. Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli said "We bring extensive experience in combating radical Islamic terrorism." So Israel is seeking to rebrand its #GazaGenocide as "counter-terrorism". #IsraeliTerrorism

#Cryptic #crossword clue of the day: Goat I take with a lie-down. (4)

This isn't about US reps making one-off decisions about handling Trump's insanities. The same people driving Trump's agenda have been grooming the reps who might vote to stop him for decades. This is a cultural ecosystem of dirty money and coercive control beyond the individual agency of most.

i like having a seperate css for every one-off page

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth. This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

Letter to the Age. #auspol #AusMusic #immigration #NoRoomForRacism

Trump’s real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward. 2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country. Be warned.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

If Russia invades Germany and kidnaps Chancellor Merz, I guess the EU response will be: "The legal assessment of the Russian intervention is complex and requires careful consideration. International law remains the guiding framework." www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...

Even they aren't stupid enough to think this will benefit society. They are literally trying to kill people. Banal and unspectacular (until it's your kid that dies) but in many ways more sinister and disturbing than kidnapping foreign presidents. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Well what dunderhead would put their money against one of these bets? One tip-off is all it takes (or all it took in this case). www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The broken clock speaks.

“The democratic will of the Venezuelan people” is not even remotely a consideration of the Trump Admin. It is completely irrelevant to Trump.

Grant Hackett calling for a royal commission?! Because values?! Accused of domestic violence, smashed his house up, lost in the casino out of control drunk, groped a fellow passenger’s nipple on a plane, too dangerous for his own family …that Grant Hackett?

Venezuela is mentioned in Project 2025 18 times...

One has to ponder if this is the end of relevance for mainstream Australian media. Two weeks of a full-throated campaign arguing for a RC, a campaign I thought would shift the dial (regardless of where people started), and the response from the public is a collective shrug 🤷‍♀️

The Australian media is insulting its own, as well as Australians’ intelligence by playing down the illegality and extreme consequentiality of the US intervention in Venezuela. We must pay attention and take action against such gross disservice to Australian democracy.

🎯 And NSW is already holding a RC (Minns being the Zionist-booklicker that he is), so why hold 2 RCs that will deliver the same results? Allowing the RW media/politicians/Zionists to shout out their lies over & over again does nothing but divide the country even more! #auspol
