Funny how Donald just gave his complete and total endorsement to Benjamin Netanyahu, the man who tricked Trump into going to war with Iran, which sent fuel costs soaring and may cost Trump control of Congress. But Donald is smart like that.

Congress passed a law forcing new sanctions and tariffs on Russia. Two days before it kicked in, Trump signed an order waiving it. Read that twice. Then ask who the law was for. Trump is a Russian asset.

Trump views Ukraine as Russia's Canada. Because Trump does not believe Canada has sovereignty and the right to be independent from The United States, Trump will always take Russia's side. Great video from Anders Puck Nielsen. @anderspucknielsen.dk

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s administration is threatening Europe with “DEVASTATING” retaliation if European countries move to reduce their dependence on Elon Musk’s Starlink. Instead of standing up to Putin, Trump is using American power to protect Musk’s business interests. TRUMP. IS. A. TRAITOR. 😎🇺🇸✨

It's inexcusable, ABC, to not state clearly that this is PALESTINIAN land. Those attacking & destroying lives & olive trees are not "settlers". They're ILLEGAL INVADERS, seeking to remove the existing & rightful inhabitants by destroying their means of existence & in many cases killing them. #Auspol

Sweet Jesus muskrat has had a lot of gender affirming support! And funny enough being an un manly ugly creep doesn’t seem to bother some women, it’s the old billionaires free pass! He wasted a lot of money for not much improvement. Maybe AI will be able to find a way to turn him into Henry Cavill.

SOME GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE…👇 Democrats introduce bill letting Americans sue ICE agents who unlawfully arrested them. The Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act strips officers of immunity and requires $500,000 in damages for citizens arrested without a warrant or probable cause. 😎🇺🇸✨

Trump is a traitor. The USA cannot be trusted as an ally. Australia should learn serious lessons from Trump’s abusive treatment of Ukraine. Now is the time for Australia to pull out of #AUKUS and to spend the money on making Australia a better, safer, kinder, smarter, healthier country. #auspol

Europe cannot replicate the missile production or military technology that America provides Ukraine. To keep Donald Trump on side, Volodymyr Zelensky has been forced to change his tactics

"Abraham asks one of the soldiers a remarkably blunt question. “Do you think it’s a genocide?” “Yes,” the soldier replies. “Completely.” He points to what he describes as the “intentional” killing of Palestinian civilians, including children. “We have to describe things as they really are.”

This should set off alarm bells across Australia. AUKUS is a dud deal.

Ian Bond@cerianbond.bsky.social

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

Putin, Trump and Musk all colluding to defeat Ukraine

⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says. Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Shared values, anyone? Rule of law? Social cohesion? Holding genocidaires to account? Sending war criminals to The Hague? Stopping complicit Israeli troops, politicians, administrators, business folk & others complicit in genocide from entering Australia? What do you say Albo?

"The Israeli military has ruled out releasing the audio of the drone strike that killed Zomi Frankcom, rejecting a key demand of the aid worker’s family and the Albanese government as they seek accountability for her death."

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Overheard 2 blokes talking in the pub. One said "When my grandfather turned 100 he got a telegram from the Queen" Other guy said, "That's nothing, when my granddaughter turned 15 she got a 'phone call from Prince Andrew."

Adidas chose to use an Israeli IDF soldier who lost his leg while Israel was committing War Crimes in Gaza as an advertisement. Gaza has the most amputees in the world, Adidas has never used them on its ads.

At Turman Elementary, in Colorado Springs, children told staff they were aggressively approached by masked men with weapons, who identified themselves as ICE agents. ICE claims the children were lying, and the children approached THEM, and accuses people speaking up of "creating a climate of fear."

Israel has 2 flags: the official Flag of Israel (also called the Flag of Zion). And the unofficial, but often used, False Flag, rptedly unfurled to garner sympathy and support for the Zionist terrorist state. #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine
