Penny prevaricating, as usual. Weasel words. And this is coming from someone who was a Penny fan.

“It doesn't matter what you do, doesn't matter how much you give him. [Trump] will not defend those bases.” The moment Senator David Shoebridge quoted our own Dr Emma Shortis on the Senate floor! #auspol @emmashortis.bsky.social @davidshoebridge.bsky.social

"Israel escalates its brutality and ambitions in what are still technically Palestinian territories, and against Palestinian people." Cue the Israel lobby for: - a coordinated email campaign to the ABC Board - Jillian Segal citing this as 'unbalanced' coverage - calls for Laura Tingle's sacking.

"Power and resistance flow through everyday acts of courage. Together, we hold quite a lot of power." - Polly Hemming There's bravery out there right now, in Australia and around the world.

Given the absolute push (speaking about Australia) across the school education system to have teachers use AI and to teach students to use AI, in a few years by the time any reach university the damage will be total.

"The RBA noted that “strong demand enabled retailers to increase prices by more than might be expected given changes in the prices of imported consumer goods”. In a totally unrelated note, this week JB Hi-Fi announced a 7.1% lift in net profit for the half year" www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

And a reminder that Israel as the illegal occupying power is still refusing the allow international journalists, aid workers, and researchers in to document the most accurate account of killings, disease, and civilian infrastructure destruction in detail. #GazaGenocide

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

If this was happening anywhere else… they’s be hit with a ton of bricks (or an all-out assault). Why does Israel get a free pass? The mere fact that the Holocaust even happened is a reason for it never to happen again. And yet, here we are.

TODAY on #MSNOW: 10am-2pm/EST 7am-11am/PST-Jack Smith Finally Testifies to Congress about when our Presidementia incited an insurrection at the Capitol to steal a free & fair election & when he stole Top-Secret Gov't Documents & stored them in his bathroom. Y'know... many, many, MANY crimes ago.

How is it that one of the most divisive individuals ever to occupy the Oval Office has somehow managed to unite the entire world against us?

Guardian: "With impunity, masked agents have acted with lethal and lawless violence in Minneapolis. With the connivance of the White House, their actions have been defended with assertions that most of the country has been able to see are false." Australian government: Crisis? What crisis? #auspol

We are right to be apalled by ICE's deadly violence. But if you're surprised by comply-or-die policing, you haven't been paying attention.

Like Australia doesnt have a problem with enough water… sheesh. We need water. Lots of it. We don’t need data centres like this.

Oh damn. Not hot enough already? Actually for me its the humidity thats the killer.

All of this.

To Pam Bondi and Kash Patel: We demand a full investigation of Renee Good’s killer, Jonathan Ross. Stop investigating her widow.

And what a historic moment it is. To see an American parttime First Lady, go from hooker to full-time wet nurse for a dementia ridden paedophile.

On the day we celebrate invasion by an imperial power, Anthony Albanese is celebrating the best way he knows how…

Trump has [not a complete list]: - killed est. 800,000 through USAID cuts - enabled #GazaGenocide - murdered people on boats and in the streets of Minneapolis - threatened to invade Greenland - fucked international law. ...but when Albo finally finds his voice, it's about something Trump *said*?

ICE is out of control.

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a single submarine for Australia. Join me in signing the @australiainstitute.org.au petition demanding more scrutiny nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

NSW needs one, also.

Albanese is sucking up to tech overlords and #AI the same way his government is sucking up to Trump. Both will end in tears. Or worse. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Julie Inman Grant: Who is the Australian woman taking on the social media behemoths?

Netanyahu is a corrupt, genocidal, thin-skinned man-child who propped up Hamas with millions of dollars. Why is even a foreign propaganda outlet like Sky News giving him a platform?

Well said, Simon. I just wish there was a better word than pathetic, but it will do. Labor has been such a disappointment.

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it. We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS. ✍️ Add your name: theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry

There’s a lot of talk about “insurrection” coming from the White House, which has led many to predict that they are considering invoking the Insurrection Act. What plans are afoot, and what would that look like if it happened? My write-up in the replies.

Opinion | Project Planet CEO Tegan Lerm explains why you won't hear her talk about Labor's emissions reduction target.

Pack of idiots.

Et tu Woolworths? Someone tell Jillian Segal!

47 needs the 25th.

Israel's dehumanizing and smearing of Palestinian reporters is made easier because western media is inherently racist. There would be far more coverage [and outrage] if an American or European or Australian journalist was killed by Israeli forces, than a Palestinian.

"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."

Ghislaine Maxwell was a full partner with Epstein. She was indispensable in the seduction and rape of these children. She is a monster exactly like Epstein was. They are both sexual deviants, child rapists, human traffickers, and extortionists. And the US govt is protecting them both.

Hello Fascism.

In WA's far north, where the red dirt meets the sea, is a popular spot most know as Crab Creek. But for traditional owners, it is Mangalagun, a spiritually important place.
