I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, "guns-a-blazing," to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!

Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

Open letter to David Marr on his interview with Chris Hedges Well-known journalist Chris Hedges, whose talk scheduled to be delivered at the National Press Club was suddenly cancelled, was confronted by the ABC's Late Night Live host David Marr in an unexpectedly ferocious interview. One reader took exception to this.

Whitlam dismissal secrets unearthed from the archives of the Canadian governor-general This newly uncovered material, exclusively published by Crikey, is the first indication from Sir John Kerr himself that Queen Elizabeth II approved of the position he had taken during his dismissal of Gough Whitlam.

What was once seen as the solo action of an isolated governor-general, we now recognise as a carefully planned vice-regal intervention steeped in secrecy, collusion and intrigue, writes historian Jenny Hocking.

Muted response to Trump's appropriation of Christianity “…and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be on the alert…” (Acts 20:29–31).

#Trump’s appropriation of #Christianity is not just unbecoming, it’s corrosive. it corrodes public trust, truth, justice and the idea that religion of any sort can ever be a force for objective good.

Argentina gets $20 billion. Qatar gets an air base on US soil. Dipshit gets nearly $1 billion to retrofit his flying bribe. ICE gets $11.25 billion added to their annual detention budget.

But our enlisted personnel are currently hitting up food banks to fucking eat because they aren't getting paid.

The National Press Club of Australia, caving to the Israeli lobby, Cancels My Talk on Our Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists The National Press Club of Australia cancelled my talk on how the media, by amplifying Israeli lies, have betrayed Palestinian journalists, 278 of whom have been assassinated by Israel.

Pathetic by the National Press Club

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Don't forget her name Amina Al-Mufti, a Palestinian child, was only 10 years old. Only a child! She simply stepped out to fetch a bucket of clean water for her family, something for which no child should have to risk their life.

The discredited Washington Post just fired its last black full-time opinion writer for being insufficiently grief-stricken at the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Drowning prevention program comes to a halt at the CDC A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

Leunig cartoon: Antisemitism or valid political comment? This article was originally published in The Age in November 2012. The republishing of the Leunig cartoon in Pearl and Irritations brought my article to mind.

Was the cartoon really about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict [2012], oo the conflict between the Jewish community and Leunig. It’s all a question of perception and interpretation – the power of the cartoon. #auspol #HaroldZwier

Is there a single Australian who gives a rat’s shit what Bibi Netanyahu thinks? Netanyahu is a corrupt, loveless, narcissistic, irredeemable armchair warlord whose entire approach to leadership is a desire to escape personal accountability by abandoning moral authority. He is garbage, and fuck him.
