All the more reason to follow Gareth's excellent journalism.

At least 63 children were killed when joint US/Israel strikes hit a girl’s school in Iran

92 others are injured, while still more are trapped beneath the ruins

Trump has evolved from a dictator to a monster

Abolishing collaboration?! Can we discuss that? On practising "soft skills" for a hard future Opposition education spokesperson, Julian Leeser, has apparently decided that the most important issue to weigh into on tertiary education right now is abolishing group assignments.* Funnily enough, I actually went to uni with Julian, at UNSW law school way back last century.

Learning to deal with colleagues who may or may not pull their weight is an important skill. It's only a problem for university group assignments because of the obsessive focus on assessment. Sooner or later, we will have to give up on testing and stick to teaching

Something good has come out of the conviction of my child sex offender narcissist ex husband.

His case was also used to help change the law in regard to "Good Character References"

I love it for him that his name & case will forever be referenced in Law Books.

F*ck the Zionists.

Fascinating. Gutless board members were implorec to rescind thier appalling decision, they blew up Writers Week. Should be a lesson to Festuval organisers- guve the finger to the racist Zionist lobby.

political and media operatives screeching and kerning over one word is a text book example of how conflict journalism and oppositional politics are <the> cause of everything they claim <we> are doing wrong on social cohesion.

Divisive. Heated. Careless. Comment threads awash with bigotry and hate.

My parent’s taught me to NEVER go with or be taken by a “masked up” man.
This is not ok.
ICE is not ok.
Trump is a pedophile and he’s obviously not ok.

If y’all want better, you gotta vote better.

Vote these heinous, sick Republicans out!

this is an absolute bald-faced lie, these were the exact consequences of the OBBB, there was a whole, separate side negotiation for an insufficient bail out for rural hospitals in order to get the bill passed and it is not to much to ask the press corpse to remember basic details

Reporter reads allegations against Trump in the missing Epstein documents: This woman says that she was forced to perform oral sex on the president when she was around 13 years old and that subsequent or during that same episode, the president hit her or slapped her in the face.

Hillary Clinton’s deposition was paused after Lauren Boebert took a photo & sent it to Benny Johnson, violating House rules. These are the most unserious people in the world. Someone tell Boebert that kids and women being trafficked isn’t a game or her entertainment.

During the marathon campaign rally that Trump called his SOTU speech, he "unveiled" a proposal for the federal government to provide matching contributions of up to $1,000 per year to the retirement accounts of low-wage earners.

It's a great idea. It is also already a law signed by Biden in 2022.

Before the Bondi massacre, the Albanese govt was going to quietly dump the antidemocratic 'antisemitism' report from Jillian Segal.

Now Ms Segal is briefing Attorneys-General on 'hate'.

DOJ’s Epstein Files Screwups Get Worse With Unredacted Nudes — The Daily Beast Close to 100 explicit photographs were reportedly found before they were removed and re-uploaded with redactions.

Nearly 100 explicit images involving minors were reportedly released unredacted in the DOJ’s Epstein files dump, despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring victim protections. Abusers names were redacted and all of this seems intentional.

The Guardian:

Democrats on the House oversight committee called for Donald Trump to be deposed before the committee “immediately,” making this demand as Hillary Clinton appeared before the committee for closed-door testimony and said she had never met Jeffrey Epstein.
