Absolutely unspeakable actions by @albomp.bsky.social & #labor!!!
Definitely not listening to the #Australian electorate. Are they pandering to #OneNation Voters?
I'm sure we didn't vote for #albomp to become a #TrumpStooge!!

Good call, but I hope someone is documenting the lies.
I feel assaulted by the loaded language and tone, much like the radio ads that are designed to pierce conscious resistance and insert the toxic payload.
It's win win for Zionists.
You either believe their lies, or you are stricken with grief.

Honestly I was wondering if you saw any of it and was going to ask. πŸ˜† I accidentally saw a couple minutes and my blood pressure went through the roof. It was deeply offensive and full of outrageous lies and propaganda. In just two minutes! I am ashamed of the ABC.

I've had multiple people message tonight about some Zio proganda fest on the ABC and I gotta say I'm pretty ok with having no idea what the fuck they were talking about. Just cut the cord already, why would you ever listen to habitually news that lies about genocide and war?

One thing consistently left out of every single American war movie is how much their pedophile leaders love bombing primary schools

A really great episode today with Scott & Michael talking sense & Jo's interview with Ian Dunt - Starmer & Albanese both spout 'passive tense, management guff'.

Casus belli contrived has put us in the belly of the beast (more than one). Good to hear from Dave that more ALPs are seeing the light βœŒοΈπŸ™βœŒοΈ

Unfortunately I have to concede that you are right David.

I'm sure I'm not the only Labor person to say so.

@albomp.bsky.social is all the way with the "Trumpet for War". He is incredibly disappointing.

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

β€œAlbanese has handed over our sovereignty, our tax dollars, our dignity, for belly rubs, selfies, invisible submarines, business as usual with fascists, and eternal genocide. May he be judged accordingly.β€œ

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Cheers to Dave for that title 🀣

I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

"Australians cannot begin to understand the Right’s collective shrug at the horrific toll of Israel’s violence without understanding that there is a transnational Islamophobia Industry.
...There is no genocide if Muslims are not understood as fully human."

Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia - The Shot There is a transnational Islamophobia Industry of massive family foundations and β€œthink tank” operations that have been generating fear and loathing of Muslims since the 1990s.

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social with a great piece of research about the local right-wing establishment social engineering operation occurring of late.
