WALZ: “.. Donald Trump’s calling our Somali neighbors ‘garbage’ and calling the state of Minnesota a ‘hellhole’. I’m assuming it’s unprecedented for a United States President. .. We’ve got little children going to school today, their president called them ‘garbage’.”

NPT only prohibits the signatory country from obtaining nuclear weapons of its own. Hosting other people's nukes, for a visit or even in military bases is totally fair game.

How do we compete with Beijing when so few of us can speak Chinese? The tiny numbers of students learning an Asian language is a “systemic failure” which will cost us dearly.

A very sharp piece from @lisavisentin.bsky.social

Even as Australia reassesses its exposure to China, we still need people who understand how its system works for policy, strategy & risk.

If the market isn’t producing that talent, govt may need to consider how to.

Netanyahu continues to starve and kill the people of Gaza. Putin is pretending to negotiate peace while attacking Ukraine. Trump is randomly killing Venezuelan's. They have no desire for peace. It is how they stay in power. Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are now the leaders of the new axis of evil.

We are piss weak. We have allowed Nuclear powered Subs etc for years. Where as our little cousin New Zealand said no nukes years ago, copped trade sanctions etc from the USA and never backed down. I respect New Zealand for being strong willed

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

A tweet by journalist Peter Baker stating that Trump launched a xenophobic tirade calling Somalis “garbage,” describing the remarks as unusually blatant even for him. Below is a photo of Trump speaking angrily at a meeting, with American flags behind him.

No people are “garbage.” That is the language of fascists. We need to rein this racist lunatic in.

America does not have a far left movement.

Our far-right are fascists. Our center-right are extremist nationalists. Our center-left are classical conservatives. Our far-left are moral centrist moderates.

Any objective political compass would place politicians like Sanders or Warren barely left of center

A real far-leftist movement would be advocating for forced property seizure by the working-class.

Instead our far-left is like "don't let people die in medical poverty, please"

Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.

But it's not.

Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.

That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

Mary Kostakidis. Forced to argue against Israel's war in an Australian court - Michael West Mary Kostakidis is continuing her court battle, with the Racial Discrimination Act used as a battering ram against free speech.

Jeffrey Epstein, Netanyahu, Barak, Jimmy Carter, Chomski & Nasrallah are but a few of the names in evidence.
@marykostakidis.bsky.social has filed her defence against the Zionists's 18C bizarre court action

Trump’s stated justification for every single one of his despicable pardons of multiple drug traffickers, wealthy fraudsters, people who beat up cops, cronies, violent criminals, and politically connected Republicans is always the same: “I heard they were treated very unfairly.”
