kinda wild to realise that all the checks and balances of american democracy were really just thoughts and prayers all along

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

From the Guardian comments

The Spanish PM makes it look so easy!

"The ABC contacted the office of Jillian Segal, Australia's antisemitism envoy, to see what her response to those comments was. It's been almost a week now, and there's been no reply."

Extreme rhetoric in right-wing political circles deserves more attention The rhetoric in Australia's right-wing political circles is getting more extreme and the media should be paying more attention.

Maybe when Israel finds its Mandela, you can ask your neighbors for theirs.

Right now, Israel & its leaders are like Eugene de Kock on crack. Asking for a Mandela is not just some chutzpah, it’s psychopathic behavior.

Louise Adler sets the record straight on Adelaide Writers' Week The Adelaide Writers’ Week (AWW) debacle might have served as a “life lesson” to politicians and lobbyists about the risks involved in interfering with the independence of arts organisations. But as we have seen at Newcastle and the Sydney Writers Festival some are apparently slow learners.

The Adelaide Writers’ Week saga was about lobby groups, false equivalence and pressure on cultural institutions to bend to political demands, Louise Adler writes.

The Israel lobby and its stenographers in the media dislike context so last night at the Adelaide Town Hall I set the record straight on the #AWW26 debacle.Given the continuing misrepresentation and fact free reporting an edited version of the speech is now up on the Pearls & Irritations website.

This is so clear and coherent. It takes some chutzpah for the Zionist lobby to have a problem, but it makes the intervention of the SA Premier completely baffling.

That he would post a picture like this tells you everything you need to know about Tim Wilson

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Late-stage capitalism everybody. All that matters is that someone made money

When you gain the admiration of actual fascist supremacists, it may be time for for some self reflection.

Our ‘good friend’

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

The US is beyond a joke.

I don’t believe the US would come to our aid either. So there’s that.

Absolute tosh.

a chart showing openness to voting for one nation

The Guardian Australian Politics Guardian Essential report: One Nation woos progressive voters Australian Politics Play episode February 2614 mins Bookmarks + ↓ View Transcript Episode Description > Since October, the Guardian Essential poll has been following the rise in support for One Nation but this month's results might also ring alarm bells for Labor. This is because nearly half of Labor voters said they would be open to voting for One Nation at the next federal election. Political reporter and chief of staff Josh Butler and Essential Media executive director Peter Lewis discuss why One Nation's surge is more than just a 'noisy' protest about the Coalition, and why Pauline Hanson's party is attracting voters across the political spectrum See all episodes

ONE THIRD of Australian Greens voters are 'open' to voting for the viciously racist party.....the word "racist" shows up once in this Guardian podcast ep covering the polling (I checked the transcript to be sure).

Not discussing racism in white left spaces in Aus is a pretty huge mistake.

I mean just not licking the boots quite so enthusiastically would be something. But here we are.

Trump has attacked Iran because the public were inching closer to the truth of his involvement in sex crimes with Epstein. I know we all know this, but let’s say it out loud. Trump is starting a Middle East war to distract from his child abuse crimes.

Albo is turning the temperature down by backing an illegal war against a sovereign state, ok, cool are we all feeling cool

What has happened to the Labor party Doug? Pathetic.
