This is reassuring to many of us outside the US as we have no feeling for what is happening on the ground. We assume the tables must be turning but the US appears so bizarro now it’s hard to make assumptions

Israel has to stop killing and mutilating kids. It is now the international pariah state bar none.

Extraordinary!!! And this reaction is a bit much β€œThe terrifying truth is that there is no safe space left. Not at synagogues, not in schools, not even in the joy of a family milestone”. How do you think Palestinians are feeling being bombed in their own houses, schools, hospitals etc…

So true. The ALP needs to stand for something. They need to show some initiative and control the narrative. Currently they’re just a big nothing

Yes… language matters. Israel is certainly using Palestinians it has detained without charge or due process for bargaining purposes. Maybe captives is best in both cases

#FreePalestine
2yrs after the Oct 7 crimes against Israeli civilians, Israel's most lethal aggression against the Palestinians continues, causing unspeakable suffering.
Violence won’t end if States facilitate illegal occupation, apartheid, and now genocide, as they have done for the past 58yrs.

Senior conservative cautions Liberals quietly pushing to split the party In a major address to his party, James Paterson says "marginal" voices agitating for the Liberal party to split must be kept on the sidelines, cautioning it would spell "disaster".

Promising signs that the hypnosis of the duopoly is weakening. The fracturing opposition is evidence that adversarial politics is not doing it for #auspol any more. Its juvenile theatre without substance. Real politics is all about negotiation, not schoolyard fights.

Trump's peace plan shows Netanyahu has outmanoeuvred yet another American president Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has outmanoeuvred yet another American president.

John Lyons: β€œThe presence next to these 2 of leader of one of the Arab nations-Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt-would have given the proposal much-needed credibility in the Arab world.

Instead of being a peace deal, in my assessment, this is more of a hostage deal.”

It’s an outrage that *any* public money goes to private schools. A true governmental disgrace.

Why should people who can’t afford private schools be funding rich people who can? It’s so backward.

This reveals the core mechanism that they intend to use to control everyone... through coercive fear that what ever we do and say could be used against. AI gives them the power to correlate and use huge amount of data that they've collected (or stolen) from us. Scary

They can’t claim that LMMs (that aggregate existing all existing knowledge) are biased. It’s the same as claiming the result of a fairly conducted election is biased. It is what it is. The idea that they think they can mess with this is terrifying

The sleeping giant is awakening After a week of authoritarian excess, the nation is turning on Trump

On a hopeful (and hopefully not premature) note. Comparing T***p now to the demise of Joe McCarthy "McCarthy melted almost as quickly as the Wicked Witch of the West. His national popularity evaporated". open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

680,000 Palestinians have now been murdered in Gaza by Israel. That is 1/3rd of the population.

They lie that it is not a genocide. Anyone that says otherwise is a holocaust denier.

Anthony Albanese left off Donald Trump meeting schedule in New York The Australian prime minister appears to have failed to secure a bilateral with the US president on his visit to the UN general assembly in New York

This is very good news. Meeting Trump is a bad idea that never helps anyone or any country. Stay as far away from the fetid, racist, sex pest as you can.
