Segal “threatening Australia’s freedoms and democracy”, Jewish groups warn - The Klaxon Nine Jewish organisations have labelled Envoy Jillian Segal's "Antisemitism Report" an attack on Australia's “democracy” and “freedoms”, and say it must be rejected.

Anthony Klan: “The Jewish groups — supported by more than 20 other organisations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Law Centre — say Segal’s plan risks “undermining Australia’s democratic freedoms” and “will not combat antisemitism effectively”. theklaxon.com.au/segal-threat....

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Neva a truer statement uttered...

Hillary Clinton uses the term deplorable once, and all of a sudden we have the mythological "forgotten voter." The media ran with that bullshit for a long time. White men don't have the attention on them for five minutes they whine and they cry and they blow up their own country.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him.

A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

ONE MAN WAS FIRED FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK. ANOTHER MAN WHO SAID WE SHOULD “JUST KILL” HOMELESS PEOPLE WITH AN “INVOLUNTARY LETHAL INJECTION, OR SOMETHING”, STILL HAS HIS JOB. NOTHING SAYS MORE ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF AMERICA.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

the wsj coverage of the shooter might be one of the worst and most irresponsible handlings of a story i’ve witnessed in the last 10 years

As someone who studies news media, I am so disheartened by how badly mainstream journalists have covered the Kirk murder. Rather than waiting for facts, they let Trump control the narrative, giving their platforms to him to make false, defamatory allegations towards his political opponents. Shocking

Who killed the Melissa and Mark Hortman?
Who committed the massacres in El Paso, Buffalo, and the Tree of Life synagogue?
Who incited hundreds of people to beat up cops and call for the execution of the sitting vice president?

This is Fox amplifying Trump disinformation.

I really couldn’t figure out what was so special about this Kirk dude, so I watched some of his “debates” today to try and understand. These aren’t debates, he’s often wrong, his opinions aren’t supported with law, he never relents, he talks over people and they give him more mic gain.

The Right doesn't want to believe any this. Remember the lies of violence they spread during BLM protests when the FBI said over 96% of BLM protests were peaceful? The actual violence was Rittenhouse, the MAGA Marine who drove through protesters, Hell's Angels, and the Army Sgt who shot an Airman.

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
