Trump’s attack on George Soros is the next step in the autocrat’s handbook | Kenneth Roth Having already attacked judges, lawyers, media companies and universities, the president has set his sights on civil society

Trump's attacks on civil society are clearly part of the authoritarian playbook.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social this is just our ‘ally’, someone your govt says we share values with, sending troops into his own city with authorisation to use full force on his own citizens for a made up war zone.

How can you stand with this lunacy and ask for our vote ever again?

The Australian: tool of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship? In February, leading figures at Australia's only national broadsheet, Rupert Murdoch's prize masthead, went to the ARC conference in London. The newspaper gave many column inches to celebrate it.

#Auspol Find out about the creepy Alliance for Responsible Citizenship where Andrew Hastie sits on the Board with John Howard & Tony Abbott. International gang including MAGA congresspeople. Christian Nationalist. Pro fossil fuel. Not sure if AH went in Feb but… open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

I'm sure I'm the eleventy millionth person to point this out but if the Rapture lifts all the hardcore evangelicals up to heaven and they're totally happy about it while the rest of us just get to stay down here and carry on without them it's a win-win situation. #GoTheRapture

That weird family friend, known as "uncle" you have to avoid at any family do. Just a creep.

Oughtism

A chronic condition where there are things you ought to do, like respect the science on medicine and climate change, but don’t because you’re a corrupt, selfish, greedy evil fuckwit.
See Donald Trump and RFK Jr

Says the crank.

Since when has RW opinion ever been censored? I give you Libs, Nats & any number of media blowhards & opinionistas. It's a fun day when we don't have to see or hear from any of them.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

“I saw this video on YouTube on how to hypnotise chickens and I thought I’d give it a try. Seems to be working”

UN investigators say Israel is committing genocide, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, blocking aid, and deliberately creating unliveable conditions.

Every hour of silence = more lives lost.

Governments must act.

#StopTheGenocide

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

Splashing red paint on a building gets a breathless, urgent PM press conference, an aNtiSeMiTiSm eNvOy, saturation reporting and new "hate" laws.

Racists violently attacking a group of First Nations gets you 🙉🙈🙊.

Right, @albomp.bsky.social? #auspol #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBeAboriginalLand

And paying him $2mill to boot!

Good morning Bridie. Great to see beginnings of Spring about as well as a bit of spring in you. Have a great day. ❤️

Wishing you well, Bridie.

Everything about this man has a 💯 cringe, ick factor. Wouldn't it be amazing if he just disappeared. #liarliar

I've been working on story about the toxic algal bloom spreading off the South Australian coast. I just went back and looked at how hot the waters off the coast of Australia were getting starting in September 2024. Here's the visual:

Shamed.

Nasser Mashni calls out typical hasbara from Western media wherein claiming "impartiality" is code for inserting pro-Israel propaganda and bias.

More of this, please. Much, much more. #GazaGenocide #WesternMediaComplicity

It'll be difficult for him to get his face up on Mt Rushmore. That's a certainty.

I can't believe we've known these things about him for several years now (the photos convict if nothing else), and yet, here we are as if everything is breaking news.

What? Jake the peg diddle-iddle-iddle-dum

With each post, the Whitehouse proves itself to have dropped to be the most pathetic office of POTUS ever. The collective brains are mush.

We look forward to accurate media coverage 👏

Agreed, absolutely. I'm not missing anything by not turning TV news from any station, it appears.
