How can we sleep when our threads are burning?

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

I don’t understand the first thing about rugby league so I choose not to comment, apart from this comment. #NRLStormBroncos

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Seriously, nothing has been learnt from the really costly Antoinette Lattouf saga. 🙄

America is currently a giant experiment to see how long we can keep stuffing a year's worth of news and outrage into every single day before everyone's heads explode

Thank goodness the US has a man restoring dignity to the Presidency!

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . .

Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s.

What an idiot.

One day the Speers led #insiders panel might seriously discuss the dangers of upholding an alliance with a Trump led authoritarian regime with its erratic, irrational, whim and vengeance based world outlook. What we’ll get though is more froth and bubble about a ‘meeting’ with the mad king. 🙄

These ICE freaks wouldn’t last two seconds if they took on actual gangs. Instead they bully people who can’t defend themselves, they’re deputised Proud Boy cowards.

Sure, you could start with a citizens arrest. 🙄

Over on Xitter they’re trying to get the US to punish Aussies for their views on Charlie Kirk. 🙃

Conservatives are being shot by conservatives who think they are not conservative enough. 🫡

Sure is a sit show right now!

Anybody get the feeling the world has been a pretty rocky boat lately and if it rocks any harder the whole thing is going to capsize?

I have this album. Superb.

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Good question, seems to have slipped away like Captain Birds Eye but to be honest I haven’t been looking too hard.

It's weird seeing white Australians marching & claiming that unchecked immigration is destroying the Australian way of life, but none of them are volunteering to go back to England.

simply incredible content

The JCA is just a brilliant organisation. Doing great work at no small risk to their livelihoods, given the pressure from other groups against speaking against the action of Israel’s govt.

Neo-Nazi Tom Sewell now speaking at the Melbourne racist and Nazi rally.

Despite their protestations that the NSN would not be involved, not one of the "organisers" has attempted to stop him speaking.

cookers are at the nazi rally in adelaide

Thought and prayers until it is confirmed

Is Trump dead? Who knows in this post-truth world.

It's easily intelligible, but still mildly perturbing, that Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism has said nothing about the National Socialist Network & the March for (White) Australia.

(I don't think this silence is a good way to Advance combating antisemitism, racism or xenophobia.)

Mask off moment for the real intention (not that there was any doubt to begin with) of #marchforaustralia. The absolute state of this cnut. 😡

1/ The nazis have announced the putative locations for their anti-migrant march for white australia ...

Blowing up your small-town writers festival because your local university needs to crack down on free speech because there’s a genocide we can’t talk about is so utterly on-brand for Australian culture. Cowards and fools 3-deep at the canapés tray
