Australia: where you can go to prison for saying #RiverToTheSea but boo at a 60 thousand year old Indigenous culture and completely get away with it. Disgraceful.
Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought
He seems to be doing this quite a bit lately. Don't like my invitation on your behalf, of someone linked to genocide? Too bad. Police too violent? Naaah. Protest? Nuh. Not acting on review findings? So? Unhappy to be affiliated with facist USA? I'm not. 😒 We see you Albo. You're a disappointment.

Bridie (EBK)@emergencybk.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis man was arrested in Australia today for being an ‘agitator’ for yelling ‘shame’ at a passing Israel President Herzog, on the basis it ‘incited fear’ - FFS! This is totally fucked, our draconian & worsening anti-protest laws are what’s shameful. #Auspol #FreePalestine #HerzogNotWelcome ✊🪧✌️💜
Our government crossed a line by inviting a war criminal - they can’t uncross it.
Jon Kudelka was not just the creator of the best tea towel in Australian history, and a great cartoonist and artists, but he was a superb friend, incredible husband and dad. Goddamn I will miss him
The share of Americans who disapprove of ICE tactics in polls: 60+ percent New York Times: “it’s really too complicated to say whether Americans approve of ICE killing Renee Good or not”
Penny’s really looking forward to welcoming Isaac Herzog, though.
AIPAC Tracker@trackaipac.com · 7mo agoIsrael should be expelled from the UN. This week, Israeli forces stormed and destroyed the UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem after forcing UN staff out at gunpoint. This is a sustained attack on the primary international agency keeping Palestinian refugees alive.

Amazing when you have a system that lets the private sector deliver a public service it gets rorted. Grog’s Rule: When you privatise public services be sure to also allocate space in a few years for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system.

“Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending. … I don’t know if that’s possible.” - @durbin.senate.gov to Danes in Europe. Can the Senate Dems sound any more limp, facile and impotent to Europeans across the Atlantic?
![Punchbowl screenshot
“COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A bipartisan group of lawmakers who traveled here on an urgent mission to reassure Danish leaders amid President Donald Trump’s escalating threats to acquire Greenland had a straightforward message.
In an interview between high-level meetings, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin summed it up this way: “Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending.”
Durbin added: “I don’t know if that’s possible.”
The four-decade veteran of Congress, who’s been on dozens of CODELs, wasn’t just referring to Trump’s apparent determination to take over the Danish territory at all costs, or Republicans’ hesitation to openly defy him. Durbin was giving a sobering assessment of Congress as a supposedly coequal branch of government.
Over the span of several decades and under the leadership of both parties, lawmakers have ceded their authority to the executive branch on everything from war powers to tariffs to the power of the purse. Hill leaders have prioritized avoiding politically difficult votes or been slow to react – or done nothing – as presidents repeatedly pushed the limits of their own power at the expense of Congress.
“It’s not just this moment or this president,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who co-led the delegation. “What makes this moment so hard is, if Congress can’t stand up in the face of something where there is no strategic value and lots of strategic harm…is Congress really willing to exert its authority at all?”
That’s what made this particular CODEL so uniquely difficult — and surreal.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cf26plxwia7dxpm6plry3sj2/bafkreibjseyx4567lbf33ldoqqe66czitqhdzl7ppsi4s3swrfyo6dtwsu)
Australian officials are currently trying to scheme up ways to sneak the president of Israel into the country for a visit without him getting confronted by massive anti-genocide protests. Read that again. When you are doing things like this, you're on the wrong side of history.
The world is being held hostage to the whims of the smallest micro man who has ever walked on this earth.

to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

1. These are concentration camps, whose purpose is ethnic cleansing and state terror. 2. Democrats not calling to abolish ICE are complicit with fascists. 3. Any govt who fails to condemn the Trump regime's behaviour at home and abroad is complicit with fascists. That's you @albomp.bsky.social.
Adam Parkhomenko@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

This is remarkable. More remarkable in light of current events is that the Australian government has not updated this since 19 November. Compare this with some of the places the Australian government ranks as requiring a high degree of caution. Total negligence and cowardice.
If Greens support this fascistic bill and enshrine Zionist capture, it will destroy them. Your voters will see sellouts and cowards caving on our liberties because you're not up for the fight. Because you're scared of getting yelled at in the newspapers. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social
Imagine a political ideology so evil, so despised, so racist and murderous, so globally unpopular - but also so entrenched in Western establishment depravity - that your government (with the opposition), would seek to make criticism and protest of it illegal. Imagine that.
@senatorwong.bsky.social still think it’s a great idea to invite Herzog here do you?
James Hughes@dystopian-fashion.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe Israeli military is reportedly planning to restart intensive military operations in Gaza in March, targeting Gaza City.
