“Both are getting kids killed.” Parkland survivor @davidhogg.bsky.social compares AIPAC to the NRA on CNN
You can speak ill of the dead when, while alive, they spoke and caused ill, of so many others. You don’t have to mourn monsters.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.
Today, two (two!) men ran sub two-hour marathons for the first time in human history and the news is nowhere to be found on the ESPN or Sports Illustrated home pages. One of the greatest feats in sports history and it’s less important than the final round of the NFL Draft.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.
Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥
This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now
Kesha denounces the White House’s usage of her song ‘Blow’ for a TikTok video of bombings: “I absolutely do NOT approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind… don't let this distract us from the fact that criminal predator Donald Trump appears in the Files over a million times.”
I remember how the “shock and awe” of the US attack on Iraq ended in decades of broken cities, broken people and broken promises. Trump’s and Netanyahu’s bombs today can only produce more of this in Iran. Australia must reject this illegal attack.
Khanna: I think that there was some sexism in the way Secretary Clinton was treated. She was treated worse than President Clinton was treated.
Very true - but that’s what happens when you ain’t doing anything else worth talking about. Labor’s complete lack of meaningful activity is why we spend every week talking about immigration, Hanson and whatever dumb shit Albanese also said to Karl Stefanovic
One word unravels Albanese's week
The prime minister was this week evacuated from the Lodge over a bomb threat and later got stuck in a tit-for-tat with a former Australian of the Year.

Supporting removing Prince Andrew from the line of succession is good but what would be better is removing Australia from an inherited dynasty of wealth and privilege that protected him and his class for far too long
We'll say it again: "social cohesion", to those who chant it, means maintenance of the status quo which privileges them, and silencing of everyone else. In the mouth of a Labor MP, it is an expression of the deepest hypocrisy.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?
While the dictionary may suggest that terrorism is when anyone uses unlawful violence for political means, many understand that the application of the term becomes impacted by 'other factors'... chaser.com.au/general-news...
"This wasn't my plan for the bill, but it has been magical to watch" - Albanese chaser.com.au/national/con...
Australia needs to seriously come to terms with how much the Labor Party fucking sucks
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
“It’s like half of y’all ain’t never seen Star Wars or a Disney movie. How do you not know which side to root on?”
Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society. It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.
This is a terrible mistake, borne of laziness and cowardice, and will be one of Anthony Albanese's longest lasting and most destructive legacies. Considering how we teach the Holocaust is one thing; entrenching pro-Israel ideology in our education system is a whole other thing.
Genocidists claiming this is a result of Australia recognising Palestinian statehood should sit this one out and be told unequivocally to fuck right off
