“No one should be surprised that Trump is employing fascist tactics – prosecuting his opponents, weaponizing the federal government, and attacking the very fabric of our democracy. Trump should not be surprised when millions of Americans stand up to his authoritarianism” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Stephen Keim: @MaryKostakidis “was acting in accord with orthodox judgments and actions concerning publication made by editors and journalists around the world on a daily basis”. #auspol #ZFA

"McDonald is thus giving credence to the scurrilous charge by the ZFA that one of the best-known and most respected journalists in Australia may be guilty of racial hatred because she dared criticise actions in Gaza by the State of Israel — not the Jewish people —

ALBANESE needs to solve this issue fast

Israel detaining - indefinitely - an Australian in an Israeli jail for being part of the flotilla

The total lack of action by Albanese in the face of Israeli aggression and GENOCIDE is appalling - Labor values at work
