This is wild!!!! AIPAC is sending letters trying to dissuade people from voting for Kat Abughazaleh, who’s running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District. Kate is originally Palestinian.

Check the bullet points 😂

I challenged a soldier of Philippine extraction re a moral patch with this symbol. His "It's not a WP symbol" denial made it clear he knew it was.

Israel continues to hold 80 Palestinian doctors and medical workers from Gaza and 15 from the occupied West Bank.

Who are the 95 Palestinian medics held captive by Israel?

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.”

Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”?

Or do they just sorta do it?

“U.S. Strikes 2nd Boat in Pacific as Antidrug Operation Expands”

2 years ago I listened to every podcast Nagle had done. This accurately, but not wholly, summarizes what I found. Natalism, racism, a desire to see universities and NGOs destroyed. Her positions are no different in substance from any other far right influencer in that time.

Nagle was feted by the right because she was willing to roll out increasingly demented attacks on socialists. On Tucker Carlson’s show she took cheap shots at DSA convention nerds; in The Lamp she repeated sleazy lies about Black Lives Matter organizers from Breitbart. The notion that she was being goaded into all of this is hard to reconcile with the fact that she had closed down her Twitter account, which for 90% of her critics meant that she ceased to exist. What really happened is that Nagle found one of the easiest and most lucrative media niches there is: left apostate.

Independent journalist Chris Hedges’ superb talk on the shocking slaughter of reporters in Gaza was banned by the National Press Club of Australia. So he delivered it to a new audience this week. Full speech can be found on YouTube

"Digitally altered image". Of 'Captain Carlton', AFL mascot, seemingly in a Sieg Heil salute.

All because 'Captain Carlton' wouldn't help raise money for genocide.

"Michele Bullock suggested we shouldn't get too worried about rising unemployment because 'employment is growing. It’s just not growing as quickly as the labour force is growing.'"

"But that is essentially the definition of rising unemployment."

It's worth checking out the amazing 49-year-old 24-year-olds that make up the staff at the architecture firm that designed the Big Box King's Throne Room where the East Wing was. The firm changed their website to be landing-page-only, but the Archive still has it:

web.archive.org/web/20250419...

A twenty-something year old white man with 1930s-style pomaded hair and an argyle bowtie, named Smithers

A twenty-something year old white man whose smile looks like he just smelled a fart

A twenty-something year old white man wearing a loud paisley tie and a large silber cross with Jesus on it

Text from the architect's website stating "What are we striving to do?

We are striving to exercise our talents to achieve works of excellence that fully participate in the ongoing development of Tradition. This embrace of history inspires our work, and we labor in the vineyard with Iktinos, Kallikrates, Vitruvius, Suger, Brunelleschi, Alberti, Michelangelo, Bramante, Borromini, Bernini, Palladio, Jefferson, Latrobe, Bacon, Richardson, Sullivan, Lutyens, McKim, Cram, and Greenberg."

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it
