It's all so very Joh Bjelke-Petersen, isn't it.

Violent Police brutality under the auspices of a draconian, authoritarian regime.

You should resign in disgrace, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social. Today. #auspol #nswpol #PoliceViolence #HerzogNotWelcomeHere
Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner."

Utterly devastating. Jon Kudelka was so good and so compassionate and so funny.

*Nobody* skewered the Albanese government better.

Rest easy, Jon 💔

Dear President Herzog, To ‘reverse the brainwash’ (a Murdoch headline re your visit) please ask Netanyahu to allow full access to Gaza/West Bank for all journalists. Please explain the almost total destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure, housing, hospitals, schools + 70,000 ‘collaterally’ killed.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

What is being ‘normalised’ through politics and media is abhorrent and dangerous.

Beware the new 'normal', it might be about to bite us
Some people just like power. Those same people enjoy sowing seeds of discord that they never have to actually solve, in order to keep it.

Calling it “peace” doesn’t make it peace. When officials sell stability and opportunity atop mass death, displacement, and flattened cities, the branding collapses. This isn’t diplomacy—it’s power laundering violence and erasing the human cost in plain sight.
