Just in case you have forgotten anything they have done over the last 10 months
I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

If a Bondi royal commission were to take any evidence that touched on the shooters or the shooting while a criminal case was live, it would be committing sub judice contempt of court.
But that doesn't seem to bother royal commission advocates.

The great @johncusack.bsky.social on why news organizations shouldn't paywall FOIA-based reporting: "Paywalls don’t just limit readership, they create kind of a tiered citizenry, where one group can afford to know what the government is doing in their name and the other can’t."
John Cusack wants to talk about paywalls.
The movie star says that by selling their public-records-based reporting, news outlets are compromising one of journalism’s essential civic roles.

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop.
His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

One of the obvious concerns about the administration's killing spree at sea was that if the US government would lawlessly kill people on the high seas just because the administration spuriously labeled them as "terrorists", it might do so elsewhere—including in the United States.

Despite everything we’ve seen over the past two years, this is probably the most shameful episode in Australian media history/ political collusion.
The lead story on the SMH is Albanese’s political opponent, who lost his seat, trying to force the government to back his own pick for a RC. Madness.

If the United States Constitution doesn’t protect you from a federal agent shooting you in the face for the “crime” of turning your car around, it doesn’t exist. ICE has become a paramilitary force with zero oversight and a Secretary in Kristi Noem who encourages the chaos. ENOUGH.

It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

Labor group urges Albanese to rescind invitation to Israeli president Isaac Herzog
Friends of Palestine has criticised the decision to invite Israel’s head of state to Australia in a sign of further strain within the Labor movement
A group of rank-and-file Labor Party members has urged the Albanese government to rescind its invitation for Israeli president Isaac Herzog to visit Australia, voicing outrage over his country’s military bombardment of Gaza.
In signs of further strain inside the Labor movement over the war in the Middle East and the response to the Bondi antisemitic terror attack, the Labor Friends of Palestine group said that, if Herzog does travel to Australia, federal police should investigate him for his role in what they alleged was incitement of genocide – an outcome international law experts say is unlikely to occur.
