I made an ad for the October 18 #NoKings events for @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social, and it's coming out on Monday.

Should I be worried? 😃

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Remind me which party started an insurrection? Which party won’t engage in gun reform? Which one build concentration camps? Which is engaged in extra judicial killings of boats in international waters? M

Western media reports on
Israeli hostages ; Palestinian prisoners
Israeli 'operations'; Hamas attacks
And neglects to use the word illegal when referring to Israel's actions:
Illegal occupation of Palestine
Illegal settlements in the West Bank
Illegal blockade of Gaza

In the world of 'One Battle After Another', lyrics have revolutionary power. Paul Thomas Anderson weaves a motif from Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” through his film, revealing its radical empathy that is touching, and at times devastating. satpa.pe/DK6lXQ8

The sounds of revolution in One Battle After Another

Paul Thomas Anderson’s gripping One Battle After Another positions music as a force against fascism.

There's 1000s of posts from Americans on social media stating "No foreign military bases here"

Well, Yanks, put ya money where ya mouth is. Leave Pine Gap, leave all your international bases around the world and fuck off. Otherwise, bad luck.

If it's OK for Yanks to do to other nations ... then?

Then close all other US military facilities in Australia and send every Yank troop back to MAGATLAND.

Don;t like foreign military bases on your own soil, hey Yanks? Too right, so, how about you fuck off from many other nations first.

I note Americans are upset that Qatar, a foreign nation, may get an Air Force base in the USA.

Stop whinging Yanks. We've got your (American) Pine Gap facility, US Air Force bases here and Yank troops down under and have done since 1944>.

If you don't like a foreign defence force having bases ...

🌱 I have problems with earwigs this year which seemed to adore the columnar apples and have taken bites near the pedicels. What’s your trick in keeping them away? This is the first time I’ve seen them bother the fruits.

Aboriginal land rights are the biggest impediment to mining expansion, approval.

That’s why Advance, News Corp and $billionaires canvassed so hard against any recognition of FNP.

Then Dutton tried to ‘other’ FNP, remove flag, smoking ceremonies, recognition of country, presence. #auspol
