They've stopped people from using drugs safely.

It's time to legalise *and* regulate.

I think this is representative of fossil-fuelled weather extremes reportage not just in Aus but in many countries, where (a) the cause, fossil fuels, is simply never mentioned and (b) the change is treated as essentially inevitable and un-mitigatable, all that's left is figuring out how to 'adapt'

Seems like pretty big news that the biggest Republican donor in 2024 — who helped elect Trump & Vance — repeatedly made plans to visit Epstein's island.

Especially when you recall the various abuse allegations he faces — or how his website has been mass generating sexual content, including of kids.

The Tesla and Twitter boss lied about his relationship with the pedophile financier, according to new emails released by the Department of Justice.

More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.

It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.

All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

And then there’s this shameless garbage from Albanese, repeating the tired line that “people don’t want conflict brought here” while literally inviting the president of the “conflict” here. The utter contempt these people have for Australians is so glaring.

he is the political head of a foreign power, not a spiritual or pastoral leader of Judaism. This visit is by definition about zionist allegiance to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.

“In order to grieve, we need this genocidal cretin and president of apartheid Israel to visit, we simply can’t otherwise” is an absurd and obscene demand. Literally trying to use the dead to normalise a war criminal. As usual, there is zero self-awareness as to what this reveals about their values.
somebody please organise an opportunity for that community to grieve.

Another banger from Jonathan Guyer, who's been on the USAID-Gaza beat for a few years.

If anyone wonders why I really, really hate Joe Biden and his administration? It's because I had to work for them on Gaza. They're evil, evil people who deserve prison.

From Israeli media, Herzog's visit has "the aim of boosting the resilience of Australian Jewry and strengthening ties with Australia".

As an Australian of Jewish descent, the worst thing I can think of to support local Jews is a state visit from a genocide enthusiast.
