It’s a pretty unremarkable cartoon. Must be some wretched soft cocks running the paper these days. If I was the editor I’d be calling in all the cartoonists and telling them I wanted a new illo everyday telling these whiny cunts to fuck off.

Pay attention @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

This was your warning from the tyrant’s own mouth.

End the alliance for the love of all things decent or we will end your government.
Reporter at Trump presser, "Why does the US need to own Greenland when we already have bases there?" Trump replied, "We will defend Greenland differently when we own it instead of just having bases there..."

What good is a US treaty if their defence plans are so fickle?

“The moral spinelessness in not only seeking to silence Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, but to link the cancellation to the abhorrent terrorist attack in Bondi, speaks volumes over who is allowed to have a voice in Australia."

You know, in a normal world, a Jewish programming director inviting a Palestinian author to speak would be celebrated as a positive example of this “social cohesion” thing.

But I guess it’s only “social cohesion” if an Arab woman is being battered and smeared by News Corp.

If I was advising the EU—and I 100% should be—my advice is that you prepare three sets of sanction packages:
1. Deliberate targeting of personal/corporate assets of Trump, Musk, Andressen, Sacks, etc like they’re Russian oligarchs by doing stuff like seizing Gigafactory Berlin. This gets used first.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

There are people being attacked on LinkedIn, even having threats made to their jobs for defending Cathy's work. The level of hysteria amongst these people is out of all proportion. They piled on to Sarah Ferguson and Laura Tingle too, and now they've set their sights on the royal commissioner.

Not one person has lost their job or been forced to apologise for supporting Israel’s genocide.

You can support the mass murder of Muslims & you will never be in danger of losing your job in media or politics or the arts or business or education.

Suggest Israel are wrong, & you will be targeted.

The Royal Commission absolutely needs to examine the malignant influence the Israeli govt and its lobbyists have on Australian media (and government policy)

The more aggressively the Zionists try to stomp out criticism of Israel the more necessary it is to aggressively criticize Israel. Now we're not just opposing genocidal atrocities, we're also opposing an assault on our own civil rights.

"killing of protesters, use of violence, arbitrary arrests and intimidation tactics"

Here I thought Penny Wong was about to rebuke Trump's ICE agents. No, no. She's rebuking Iran. Wong hasn't posted ANY criticism of Trump re #Venezuela, #Greenland or #Minneapolis. 🙄 #auspol

Antisemitism crisis. What is real and what is not - Michael West
Anthony Albanese has announced a Royal Commission into the Bondi Attacks and antisemitism. Is Australia's antisemitism crisis exaggerated?

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

“.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

“.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

It’s just extraordinary that the Australian government is still approving new fossil fuel projects. We are deep into a terrifying climate crisis and they need to start acting like it.
