In Lebanon. Can hear the Israeli drone constantly now. I’ve only been back for a day but folks here deal with it 24/7, for months. It’s psychological torture. You can even see it, just flying around. The Israelis want to let everyone know that they can kill whoever they want whenever they want.

Comedy is legal again
Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Australian politics’ rich vein of irony
Hilarious that we have a govt captured by fossil fuel companies and an opposition declaring they will not deliver on our legal obligations under the Paris Agreement and we are gunning to host the next COP meeting.
I'm on the ground here in Belem at COP30. Here is a quick video of part of the performance by Wiradjuri man Benjamin Thomson and Germaine Paulson gave after a press conference yesterday morning by civil society groups pressing the case for Australia to host the conference next year.

Here's an interesting question:
If 153 Palestinians arrived in Australia from Gaza by plane, what would our Australian Labor Govt do?!
To complicate the issue, it seems Israel engineered the planeload of Gazans that arrived in South Africa, as an act of ethnic cleansing. 🤔 #auspol #FreePalestine

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
