As America falls behind in the scientific community, TRUMP will always be remembered as the President who made America more stupid.

How in the jingle-busting fuck do we live in a world where tens of millions are getting ready to celebrate the birthday of a Palestinian baby they wouldn’t feed, clothe or save from being bombed to smithereens were he alive today?

While in Opposition, Albanese backed the Jewish community against the LNP govt who tried to undermine them by weakening hate speech laws. In govt he’s given them the strongest protections a PM has ever implemented. Anyone booing clearly listens to too much of Sky News or the AJA

Watched ABC telecast of #Bondi gathering last night. Hugely disappointing. It was not a reflection of lives tragically lost. It was a #Zionist rally that ignored 99% of Australians. #Netanyahu will be delighted.

I’m all for booing the PM at sporting events, but booing the PM at a memorial for a mass shooting is just gross.

It’s remarkable how rapidly empathy and sympathy can be lost.

How in the everloving fuck do we live in a place where most of our politicians and all our mainstream media orgs point-blank refuse to understand the vast majority of Australians are not in any way anti-Jew but are most definitely anti-Genocide?

So you’re telling me a peaceful protest against genocide triggered a man who slipped through an ASIO watch list with links to ISIS who was allowed to own 6 guns in the Premier’s state to commit murder. Sounds legit

Never forget it took less than a day for the right-wing conservative forces in Australia politics and media to turn the Bondi massacre into their own political grandstanding in order to sew division.

Contemptible.

Laura Tingle:
“I can't quite see how recognising Palestine leads to greater antisemitism, because if you think about it, it reduces the anger in the pro-Palestinian lobby I would have thought, and thus should actually reduce the temperature”

Fact: Netanyahu’s Gaza genocide incited terrorism

NSW Premier Minns believes peace protests cause people with extreme religious beliefs to shoot people with different religious beliefs.

There is no connection between these two things.

If they ban protesting, protest more.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.
Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge
There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

Watching the Epstein survivor admit that she voted for Trump really fucked with my head. The brainwashing against the left that apparently people endure from birth, must be way deeper than I ever imagined. A victim voting for a rapist, who has also been accused by 26 other women? Over a woman? WTAF?

This is Samir Zitouni.

He is currently in hospital in a stable but critical condition.

He worked on the train where people were stabbed at the weekend.

He put himself in danger, getting attacked himself, in order to save other passengers lives.

He is a hero.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - be more like Carney. #auspol
Carney: Up until now, more than 70 cents of every dollar of military capital spending by our government has gone to the United States.

With our new Defense Investment Agency, we’ll make sure we build more of our security and defense capabilities here at home
