My memory bank says Alexander Downer was the Foreign Minister when John Howard took us into an illegal war in Iraq.

And it has always been my opinion that Downer should in fact be standing with Howard in the dock at The Hague to answer charges of war criminality. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

Weird how no one has come up with a catch nickname for Trump like “Genocide Joe.” I guess it’s not cool now.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

I spent most of my 22-years in the Army as an aviator in and out of line units flying OH-58's and UH-60's.We lost more aircrews in peacetime training accidents than combat. It's a very dangerous business. Having the President smear them as their families are freshly mourning is unforgivable.

Every morning we wake up to more horror – but worse than that, more people who are seemingly indifferent to it. Compassion burnout is real, but it is also what power wants. Empathy keeps us human and yes, it is heavy, but it's a burden worth holding ♥️

Think about this.. for a second. Doesn't take you much time to get it!
Them? Eons.😉

Dear America,
If you're considering going "a little bit fascist" bc you're thinking it won't affect you or your loved ones, just remember the words of Martin Niemöller. Besides this, you should be concerned if they come for anyone. Even if they're different to you. 🤔 #USPolitics #oligarchy #fascism

Many thanks to @lassiewelsh.bsky.social for this print copy of Richard Flanagan's excoriating analysis of prime minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor party which was published in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. #auspol
