As pro Israel, pro Netanyahu, pro Zionism cheer squad of the LNP Coalition bleats about fuel insecurity, and ignores the cause, perhaps it should reflect on its EV scare campaign about EV utes spoiling ‘tradies’ weekends.
It’s not just their weekends at stake today, it’s their livelihoods

Robodebt was the great test of Australia’s accountability mechanisms – and they failed
Meta's Australian fact-checking operations - which successfully flagged Bondi terror attack lies - are on the chopping block, following Donald Trump's America.
Two Meta execs forced to front Senate inquiry under threat of jail.
Big hit for AAP + AFP...

Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to make the Iran war work to his political advantage—but there’s a good chance he’ll fail, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues.
New reporting confirms an American Tomahawk missile destroyed the Shajarah Tayyebeh school on the last day of February.
The president earlier said he “just doesn’t know enough about it.”
MAGA is the most toxic, hollow, phony, grifty, obnoxious, fraudulent, culty, soulless political movement in US history built on lies, hate, paranoia and greed. And as it unravels, so many rats will claim they were never really on the ship.
Seriously, stuff Opening Round. Yeah, I'm a traditionalist, but AFL's got too clever by half drip feeding a season start to select markets & somehow diminishing the buzz around a new year. Just more 'content'. We should be lapping up every kick. But it feels ho-hum. #AFLSunsCats
After a year of controversies, Kristi Noem's fate was sealed over just a few days. It started with a heads-up from the Hill. https://cnn.it/4lwqasN
We should be taxing the fuckers into the ground.
War profiteering used to be a bad thing…

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

It’s been confirmed by MTN that it was America that hit the school that killed 150 children and 175 people in total in Iran.
Children. It’s always the innocent that pay the greatest price.

#Aukus is looking more dangerous for Australia every day.
An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.
May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.
I live in Melbourne and we just don’t care

We've now got blokey-dopes like Nine's Karl Stefanovic and 2GB's Ben Fordham defending Vile Kyle as a "good bloke".
So, does Jackie O get labelled:
• complicit enabler of Kyle's gross antics
• condemned as "difficult" or
• get offered her own show?
Does Kyle issue a tearful on-air apology? #radio
NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is “not really a factor here.”
Joe Neguse is just consistently better at this than anyone else, and it’s not really that close. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump found a new way to help Putin. The spike in oil prices saves Russia's economy at a key moment. It had been in desperate shape.
I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.
For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.
Here’s a link to the @thomasmayo.bsky.social piece, and a cartoon I drew at the time of the attack but which I didn’t end up filing.
FACT: Trump is a 34-count convicted felon, a rapist, a racist, a business fraudster, and now an obvious pedophile. If you support him, there is something seriously wrong with you.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
There is both an appetite and an opportunity for serious reform to improve equity, says Mark Kenny:
"For the first time in living memory, fortune now favours the electorally brave".
Seems as if Chalmers is up for it.
But does Albo remember how to do brave? #auspol
Beating by guards, not a heart attack, killed man in Mississippi prison, report shows
Melvin Cancer was killed by guards beating him inside the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, a new report shows.
Five oil supermajors have made $467bn in profit since Russia invaded Ukraine – almost enough to cover the entire cost of rebuilding Ukraine.
It’s time for governments to hold big oil accountable and push for a fossil-free future.
