Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.

"While the pro-Israel lobby has captured US decision-making ...in Trumpβs case, it has done so by wrapping Israeli interests around a neoconservative vision of American global power."
Australians deserve a full account of how our foreign affairs decisions have been captured by US & Israel lobbies.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
don't worry, Australia is on the way to make sure no more civilian deaths happen in this war.
Wait, I'm being handed a note.
Here's the joke Trump's suing Trevor Noah for. Lets give it the Streisand effect!

The Lebanese government says more than 500,000 people have been displaced since the Israeli military issued evacuation warnings for villages in the country's south.

Hopefully staffers put this under the noses of Albanese, Wong, Marles, and Taylor. Simon Tisdall lays out what Trumpist America is. Labor and Coalition leaders say we share values with the USA. Bullshit! Leave AUKUS now. Trump is Australia's enemy as well. #auspol #AUKUS
βIf the US is at war, Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. If the US is not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer.β
This white supremacist psychopath is indeed "a very dangerous person".
Australia's 'alliance' with the Trump regime means we have a very dangerous govt.

AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a dayβ being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the worldβs βhuge humanitarian caseload.β

Incredibly angry about this every day.
The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trumpβs eyes.
Wonder why that is?
The Foreign Minister @senatorwong.bsky.social lied in the senate yesterday when she claimed the Iranian vessel torpedoed by the US was "preparing to strike."
The ship that was sunk in the Indian Ocean was unarmed and full of training officers. The attack was a war crime.
Resign, Penny. #auspol
Penny Wong, Richard Marles and Anthony Albanese stand shoulder to shoulder in their full support for Netanyahu and Trump's illegal invasion of Iran.
What depravity Australian politics is in.
Wong, Marles & Albanese have all voiced their full support for Netanyahu and Trump's illegal attack on Iran.
The Labor Party no longer supports international law. Sad times.
Do these 3 π despicable politicians really represent us?

States should immediately and publicly condemn these acts and put pressure on Israel to stop its military from moving forward with its displacement order for Beirut's southern suburbs.

Only yesterday, the Israeli military called for the evacuation of the entire area south of the Litani River, approximately 8% of Lebanonβs territory and home to hundreds of thousands of people.
Today, they issued displacement orders for all residents of the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Last year, 50 Australians were serving on US attack submarines, and that number was on the rise.
The Albanese Government must answer whether Australian troops were used in this attack.
If we don't want to be involved in this war, withdraw Australian troops.

A trend is not a trend if no one follows it. Women are not mindless fashion victims. We have power and can say no to this BS. I was a young girl during Women's lib in the 70s when we rebelled against being told what to wear and how to look. It's time we taught our daughters the same lessons.

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Gas companies that export π¦πΊ gas are about to make windfall profits after strikes on Iran & we have no plan to capture that value for π¦πΊ
