As we said, the country would be destroyed, thousands killed, and the US further embroiled in the Middle East - for nothing!

"The light on the hill never promised comfort. It promised obligation. It demanded clarity precisely when clarity carried risk. It assumed conflict and required courage. It asked governments to disturb settled arrangements when those arrangements entrenched injustice." #auspol
When Territory & Federal govts nominate, approve & install a racist, bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic, chauvinistic NT Administrator, what message do you imagine is being conveyed/reinforced to the community❓️

I don't think this is a long term conflict. Trump doesn't have the attention span nor the resilience to withstand public disapproval or economic pain. What concerns me is that events spiral out of control as a result of Iranian retaliation.
Greens.
The rapid increase in their support in the UK shows what may be possible in Australia.
And the other obvious question:
when will there be a parliamentary debate on Australia's involvement in this Trump-Netanyahu disaster?
ICYMI
Amy Remeikis was 🎯 yesterday in this piece.
With Penny Wong just flagging Australian direct military involvement in the Trump-Netanyahu illegal war against Iran, now even more relevant. #auspol
Every Australian journalist worthy of the job title must interrogate the Australian government on the risks of getting directly involved in an out-of-control military conflict initiated illegally by the fickle fascist in the White House, and his genocidal ally. #auspol

omg, nailed
“Albanese’s enthusiasm to get back on the fascist genocide train shows he has no concern about backlash from the opposition
…but every day he’s losing support from the Labor base.” @davemilbo.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol
Is "defensive military assistance" like
"non-lethal components" for F-35s? #auspol

Nothing "dignified" about a baseball-capped buffoon who is responsible for their pointless deaths.

I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look — he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.
When historians write the inevitable avalanche of books about the response of American people and institutions to the Trump regime,
"Ritual Humiliation" has to be one of the titles.
Images of an old silver 1999 Toyota Corolla for sale
You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do: Vote: yes
Consent to sex: yes Rent a car: it IS a car This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-
When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine." Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location
Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

In which ex-Murdoch hack, now ABC "chief digital political correspondent" Clare Armstrong uses several hundred words to say almost nothing.
While skirting around the fact that the Australian govt has locked us into a dangerous 'alliance' with a fickle fascist regime committing war crimes. #auspol
“You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun, with bombs... Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan?”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how the Iran war mirrors the 2003 Iraq invasion, emphasizing how Trump doesn't care about the Iranian people on ‘All In With Chris Hayes.’
Hearts and minds.
In Albanese's response to the illegal US-Israeli war, "political pragmatism is the guiding principle".
No, Zoe Daniel. "Pragmatism" is a pathetic excuse for:
- abandoning principles
- sycophancy to Trump
- the #AUKUS disaster
- leadership failure to push for an independent foreign policy. #auspol
Thread about who has met the most evil person. Mary Trump wins.
