PMโ€™s pragmatism on Trumpโ€™s Iran fury risks Australia following US into Operation Epic Fail | Zoe Daniels Anthony Albaneseโ€™s support for actions that do not adhere to international law stands in stark contrast to the principles demonstrated by Labor two decades ago

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Govts like Austโ€™s sit precariously as middle powers, aware of potential need for a big protector like US but at risk of following them into a spreading disaster. Carney is right to suggest that such powers should close ranks. What other option is there?

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...donโ€™t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesnโ€™t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesnโ€™t create jobs

Folks, weโ€™ve seen this all before.

Democracy will not survive without strong independent media Trump and his allies are rapidly taking over our major news outlets.

Independent media once felt like a luxury. Specialized news subscriptions that provided in-depth information, opinion and analysis were costly and time-consuming. They were purely optional, even indulgent.

That is no longer the case. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJโ€™s demands for private voter data โ€œElection officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and votersโ€™ security, regardless of partisanship,โ€ voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justiceโ€™s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

Legacy media is failing democracy. Six years ago, I decided to do something about it. I started Democracy Docket from scratch.

Today it has 400,000+ subscribers. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow. Subscribe now: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

They couldโ€™ve stopped the war, but 4 Democrats helped Republicans. The purpose of a party is what it does.

Jan Fran and Antoinette look at the Australian mediaโ€™s coverage of the U.S and Israeli attack on Iran and show how a narrative gets set in the first 24-48 hours.

Indigenous Australians share the racist messages they receive online: โ€˜No oneโ€™s feeling safeโ€™ Australia has announced an inquiry into racism and hate directed at First Nations people, as Lidia Thorpe says racism has โ€˜never been this badโ€™

Important read about the incredibly ugly racist hate, abuse & threats Indigenous Australians get

"Many noted a marked uptick in violent rhetoric since the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023."

โ€œA lot of people in general feel really comfortable being racist.โ€ 1/

Jamie Raskin like many other members of Congress is visibly shaken after viewing the redacted Epstein files that are extremely disturbing because they show extremely young children in them. Raskin says that Donald J Trumpโ€™s name is all over them. Americans deserve the truth! ๐Ÿคฌ

A while ago Trump paused its Ukraine aid to ensure it contributes to a solution. The order remains until Trump determines Ukraineโ€™s commitment to peace negotiations with Russia. Meanwhile, Putin gives Iran intelligence to target our troops. Perhaps Trump should reconsider helping Ukraine more. ๐Ÿ”„

Lame reporting from NY Times. Doesn't mention crucial fact that safety of flights depends on an agreement between Gulf States and Iran. Comparable to deals with Houthis for transit through Red Sea.

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation.

We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.

Who Will Lead the Dems to the Promised Land of a New Israel Policy? Itโ€™s clear the Democratic Party rank and file demands a new position on Israel. Thereโ€™s one candidate, or maybe two, who can best answer that call, if they choose to.
