Having demonstrated to all their neighbours that host US bases that they can strike their homelands if they allow the US to launch attacks on Iran. It's now up to these countries to decide if they will side with the US, and suffer the consequences or stand up for themselves and expel the "occupiers"

If you follow me here, and when I check your account and it's all about you. No re-"tweets", no comments on others, no likes of what others are saying.
Well, it's goodbye I'm afraid.

Maybe it's because doing so would fall foul of the new hate speech laws.

ABC News social media post, shows two medical people in full hazmat outfits with the head line "What you need to know about India's Nipah virus outbreak".

ABC News social media post, shows two medical people in full hazmat outfits with the head line "What you need to know about India's Nipah virus outbreak".

An example of the subtle use of language to #FrameTheBlame, this headline could have been written differently, but the way they have done it implies the virus is "India's" fault.
Could have been "What you need to know about the Nipah virus outbreak in India".
Done deliberately.

Jerry Thornton on X: "This is going to stick with me forever https://t.co/avH02B8had" / X This is going to stick with me forever https://t.co/avH02B8had

I wish I had listened to the "olds" more when I was young. It's all over far to quickly.
What ever it is, do it now, say it now, be bold, you may not get another chance.

This post copies a Twitter post. The original X post says, "Hamas commander previously declared dead by Israel reemerges in Gaza". which is reposted with the comment, "bad new for Israel, the last time a Palestinian came back from the dead they made a whole ass religion out of it"

From the other, most hated site, this tweet is very good though.

I'm not sure they are, it works differently here.
I still see plenty of Palestinian support here.

Single panel editorial cartoon titled What People Are Not Talking About. A couple sitting having coffee reading the papers, the Lib Nat split all over them. One says, β€œSo, they get around 28% of the seats in the house”, the other says, β€œYep . . . but still around 90% of the news cycle”, the dog lying at their feet think, β€œAnd the cartoons   dammit”.

Cartoon- scene in Gaza. A mother holds onto her two children as they huddle under a bit of broken building. 
Mother: Let's just close our eyes and pretend this isn't happening.
Daughter: Do you think it'll help?
Mother: Well, it seems to make the rest of the world feel better.

Zelenskyy leaves White House early after fiery meeting with Trump, who claims Ukrainian leader isn’t ready for peace – live Press conference between US and Ukraine leaders cancelled and no minerals deal signed after angry scenes in White House; European leaders stand behind Zelenskyy

I have never seen anything like this is my life. This is America bullying Ukraine in real time in front of the media.

A political cartoon where Trump stabs Zelenskyy in the back while he boxes with Putin.

A political cartoon where Trump stabs Zelenskyy in the back while he boxes with Putin.

One of the hosts of @radiowarnerd.bsky.social said just the other day that they expected to see democrats doing a β€œstabbed in the back” narrative about Ukraine’s chances in the war and there we go the political cartoonists are already at it.

Political cartoon. 

Trump and Zelenskyy are on a stage each behind a podium. Trump stands in front of red "T" banners and is wearing a military uniform with gold epaulets and 15 large medals. The medals have slogan buttons instead of coins that say things like Russian Asset, Worships Putin, Admires Xi, no rights, no education, White Nationalism, Project 2025. Trump's pointing accusingly at Zelenskyy, shouting, "He's a Dictator!" Zelenskyy, in olive drab T-shirt, just sighs and looks sad and tired of this.

Single panel editorial cartoon titled The Response. At the top of the page text - β€˜INVASION. CARNAGE. PLEAS. RESPONSE.’  Ukraine President Zelenskyy looks out at us wearily, a baby’s rattle has been thrown from the right and bounced off his head, he has not reacted. The rattle is in the colours of the US flag.

A man and a woman having a race. The man has a relatively clear path with two hurdles and the woman’s path is filled with obstacles and dangers and she is wearing a ball chained to her ankle.

The root of the problem, education.
And it's why the right wing side of politics want to cut back on public education, it's a deliberate strategy. They only want you to be able to shout "come on Brenda".

If you think we're immune from what's happening in the US you haven't been paying attention

Dutton will have the backing of the Trump/Musk regime, the billionaires, and the collaborationist media

It *is* coming here.
