AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s “huge humanitarian caseload.”
Spot on, Ben!

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 Trump’s 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 👇 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 Lebanon’s 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.

The House Oversight Committee voted 24–19 to subpoena AG Pam Bondi about the DOJ investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

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 🇦🇺 gas are about to make windfall profits after strikes on Iran & we have no plan to capture that value for 🇦🇺
To fix this, we need a 25% tax on gas exports that would raise billions of💲of revenue & ensure that when prices rise, 🇦🇺 benefits

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

"US military commanders have been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical “end times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops, according to complaints made to a watchdog group."

Q: Was there a plan in place to evacuate Americans before the attack?
MARCO RUBIO: That's the plan we're trying to carry out. The problem is airspace closures.
