Two masters of integrity-free, accountability-free politics Two masters of sacrificing public interest in service of private interests

Arresting people for saying words that contain no slurs or derogatory language because the leadership of a nation that is committing a genocide and has way too much influence on policy takes offence shows Australia is sliding into decay.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

Netanyahu being on Trump's so-called "Board of Peace" is a very good reason for Albanese to have nothing to do with it. What a disgusting genocide-washing sham.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Just saw an article in the SMH about how to avoid big crowds at a popular National Park in the USA. Under Trump, I'm surprised there's big crowds at any tourist attraction. I sure as hell wouldn't visit under the regime.

Criticising Israel isn't antisemitism. Conflating criticism of Zionism with antisemitism while killing Palestinians and illegally occupying their land is the crime here. There are plenty of Jewish people who recognise that injustice, and those who stand up for peace are heroes.

Antisemitic attacks are bad. Anti-Muslim attacks are just as bad. Why the concentration on one and not the other if not for racism? Because unless both (and all forms of racism) are addressed equally there is going to be a feeling of victimisation which will simply fuel further division.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Netanyahu does for antisemitism what Colonel Sanders does for chicken sales. The attack at Bondi beach was despicable. The October 7 Attacks were despicable. The genocide of Palestinians by the IDF under Netanyahu and his predecessors is despicable. Those three things are not mutually exclusive.

The government has to step up to the plate and give free counseling to anyone who was present at the Bondi Shooting. Therapy within days will reduce the severity of PTSD .

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

In Donald Trump’s America, you can be a lying, corrupt politician or corporate goon and count on a pardon. But if you’re a hardworking immigrant who’s done nothing wrong, you can expect to be harassed and beaten by masked thugs enforcing this administration’s vile immigration policies. Shameful.

In years to come, the only legacy Trump will have left on this world will be the adjective "Trumpian", and it will mean trashy, corrupt, morally bereft and self-serving.

The USA produces so many movies about superheros who stand up to evil dictators. The "right to bear arms" guys have been banging on about the 2nd amendment one school shooting after another. Then an actual evil dictator rises before them... Crickets. Nothing. Machismo posturing turns to cowardice.

Illegal clearing of Koala and Greater Glider habitat is continuing apace under the Gemini Coal Project near Dingo. The ALP government are presently turning a blind eye to this destruction.
