Outrage over Israeli soldier's vandalism of Jesus statue in Lebanon The Israeli military says it views with "great severity" the actions of the soldier, as the US ambassador demands "swift" consequences.

If you are outraged by a statue being vandalised but not outraged by genocide you may just be a hypocritical piece of shit.

'The most moral army in the world'?

Hey @senatorwong.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social - maybe "serious concern" won't cut it this time.

Time to expel the Israeli ambassador, and announce comprehensive sanctions that should have been slapped on this genocidal rogue state months ago. #auspol

Every single article I read about Madonna at Coachella mentioned that she’s 67. Not one article I read about Nine Inch Nails at Coachella mentioned that Trent’s 60.
ISN’T THAT WEIRD?
It’s almost as if everything Madonna has ever said about misogyny is true, or something. 🤷‍♂️

Don’t call me a teal: independent Michelle Milthorpe carves a fresh path as she takes on One Nation in Farrer byelection Milthorpe – a teacher and advocate for child sexual assault survivors – says city MPs have little understanding of challenges facing the regions

Political journalism is sometimes just lazy, and the concept of a truly independent candidate is beyond them. It's much easier to create the category 'teal' and lump them all together. Yet they are all fundamentally different, formed by their electorate. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Won’t somebody save these hundreds of turtles condemned to death? | First Dog on the Moon There is a whole dam full of water right there but the turtles can’t have it

Letting one person's 'concerns' prevent a life-saving release of environmental water for wildlife, including turtles, is truly fucked up, and those responsible should all be ashamed.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Just a reminder that Angus Taylor slipped the term “genocidal protesters” into his anti-immigration racist rant last week.

Does anyone here know anyone who is protesting FOR genocide?

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

‘Penny Wong puts out statements of deep concern every few days, and Albanese reissues weak calls for everyone to stop fighting, but Australia quietly continues to provide staff, equipment and surveillance capacity to the US/Israeli war effort.’
