Ben Roberts-Smith in custody at Silverwater jail after war crimes charges One of Australia's most decorated soldiers, Ben Roberts-Smith, has been charged with five counts of the war crime of murder.

Young Ben must be wishing he lived in the US right now. Not only would they not extradite him back to Australia, he'd be in high demand as a consultant.

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

Things are going well for Donald over on the dark place.

🍿

It's not that Donald sent this as awful as it is; it's that nobody felt they could stop him or, worse, nobody thought they should.

It’s a bit too polite for my liking.

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids.

You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars.

You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage.

Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.

Another joyful and blessed Easter from the Trump administration.

Trump Revels in Threats to Commit War Crimes in Iran

“No other recent American president has talked so openly about committing potential war crimes, legal experts, historians and former U.S. officials say.”

So where is Trump? Probably getting his monthly thing that bruises his hand. I'm sure he'll reappear Monday morning to manipulate the stock market wearing one glove or whatever.

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world

There are now 50,000 U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East. 

FIFTY THOUSAND

And Iran is warning that American universities with campuses in the Middle East will be considered legitimate targets. JFC!

On Saturday, half a million people came together not just to march against the far-right.

But for a different type of society based on unity, respect and where we do what we did on the weekend: turn up to support each other.

Thank you Imran Yusuf for telling us what Saturday's march meant to him.

President Trump, "I can't think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me"

"I don't want to be bragging, but nobody else settled wars"

"But, err, I don't care about that"

Truly extraordinary that a country famed for a constitution of checks and balances turned out to be so exposed to a leadership personality cult.

The next president will have to establish a cabinet position of Secretary of Eradicating That Asshole's Name and Every Trace of His Existence.

The White House is now weighing sending TEN THOUSAND MORE GROUND TROOPS TO MIDDLE EAST.

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

They’re arresting the wrong people. The criminals are in the White House.

In what's coming ahead, we need to take all the awkward and imperfect allies we can get. But dammit, with this sound bite I suddenly have to care about Gavin again 😆

Albanese making it clear to the National Press Club that he beleives @laurentomasi.bsky.social was targetted: "it is not unreasonable to think that she would not have been targeted with a rubber bullet"
