There can be no social cohesion while divisive groups like Advance aim to smear hate against some Australians | Lucy Hamilton The astroturf group’s strategy event had the theme ‘evolve’ – but its speakers want to take the country back to the past

So let me get this strait, Trump goes to war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files now wants to bomb Cuba to distract from the war in Iran. Have I been living in a dream, this can't be reality 😱.

Happy birthday to the cult!

Fake country
Fake language
Fake cuisine

Murderous settler colonialsts

Is case you were ever thinking of helping the US.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo A U.S. aid worker said that the Afghans, who were evacuated to Qatar, would face a choice between moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo and living under the Taliban.

Breaking News: President Trump is said to be in talks to send Afghans who helped the U.S. war effort to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

All Chris Minns had to do - at a bare minimum - was be less bad than Berejiklian and Perrottet. And yet.

But why???

Now your bothsidesing

Why not just say it's unacceptable whomever does it?

No

It's a really big deal that a government would appoint one of the best friends of the 21st century's most notorious paedophiles to the most senior ambassadorship there is

Would you say the same thing if Mandelson were besties with Jimmy Saville?

I am 100% sure that this is the case.

And also that the senior civil servants made sure there would be no bothersome paper trail. It's part of the services they provide; naive to think otherwise. They are equally culpable, notwithstanding Olly's visage of rosy-cheeked schoolboyish innocence.

This one is a real scandal though

It is straightforward.

He does do a great line in high dudgeon

Enough is enough.

Starmer must go.

Know the work rules comic. Panel 1: Appropriate Lee Anderson appears at an office cubicle and says “Keir Starmer is a liar” to Lindsay Hoyle, who smiles and says “Awww, you’re sweet.” Panel 2: Inappropriate Zarah Sultana appears at an office cubicle and says “Keir Starmer is a liar” to Lindsay Hoyle, who gets on the phone, angrily yelling “HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!”

Zarah Sultana: Palantir has no place in UK public services From ICE to Gaza, Palantir is complicit in violent US hegemony. Why do we keep giving it contracts?

He is a liar.

Can't be totally sure.

Looks like they have or are attempting to take down this video.

A framed photograph of Keir Starmer, displaying all his charisma (i.e. zero), with a lettuce sitting beside the portrait.

This has started cropping up on the Net:

The whole country knows it: Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar.

‘Sacking brave Sir Olly was an error of judgment for which I bear full responsibility. I apologise to the House for that error. In sacking inestimable Sir Olly, nay Lord Olly, we followed due process and I am shocked, indeed furious, I was not told he did entirely the right thing all the time’

Nobody in high office should be called Olly.

Groomed, captured, deployed. How the Israel lobby runs Chris Minns - Michael West Police brutality, intimidation, harassment, free speech attacked. NSW Premier Chris Minns was groomed for Israel, writes Andrew Brown.

In 2003, before he held any significant office, Minns was selected for the AIJAC Rambam Israel Fellowship – an all-expenses-paid program with one purpose: take promising Australian political figures to Israel, immerse them, and bind them. michaelwest.com.au/groomed-capt....

can you name a single democratic candidate who advocates for something remotely similar to the new deal?

Palantir @PalantirTech Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.
