Perhaps all those geniuses who want to cut migration, and the journos cheering them on, might spend a few days in hospital. Then they can come out and explain how they would have fared without the professional skills of the large chunk of the health workforce not born here.

@NickAUSGRIT @mikeaubrey2 Vote them out at the next State Election!

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Russia has now lost four elections in a row: in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, and now Armenia.

What's more, no one expected the margin in Armenia to be so large. This suggests that Armenians have lost faith in Russia and are distancing themselves from it.

I do not believe Russia will take military action against Armenia. The military base poses no threat, and Russia itself is exhausted by the war it is waging against Ukraine.

Through its heroic resistance, Ukraine is also giving other nations and states a chance to break free from Russia.

I believe Georgia may be next in attempting to remove pro-Russian forces.

Armenia's break with Russia will strengthen Turkey and its influence in the region. That is good news.

In addition, sources believe that the defeat in Armenia could be used by the Kremlin to oust the so-called "Armenian lobby" within the Russian leadership: to weaken, remove its members from office, and cut them off from financial flows.

The main names mentioned are Mikhail Mishustin, Russian prime minister, and Sergey Lavrov, Russian foreign minister.

Russia continues to lose ground and its influence.

The Australian and associated tabloids have long ceased being newspapers. They are political organs operating with a news facade.

There is something that happens to Americans who actually reckon with the history.

Not the ones who perform reckoning, who say "we need to do better" and mean better social media representation and more diverse superhero franchises, but the ones who actually sit with what was done in their name, in specific places, to specific people, over generations.

Something breaks open.

And what they discover on the other side of that breaking is not self-hatred, despite what the defenders of innocence always predict.

What they discover is the ability to see.

To see that the world is full of people who have been surviving American power for decades, who are not waiting for American permission to be legitimate, who have developed extraordinary intellectual and moral and political traditions that no textbook they were given acknowledged as real.

To see that the countries described as "failed states" and "unstable regions" did not fail on their own.

They were destabilized by specific actions taken by specific actors who are named in documents that exist in archives.

To see that the "international community" that keeps appearing in news reports to validate or condemn countries is mostly the United States and its allies, and that the countries left outside that community are not left out because they failed a moral test but because they failed a loyalty test.

To see all of this is not to hate America.

It is to see clearly.

And seeing clearly is the most threatening thing you can do to any system that depends on the population not seeing clearly.

The ones who get there know something they cannot un-know.

The empire needs them to not get there.

It has built an entire culture to prevent it.

Tetanus vaccine is safer than Tetanus
And yes Covid vaccine is safer than Covid

Ukrainian drones are now autonomously intercepting Shaheds. A @BRAVE1ua developer has created a tech that automates 95% of the interception process—from launch to target destruction.

The system successfully completed its combat trials in the Kharkiv region. The operator simply selects the target, and the drone autonomously tracks and neutralizes it. It took less than a year to get from prototype to real-world deployment. We are scaling autonomous defense tech to rewrite the rules of modern air defense.

When Europeans steal a country they name themselves after it.

Israelis claim to be "Semites" despite being European

Colonists claim they're "Americans" while reducing real Americans to "Indians"

Boers claim they're "Afrikaners"

Identity theft is a huge part of colonialism.

I can only gather that there would be a bunch of LNP members hitting the phones this morning asking each other why they kicked out Sussan for Angus.

As far as polling goes, this is the darkest day for the LNP in their history and there is no clear path back.

Lachlan Murdoch’s barrister has come out & accused Crikey of “mocking my client”

Isn’t ‘mocking people’ what Murdoch bases his whole #NewsCorpse business model on?

Agree with Julia - where are the people who funded this & the billboard company who let it pass their ethics test - pathetic…

A cooker, since blocked, posted the cartoon below, THINKING he was defending Pauline.

He posted it attacking what he called "lefties" losing it over the Jacinta ads in Melbourne.

HAHAHA this is HOW DUMB the ON supporter cookers are.

Very few people will have seen this. The poem was printed in the newspaper back in the late 90s. Few would have seen it back then, much less remember it, and this cuck posted it attacking "lefties".

Not many people would've seen it, now everybody's gonna see it, the dumb cuck.

The poem:

There once was a kitsch bitch from Ipswich whose speech made some rich people's lips twitch;
She ripped up their itch.
Which she whipped to a pitch,
Like a Ditch Witch this kitsch bitch from Ipswich.

Faark One Nation supporters are the dumbest.

ZELENSKYY: Even on frontline, we have internet. They restrict internet in Moscow, they can’t use social media in their capital. We can use it on battlefield. Nobody stopped our soldiers. They can go online during pauses or whenever they want to speak with their children and etc.
