@PressClubAust Hardly a 'National Press Club', more a group of sycophants for the most part.

Breaking News: The Justice Dept. is seeking to throw out a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s company, xAI, over the data center's air pollution, saying it has the right to run polluting gas-burning turbines in Mississippi despite not having permits for them. https://t.co/CxztBM0baD

This is how you respond to MAGA ignorance ✊🏻

@maddenifico I think it's a fair representation of Trump.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

@SenatorWong @YvetteCooperMP @AnitaAnandMP And where are Palestiniens, those who remain, to live while others discuss their future? Will Israel rebuild what they have destroyed? Words can't convey how sickened and incredibly sad I am. So many innocents slaughtered and u say nothing, Grotesque.

[Louise Ford @TalatoKai]

@AustraliaUN I hope you were 'looking' at Australia when you were speaking. Despite promises of transparency and accountability I see Aus going in the opposite direction @AlboMP @SenatorWong

#auspol take note.

This is a significant ruling. A Swiss court has acquitted five Palestine solidarity activists, annulled their fines, recognised the reality of genocide in Palestine, and affirmed that peaceful civil disobedience is protected by freedom of expression. At a time when support for Palestinian rights is increasingly criminalised across parts of Europe, this judgment is a reminder that defending human rights and demanding compliance with international law are not crimes. Democracy is measured not by how it treats conformity, but by how it treats dissent.

@PeterCronau Most definitely.

The librarian who hand-sells a book, who says I think you specifically will love this one, is doing something that an algorithm cannot replicate.
They have read the book.
They have read the child.
And they have made a considered judgement that these two things belong together. When that judgement is right, it can change everything. We thank all the librarians out there who take the time to make that difference.

@RichardMarlesMP FYI - I am utterly opposed to the ridiculous con called AUKUS and all it brings to this country. Costing billions which need to be spent here for what? A shonky deal which gives the US and the UK (another) converient outpost and puts Aus pop at risk. Idiotic.

[Louise Ford @TalatoKai]

@quarklady_1 @strangerous10 @AlboMP Mine too

[Louise Ford @TalatoKai]

@AngusTaylorMP "Fairer" aka Robodebt, saying "No" to The Voice, verbally pummelling migrants who don't look like you, supporting the rich and chastising the poor? That kind of 'fair'?

[Louise Ford @TalatoKai]

@DavidShoebridge 👏👏👏👏

[Louise Ford @TalatoKai]

I would much rather leaders who spoke, and acted, like this man @AlboMP @SenatorWong #auspol . Your responses lack, amongst other things, courage.

This is MASSIVE 🔥

🇪🇸 Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, has called on Israel to end its expansion of settlements or face strict action 🔥

🇮🇹 Italy Declared the same
🇫🇷 France Declared the same
🇬🇧 UK Declared the same
🇩🇪 Now Germany is declaring the same

These countries got their spine thanks to Spain’s leader, Pedro Sánchez.

95 % People think Pedro Sánchez is the spine of Europe 🔥🫡

Wow…I had no idea..

UNRWA smuggled the Palestinian memory archive from its headquarters in Gaza, meaning the record of every Palestinian who became a refugee after the 1948 Nakba, to preserve their legitimate right to return and compensation in the event of a settlement..
@Rana_Sabbagh has the full story
