“I was punished for my political beliefs” - broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf after winning her unfair dismissal case against the ABC. The judge found the public broadcaster bowed to “an orchestrated campaign by pro-Israel lobbyists.”

What's wild about the US tariffs is that they are not coupled with any industrial policy or public investment strategy that could plausibly deliver US re-industrialization. The result is that the tariffs will likely accelerate US industrial decline and general economic degradation.

It is truly fascinating to watch. The US has so thoroughly purged socialist ideas from its economics departments, and has ensured such absolute hegemony of neoliberal principles, that it is incapable of conceptualizing and implementing even *basic* industrial policy that could deliver on the government's own stated goals.

Total self-sabotage. The US ruling class has no idea what to do, they are completely adrift. And this is dangerous because they are likely to resort to violence and geopolitical bullying in a desperate dying bid to hold onto power.

Haaretz reported that the IDF has dropped terrifying leaflets in Gaza telling the shell-shocked population that the world will not change if all the people in Gaza disappear. Trump's Genocide Riviera Plan is unfolding as we speak...

"Two hundred children and 100 women were killed in one day. Altogether, about 400 civilians were killed, and the number of dead is not yet final." https://t.co/AFZyUFJ8yK

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

So, NZ sent a warship into the 130 km wide Taiwan Straits a few months ago without consulting China.
... but now has kittens because China has repayed the visit by dropping into the north of the 2,250 km wide Tasman Sea without consultation.

This is a monumental shift: the U.S. finally renounces NATO membership for Ukraine after 17 years of trying https://t.co/tZWg120pT3

This is no cause for celebration, it's tragic really: had this position been taken in late 2021 instead of doubling down on NATO expansion, the war and its hundreds of thousands of casualties would have undoubtedly been avoided. And we know the U.S. could have taken this position then, because they do it now.

The intolerable cost of hubris, which of course no-one will pay a price for except all those who died in this senseless and easily avoidable war...

Our sixth mini documentary looks at Israel's continued occupation of southern Lebanon.

I am extremely proud of it - I think the team have produced something really remarkable here.
I am confident you will think so too.

Many flaws but the only ex-president to consistently call out US imperialism, even if he did not call it that.
Respect.

Zionism is an explicitly fascist ideology, and an explicitly colonial project, and it is sickening to watch legacy liberal media institutions falling over themselves to legitimise it and provide cover for its crimes.
