Reacting to Bondi Beach attack, Mayor Eric Adams says:
“That attack in Sydney is exactly what it means to ‘globalize the Intifada.’ We saw the actual application of the globalization of the intifada in Sydney...”
It's so effing crazy that this lady was the founder of LADIES FOR BRETT KAVANAUGH, a right wing op to run interference against his accusers, and the @nytimes never once felt the need to mention this in its story.
Graham Platner should have instead said "Not nuking these fucking animals is the only restraint I expect and that's only because the cloud would hurt Israelis" and then the media class would deem him acceptable.
really sad about anthony head!! always really loved this story where he invited a fan of his to his farm for the day when he heard they were having a hard time after coming out as trans
They've taken to calling me "dangerous."
Go ask children in Detroit who needed glasses if I'm dangerous.
Go ask people whose medical debt was cancelled if I'm dangerous.
Go ask the people who are breathing on the wrong end of a smokestack if I'm dangerous.
I'm not dangerous to them.
Now go ask a politician backed by corporations. For damn sure I'm dangerous to them.
Why? Because I'm coming for the system where people take money from corporations to funnel into elections so that all the politicians who get elected end up serving the corporations and not the people.
‼️ Sen. Susan Collins failed to report up to $395,000 in stock trades.
- 24 transactions in Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase & CVS from 2013-2018 weren’t disclosed violating the STOCK Act she helped pass.
- Even a Pfizer purchase earlier this year missed the deadline.
Heartbroken. All the preparation in the world doesn’t stop the grief the day of. Perhaps I’ll have better words tomorrow, but for today… thank you, @AnthonySHead, for your hand in giving me the best memories of my life. Give Sarah a big hug and rest easy, lovely man. 💙
Ms Wong has been such a bitter disappointment to me. I thought she really got the issues (& maybe still does), but all we get from her are piss-weak statements of ‘concern’ and palliative bullshit. She’s utterly cowed by the equally disappointing Albanese Govt.
The documents were finally released years after our open records request — they provide a fascinating glimpse into how Democrats pretend to be powerless https://t.co/YEDSnI2wUe
"We've tolerated this for too long. We've issued statements…but at some point the statements have to end & action needs to begin."
Ed Husic, clear-eyed, on Australia's acquiescence to Israel, from Gaza to the abuse of Global Sumud Flotilla activists.
Unlike Penny Wong. #auspol
All of us at Battersea are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Ambassador Anthony Head. For over 20 years, Anthony was a passionate supporter of our work and a true advocate for rescue. Thank you, Anthony, for everything you gave to Battersea and the animals in our care.
Thank you, @davidshoebridge 👨🏼⚖️⚖️💚, for bravely bringing Tammy Shipley’s harrowing story to light. As a woman reading this brought tears to my eyes a 47-year-old mum of six, battling schizophrenia and bipolar, who reached out to police for help during a psychotic episode, only to be charged with minor shoplifting, denied bail, and die just 11 days later in Silverwater prison from water intoxication amid shocking failures in care and monitoring.
Her story exposes how Australia’s deeply underfunded mental health and preventative healthcare systems leave vulnerable women in crisis with nowhere safe to turn. Instead of treatment and support, they’re funnelled into the justice system over petty offences. We must do better this is preventable tragedy, not justice.

The cruelty and indifference this Sydney mum faced when she went to the police for help and instead died alone, in distress, in prison is hard to believe. But this is what prisons in Australia do. We need to be helping, not punishing, people like Tammy. https://t.co/U05XRc4OWr
