@ori_goldberg Best wishes Ori. You have kept so many people's dreams alive with your honesty and truth-telling.

We share dreams of a better future where humanity has learned the kindness and acceptance that we all need. Where all people can be safe in their community and in the world.

How many ordinary Americans even know this is happening, let alone support sending their tax dollars to fund it? If only Americans knew…

[Mark Kenny @markgkenny.bsky.social @markgkenny]

A well-argued rejoinder to the bilious tide of saint-claiming going on right now. From a business owner/originator who clearly knows what he’s talking about. Bravo

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

Israeli MO: Declare a fictitious line as a "border" and claim that all the Palestinians left behind the "border" have chosen to risk their own lives ---> cross and move said "border" under cover of darkness or tanks ---> kill more Palestinians behind new "border". Evil.

What is Jewish identity in the age of genocide in Gaza? It’s time for a reimagining of what being Jewish means.

@BernieSanders that is beautiful
🤎🧡💛💚💙💜
thank you Bernie
no notes

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When Americans stand up and fight for justice, we win.

We took on a king.
We ended slavery.
We built unions.
We won voting rights.
We secured LGBTQ rights.

Again and again, Americans fought back — and won.

We can do it again.

@GrogsGamut so unpredictable....
How could we ever fathom
The cause

i dunno,
could it be "u.s. imperialism"

(obvsy no bc "they" are the evil ones)

[Michael Chalk @miczl]

oh heavens, turns out that Iran "has the right to defend itself", under "international law".

(even tho they are obvsly a corrupt dictator state like i dunno "the usa")

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Penny seems at a bit of a loss. It’s a puzzle. If only we knew who or what had prompted the Iranians to close the Strait.

[Michael Chalk @miczl]

@MikeCarlton01 oh heavens, turns out that Iran "has the right to defend itself", under "international law".

@StephenKing it's phenomenal 😿 the levels of grief and ignorance and total chaos right now are "very high".

Oh if only humanity could *truthfully observe* with all our heart, mind, body and spirit. If we could be honest, in a balanced way.

Imagine, for a minute...

[Michael Chalk @miczl]

@TracyWesterman sometimes i despair of "Australian media" 😿

Turns out the Stefanovics are "incapable of original thought".

Who is this Anne Riechi? She's very good at ignoring "Australian media rubbish" and just talking honestly.

i am grateful for people who can just ignore the nonsense.

[Michael Chalk @miczl]

@JaneCaro There's a lot of chaos right now because empires are crumbling and the whole patriarchal system is falling apart.. but fundamentally the forces of love are rising right now. Truthfulness is gaining strength and power, and *you* are one of the significant people bringing this on.

@mehdirhasan @zeteo_news South Park really hit this issue on the nose

You’ve got some shit on your nose, Pam.

@SenatorWong @AnitaAnandMP "There are no good options. The good option was to not start this war. The good option was to take the quite generous deal that was on the table from the Iranians." @krystalball on @owenjonesjourno

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The end of US empire.

That's looming over the catastrophic illegal war on Iran.

Brilliant as ever from @krystalball

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israeli minister Ben-Gvir celebrates the execution chamber for Palestinians.

Is there any limit for Israel's depravity?

Any at all?

[Bob Carr @bobjcarr]

Israeli and US bombing have destroyed 500 schools and 300 medical centres. There is a term to use here and it’s war crime.

[Prof Ben Saul - UN SR Human Rights & Counterterror @profbensaul]

I join UN experts in opposing Israeli’s discriminatory death penalty law against Palestinians and use of the cruel and inhuman method of execution by hanging

[Michael Chalk @miczl]

@SenatorWong @AnitaAnandMP As an Australian citizen who has voted ALP on many occasions, I am deeply disappointed to see our federal govt support this illegal and foolish war of aggression by the usa & israel. It's *horrifying* to watch the same deception being played as in "wmd 2003". How could you.

[Antony Loewenstein @antloewenstein]

Israel legislating to execute Palestinians this week was shocking. But also thoroughly unsurprising.
This is Israel.
With a shout out to @sakirkhader.
