How did we reach a point where the media has determined that two foreign leaders should decide whether Aukus should continue?
Our sovereign interests are FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO DETERMINE. What Trump and Starmer thinks is entirely irrelevant.
Our issue remains, is Aukus worth it? The answer is clear.

Everything’s been such a struggle. Getting out of bed, reading the news. I’m painting again to try and soothe myself. Some nights it works; tonight it’s no good.

What's so shocking here for me isn't even that he does drugs, it's that his judgment is so warped he apparently does these heroic doses of a powerful psychedelic before a life-altering presidential press event.
Like, you couldn't pay me to go to a Wawa in a state like this. I would be petrified

A very good thing. Those who can’t cope with the ALP and LNP not getting all the first preference votes need to learn to count past 2.
Good news for Australian politics and society.
"The major parties’ primary vote has, once again, fallen.
In fact, there is a strong chance that the combined independent and minor party vote will beat one of the major parties for the first time in seven decades."

'Third party' vote looks set to beat Coalition
Labor took the glory, but beneath the surface of the election result an ongoing trend holds a warning for both major parties.

3 Criticizing a government that carries out war crimes is not hate. It’s obligation.
If your politics can’t confront genocide, then your politics are trash:
No more money.
No more bombs.
No more fake neutrality.
You are either against genocide. Or you are part of it.
Now pick a side.

5 If you claim to care about justice—if you ever marched, ever lit a candle for any cause—then your voice should be raised now. Or it means nothing. The children of Gaza do not need your sorrow. They need your outrage. Your pressure. Your courage.

Great 🧵 as always from @freedom.press 🙌⤵️
🧵 It’s the 100th day of Trump 2.0, so here are 100 times Trump and those close to him have attacked press freedom and transparency.
That doesn’t mean they’re only averaging one per day – we had to make cuts. There will probably be more attacks while we’re posting this.
