Nobody can explain how Australians peacefully marching against Israel’s genocide could cause anyone to commit such shocking acts of violence, so it would be nice, & not undermine police investigations, if politicians, the antisemitism envoy & the dreaded media stopped lying.

The more I think about SBS News' parade of Israeli politicians last night, the more wrong it seems. These are the faces of an acknowledged genocide being platformed as if they themselves were not killing a Bondi massacre-sized number of Palestinians EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
