Israel is deeply implicated in the Epstein files, along with big tech like Palantir. Why isn't this being covered more heavily?

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

I'm no expert on Gen Z. But a common theme is "We're just trying to live ordinary lives & the systems around us are failing us, disrupting us."
Bad Bunny is not a willing activist. His songs are more: "I wish I could just live & not have to call out this broken system."
I get that feeling. 🧵🎵

Are you going to allow a foreign war criminal to continue attacks on Australian Jewish people?
Aren't you opposed to antisemitism?

I think Labor’s state & federal mishandling of this whole thing from invite to protest will see them lose lots of votes to The Greens.
Whomever is advising them is either stupid or actively undermining them. Their voter base now seems largely disappointed & angry!
