Netanyahu continues to starve and kill the people of Gaza. Putin is pretending to negotiate peace while attacking Ukraine. Trump is randomly killing Venezuelan's. They have no desire for peace. It is how they stay in power. Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are now the leaders of the new axis of evil.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Even Republicans in Congress are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

I would say it’s a clown show, but these clowns kill people and will get people killed in the future so it’s not really that funny or entertaining.

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

This isn’t Gaza. This is Lebanon. The occupation has been bombing the south of Lebanon daily since the so-called ceasefire was signed over a year ago, on November 27th, 2024.

In Australia, value of a statistical life (VSL) in 2024 set at: AU$5.7m, or $245k per year*

Surely the value of each of 1700 endangered species ought be at least the same as one human? $9.69B

(Apparently Aussies worth much less than Yanks: one human life US$13.6m

Nothing says transparency like shutting down all dissenting voices so you can wreck FOI laws
Labor's stacked committee just recommended passing their FOI destruction bill - despite overwhelming evidence AGAINST it.

Greens, Coalition, Lambie AND Pocock all filed dissenting reports. When everyone else says no, maybe listen?

If the entire Trump administration doesn't realize that this would guarantee that the Trump pardons they're all banking on will also be declared invalid by a future president, nobody tell them.
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.
