The replies and quotes to this post are breaking my heart. This is ethnic cleansing in its early stages and we must ALL be resisting it by any means necessary.

Those of us with the privilege of white skin and anglo names, remember: PRIVILEGE IS COMMUNITY PROPERTY. We have to use it. Don't waste it.
The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey.

Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work.

It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

While this is Israel's ultimate goal, it's notable that Netanyahu stated that the goal of the attack was "“to damage Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, its ballistic missile factories and military capabilities.”

It suggests the theory of victory may be regime destabilization.
Israel's goal is to destroy Iran's nuclear program. The argument for the JCPOA was always that this is not possible through military means, which at best can set it back.

Over the past 2.5 years Israel has demonstrated that many arguments about the limits of what force can accomplish were mistaken.

Sussan Ley has always looked for a political narrative - the only one which has remained consistent is she doesn’t truly believe in anything.

Which makes her perfect to lead the leftover Liberals www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
Sussan Ley is yet to make her mark in 24 years in politics
Sussan Ley the politician has shown she’ll offer up whatever helps her own survival.  That’s one way to ensure she’s not holding it for long.

Dutton is a man whose malice was mistaken for intelligence. His stubbornness was mistaken for discipline. In the end, he had neither.

This is a good result for Albanese but let no one ever forget that the Bali 9 would have faced justice in Australia were it not for their betrayal by then AFP Cmr Mick Kelty (later disgraced when he alerted Ben Roberts-Smith he was being investigated for war crimes).

The reason why I care about helping us decipher these times is so that we can meaningfully resist authoritarian rule in all facets of our daily life.

Small changes, like paying for local news, make all the difference.
