A reminder for Australia’s PM - next time he talks of our “shared values” with the US. #auspol
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

"If the ICJ’s finding is definitively affirmed, that Israel is in fact committing acts of genocide in Palestine, then Australia — and the individual ministers who drive its choices — would be hypothetically vulnerable to charges of complicity." #GazaGenocide #auspol
Labor has admitted that Australia, as part of the global F-35 supply chain, contributes 'components and parts that are nonlethal in nature'.
If Israel uses those jets to commit war crimes, are Australian government ministers culpable under international law?

I've noticed that as the United States has become increasingly dishonest and corrupt, cover-ups no longer need to be conducted in secret.

Stop travelling to America.
It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism
If you’re American, stop going to Florida
They built a concentration camp in 8 days
They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.

Donald Trump’s traitorous presidency, undeserved occupation of the Oval Office, and very repugnant presence in the highest seat of power in America are a massive middle finger to those we honor on #MemorialDay who died so that we could endure.

Donald Trump's Presence and Presidency are a "F*ck You" to Those Who Died Serving This Nation

West Point graduates this morning sat through a commencement speech about having courage given by a treasonous convicted felon who also happens to be a 5x draft dodging coward who has never served anyone but himself. Depraved, despicable and embarrassing.
