‘A legitimate inclusion in such a plan would be that it will be expensive.’
As expensive as AUKUS? A pie in the sky without any assurance of benefit.

Australia needs a Plan B that starts with strategic autonomy – and, ultimately, terminating the US alliance and its related arrangements. Michael McKinley argues the harder truth is extended nuclear deterrence: a moral and strategic dead end.

Beyond the ruptured alliance: an outline for Plan B
Australia’s alliance with the United States is no longer reliable, and clinging to it now risks Australia’s interests and values. The case for a deliberate, staged Plan B begins with strategic autonomy – and an overdue reckoning with extended nuclear deterrence.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

If no one stands up to the #Icestapo these murders will increase, because the fascist regime has declared murder to be legal.

The federal government is terrorising communities, brutalising anyone they chose, immigrant or not, breaking its own constitution and killing its own citizens.
It is doing this to distract from their flagrant illegality & corruption, and to protect powerful paedophiles.

Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” isn’t peace-building – it’s a power grab that sidelines the vulnerable and rewards coercion. Australia should reject it rather than legitimise it, writes Stuart Rees.

Trump’s 'Peace Board' is imperialism in a new suit
Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” is framed as a peace initiative, but it centralises authority, sidelines the vulnerable and rewards coercion. Australia should reject it rather than lend it legitimacy.

It will be important in future years when people try to retcon what they did during this time to ensure every single person who was in ICE is treated like scum for the rest of their lives.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Culture war summer: petitions, outrage and the politics of 26 January
Right-wing campaign groups and Coalition MPs are again using Australia Day to drive petitions, wedge politics and anti-elite rhetoric. This year’s campaign is being amplified by paid digital ads, ARC grant outrage and calls to “legislate the date”.

People feel the ICE shooting was “unjustified”... really? Not a complete outrage? A woman is shot dead because a criminal murdered her in broad daylight. How would that criminal like it if someone murdered his wife? while dropping his kids off at school?

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
