Why can’t the media just day that Trump is a liar, is delusional, creates absolute mayhem because he’s incompetent, and has no clue what he’s doing. Why can’t they just say it? Why do they insist on normalising and legitimising everything he does? Why?!?!
Biden mixes up two names when describing the major problems facing the US in the Middle East: dementia, worse than Watergate

Not a single crate has been allowed through, despite the urgent warnings from the world’s humanitarian organisations and the screams of Palestinians. There is nothing normal about the silence in response
No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

Australia has a history of political interference in the arts award process, most notably during the Menzies era. Indigenous writer Karen Wyld is the most recent recipient to have an award rescinded after Qld Premier David Crisafulli's involvement. #qldpol theconversation.com/a-first-nati...

How in the fuck do we live in a country where the United Nations say FOURTEEN THOUSAND babies in Palestine are at risk of dying from starvation within the next 48 hours and the Australian media aren’t screaming at @albomp.bsky.social and his government to DO SOMETHING CONCRETE TO HELP?
