it's also a landmark decision for the Right to Post
On the Lattouf judgment: I didn't fully appreciate how the complaints that led to her unfair dismissal were centered around our reporting on Sydney Opera House protest (which ABC execs said was "journalistically sound"). I stand by the reporting & glad to see today's decision.

Don't compare Trump to Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain did not personally like the dictator he dealt with. Chamberlain did not staff his ministry with pro-dictator enthusiasts. Chamberlain was not helped into office in the first place by that dictator. From Churchill's eulogy:

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

I realize he constantly floods the zone with BS so people forget about the old scams because they are dealing with the new ones, but he announced a deal on Afghanistan in 2017 like his Ukraine proposal for their minerals and we got nothing except an extended war.

I am gifting you all this analysis by @davidfrum.bsky.social in the Atlantic about why MAGA is so attached to the Tate brothers because I fear - and I say this as a left-wing feminist who used to think Frum himself was the dark lord made flesh - he’s is *completely right*: bit.ly/4i51hBU
Why MAGA Likes Andrew Tate
The same reason Trump likes tariffs: Both aim to put women in their place.

"They offered him boxing lessons, health and fitness, and then slowly haul them in until you find your kid at their monthly gatherings while they're reading from Hitler's delusional Mein Kampf as if it's the Bible." Disturbing work by Avani Dias & team. Watch tonight’s 4 Corners 8.30 ABC TV & iView.
The ABC article shows why the NSN are so insidious. Not just grooming at-risk young men but luring & entrapping women as young as 15 for the sole purpose of breeding. The dangers of groups like the NSN go beyond harassment & intimidation of minorities. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...
Emily recognised her son on the news. He was standing with a group of Neo-Nazis
These families never imagined their loved ones would be drawn to Neo-Nazi groups. Now they're fighting to get them back and begging the government to help.

Anyone suggesting Islamophobia is an acceptable response to anti-semitism or that anti-semitism is an acceptable response to Islamophobia is a dangerous fucking racist salivating for violence and will do or say anything to tear multicultural democracy apart, dear god, make the links.

Finally, a headline which points out that Trump is LYING, rather than just quoting him and burying the fact-check in the fifth paragraph! More of this please. Trump lies CONSTANTLY and for a decade, the media have failed to characterise it as a problem.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.
