(🧵) THREAD from a Trump and Musk biographer.

More than any men in America, Trump and Musk target for retribution anyone who crosses them.

And more than anyone, these two complain about media using anonymous sources to report on them.

It’s worth taking a moment and sit with those two statements.

An astonishing story, first published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in September 2023, the Israeli Defence Force fired on its own citizens killing many to prevent them from becoming the captives of Hamas.

While Hegseth complains about the “Left” smearing him with “fake, anonymous sources & BS stories,” remember that the abuse allegations against him came from his own mother.

Dutton whines about $450m “wasted on the Voice “that divided our country”..

.. no, Pete it was YOU who divided the country with your racist dog whistling, negative agenda, your aggressive No platforming & your punching down on Indigenous people - constantly - to suit your agenda

YOU are to blame.

Report from Al Jazeera. The figure seems plausible, although I have no way of knowing. But if it’s even half that it’s still a monstrous war crime.

Thanks Rick for all your work exposing this matter
At the risk of being overly annoying, I wrote this the ~day after~ the original NACC decision was announced to do nothing on Robodebt. I briefly worried I was missing something. Then the Inspector backed it all in and it has only become more sharp an issue. rickmorton.substack.com/p/off-to-the...
Off to the NACCery

They have one job. Platform hard right hacks at public expense on the public broadcaster. Use this freeby for hard right propaganda all day every day. Destroy the ABC in the process. It was a slow moving coup & the job on the ABC is done. And a Labor govt is NOT going to restore this public service.
The failure of these two hopeless clowns to do their job in managing conformance to the ABC’s Charter is now a national disgrace & embarrassment … it’s a simple start, you pinheads = stop platforming Murdoch hacks & IPA spivs! #auspol #ABCFail #SackStevensAndWilliams #LNPLies

Worth watching
I had the privilege today of delivering ANU’s annual “Australia and the World” lecture. I slightly tweaked it to “Australia and the Trumpian world.” I warned of the perils of US-style polarisation, a path I fear Australian politics is treading.

Correct. Good advice.
It is true that the sub judice contempt rule needs to be reformed as it is out of step with modern digital reality, however in the meantime the best way to ensure Alan Jones gets a trial at all (let alone a fair one) is to shut up about the criminal charges against him.

It’s goodnight from me in Aus I don’t know the photographers name so no attribution, but it’s just so sweet, 2 critters getting along together and trusting leach other we can learn a lot from them.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

My thought for the evening good luck America you’re going to need it, I hope we can keep these forces out of Aus. 🙏
