I'm listening to the latest episode of Pod Save the World. Great updates and takes, as usual. But isn't it time to stop referring to the "war" in Gaza? The word "war" implies two parties battling it out. It's really just military assault and occupation, isn't it?

We need to make sure that our American overlords don't drag uns into a war with China AND that Labor doesn't do a dirty deal with them behind closed doors.

Given our screens are full of Gaza, ICE and those on benefits, I think everyone understands what our world does to the weak—which is why many people can’t face the fact that we all, at some point in our lives, are likely to become disabled

Terribly disappointed that one of our worst PMs ever was given an award in recognition of his handling of anything. And for covid? Give me a break. The man forgot to order vaccines and appointed himself in charge of about 6 ministries. Very poor judgement by whomever decides these things #auspols
I was one of 450,000 Australians that were hounded for 18 months with a false Robodebt. I’m furious Morrison was awarded the highest honour for ignoring lawyers and illegally chasing us and allowing his ministers to call us criminals.

Targeting journalists - despicable beyond words.
Fatima Hassona, a Palestinian photojournalist who's stars in a documentary to be screened at Cannes next month, has been killed in an Israeli air strike on her home in Gaza.
International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) estimates that at least 157 journalists & media workers have been killed.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?
