If it was Hitler, there'd be nothing to condemn. Since it's a serial rapist, racist, violence creating fascist seeking to destroy America and in turn, Europe, the reaction should be the same as if it were Hitler. "Better luck next time" is appropriate.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

Over more than two weeks, campaigners under the Blockade Australia banner have been interrupting trains near the world’s biggest coal port. My colleague Jordyn Beazley reported that by Monday at least 500 train journeys had been cancelled and more than 30 people arrested. Continue reading...

Fundamentally, the legitimacy of courts depends on their commitment to the rule of law. Which, in turn, heavily relies on courts respecting their own rules and their own limits and boundaries. When the EPA or a prosecutor oversteps, the courts are there as a check. But quis custodiet?

Concerns for 13-year-old in Queensland watch house ignored days before alleged sexual assault

Concerns for 13-year-old in Queensland watch house ignored days before alleged sexual assaultwww.theguardian.com Exclusive: Documents seen by Guardian Australia show psychologists and youth workers pleaded with youth justice authorities for a transfer to a safer facility Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our morning and afternoon news emails, free app or daily news podcast Authorities repeatedly ignored pleas that a 13-year-old boy was at risk of harm in the days before the child was allegedly sexually assaulted in an overcrowded Queensland police watch house cell. Documents seen by Guardian Australia show psychologists and youth workers separately raised the alarm to the youth justice department about the size and vulnerability of the boy and sought his transfer out of the Cairns police watch house for his own safety.

The Palestine-Israel nightmare won’t end until we accept these basic truths | Ahmed Moor

The Palestine-Israel nightmare won’t end until we accept these basic truths | Ahmed Moorwww.theguardian.com After 100 years of brutality against the Palestinians, we may have a chance to redirect history. But policymakers have refused to recognize reality, writes Ahmed Moor History is long, and short. For many supporters of Israel, history appears to have commenced on 7 October 2023. For me, and for many others steeped in the acid bath of Palestine-Israel, history is a long brine. Conversations with ourselves begin to change in texture. In time, our arguments are prone to spoilage. As a Palestinian American who has lived in both Gaza and the West Bank and has observed the unfettered encroachment of settlements first-hand, I’ve long been a proponent of a single shared state in Palestine-Israel – an idea that many have rejected as unworkable. Now, as we observe what scholars have described as a genocide in Palestine, the question resolves to whether it’s even thinkable for Israeli Jews and Palestinians to live as fellow citizens in a shared society.

The reason the media couldn't really cover this lawsuit extensively is because she dropped her lawsuit on November 4, 2016, just four days before the election, and her real name was never revealed. She had received death threats, according to her lawyer, despite never being named publicly.

Looks like something useful is happening on the Nazi site - this court document about Donald Trump’s involvement in the Epstein case is going viral This is a disgusting read

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

While most American Jews are supportive of Israel, others have protested vigorously against U.S. support for Israel and are demanding a cease-fire in the Gaza war. They carry signs saying “Not in Our Name.” They’re carrying on a long tradition of American Jews who have opposed Israel’s actions.

Jewish critics of Zionism have clashed with American Jewish leaders for decadestheconversation.com American foreign aid to Israel has long relied on the support of American Jews. But American Jews have never been unified in their support for Israel or about Israel’s role in American Jewish life.

Lots of women are already paying hell and there will be hell for everyone if no one does anything. There are lots of suggestions for what Biden can do but I think he should address SCOTUS before going after Trump. They’re all part of the same fascist movement. Biden swore to protect us.
