As Trump's world domination plans go into overdrive, managing editor Michelle Pini discusses the collapse of international law, the silencing of those who speak out and the powers that fueled an Antisemitism RC.
New from me:
Gangsters, genocide and gagging dissent

I spent days hearing do-nothings whine “why don’t Americans fight back?! You’re all cowards” and the truth is that America—as an entity—will kill you immediately if you even look at a cop the wrong way
Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."
"If you take Greenland. We'll take every American base in Europe."

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

Didn’t take our media long to start both-sidesing the unmistakable murder of a citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
The Trump regime’s internal security enforcers murdered an American citizen in broad daylight.
The regime is illegally blocking the release of evidence of Trump’s extensive collaboration with Epstein. They’re agitating for war with France and Germany.
It’s completely insane anyone supports them.
But the deaths of Palestinians is clearly fine.
The White Australia policy is alive and well.

"Israeli citizens overwhelmingly support the genocide in Gaza. Israel, that Herzog represents, has morally lost its way."
"By Tony Burke’s own criteria Herzog is not a fit and proper person to get a red-carpet welcome to Australia."

Alas I suspect zero chance any of the ABC journalists attending the Adelaide Writers Festival will withdrawal.
Centrism means supporting genocide
Seems it is only a very short time since you got ridiculed for saying "fascism"
When things go bad, they rot quickly
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".
They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.
There is nothing "lawful" about it.
Rep. Swalwell : "Renee Good wasn’t a threat—she was a mom with stuffed animals in her glove box." "Any one of us with young kids knows what that glove compartment looks like," "She had a baby to go home to, a 6 year old who is now orphaned." #3E #endImpunity #ReneeGood #JusticeforGood #GoodVsEvil

Nothing beats having your own job security when as an economist you decide to keep arguing for more people to lose their jobs just so your views on what inflation should be come true.
