A quick PSA, if you follow me and are a frothing bigot, you'll be blocked. If you're a nice conservative, you'll just be disappointed.

Israel slaughtered 15 aid workers in Gaza, buried their bodies so nobody would know, lied about it, and only got caught because they forget to steal one of the victims' cell phones, and he recorded the entire massacre. Israel also did this:

Never forget how Israel murdered Palestinian First Responders on a literal live stream. Repost this. Please I beg you

This should be the biggest story in QLD, but nobody is talking about it. The QLD LNP are in the process of reviving the Joh-era gerrymandering via stealth now that the electoral boundaries are coming up for their 7-year distribution. This is how the LNP are attempting to hold onto power - by changing the electoral boundaries largely to favour the LNP and weaken Labor support within the boundaries. The key to the redistribution within electoral boundaries lies with the LNP appointment of John Sosso - who has been instrumental in weakening the laws around โ€œindependentโ€ appointments for a moment such as this. Now that John Sosso has been appointed to the Queensland Redistribution Commission he has set about making sure that the electoral boundaries can and will favour the LNP for at least another 7 years. Historically John Sosso is an LNP hack. A past member of the Liberal Party, Sosso has a long history of working for the LNP. He has also had past associations with Joh Bjelke-Petersen himself and displayed hostility towards the Fitzgerald inquiry, deliberately hostile to the Inquiry by not assisting the inquiry itself. Sosso has been beavering away for a long time to undermine democracy in QLD - and is as far removed as possible from the status of political independence that the QRC states it requires. It would appear that we are entering a second age of Bjelkemandering in Queensland and the numpties are oblivious to the manoeuvres of potential corruption. There are many in the LNP who admire Joh Bjelke-Petersen and want nothing more than to bring back the golden days of chook feeding and brown paper bags. Fitzgerald himself has recently made commentary regarding the questionable appointment of Sosso. We must ask ourselves why this is being kept out of the public eye and why the media are complicit in its implementation. Who wins from boundary redistribution that favours the LNP? Not just the LNP but the many vested interests that benefit from political corruption, just like they did when the Nationals once ruled Queensland for more than a quarter of a century. reddit.com/r/queensland/cโ€ฆ

Remember when we had a decade of LNP telling us EV tech wouldn't work, how's that going? Australian company now developing an electric combine harvester if only we could fund such development, instead of fossil fuels, and still suffering oil price shocks. linttas.com

Absolute bombshell. The US Treasury Secretary admits on live TV that they are unsanctioning Russian and Iranian oil just to manipulate global prices and save their own economy after starting a disastrous war. The hypocrisy of Washington is fully exposed.

Absolute insanity. Elizabeth Warren exposes how Pete Hegseth fired top military lawyers, calling them roadblocks, and installed his own personal lawyer to water down constraints on killing civilians. He is systematically dismantling the rules of engagement.

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks todayโ€™s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Longtime users are frustrated with X because it no longer works the way it used to. Back in the early days of Twitter, your reach was simple and direct. If you had 5,000 or 10,000,20,000 followers, your posts were delivered to them in real time. It was a true chronological feedโ€”your tweets showed up in the order you posted them, and your audience actually saw your content. The โ€œoldโ€ Twitter (pre-2016) was built around that real-time experience. Your voice reached the people who chose to follow you, without interference. Today, thatโ€™s no longer the case. X relies on an algorithm-driven, engagement-based feed, meaning even your own followers may never see your posts unless the system decides to prioritize them. That shiftโ€”from a guaranteed audience to an unpredictable algorithmโ€”is why so many longtime users feel frustrated and disconnected.

A three-year-old company operating out of a WeWork with reportedly fewer than five employees is being considered for up to $25 BILLION in nuclear energy funds from a trade deal Trump brokered with Japan. The company has never built a nuclear plant or completed a nuclear project of any kind. What does this company bring to the table? The father of its CEO donated $2 million+ to Trump and the GOP, and one of its advisors is a former RNC co-chair and Trump appointee. In this Administration, thatโ€™s apparently all you need.

Yes, Israel lied and dragged the US into this catastrophe. But whatโ€™s equally disturbing and obvious is how Israel has been systematically destroying every possible off ramp for the US to end this madness -and not a single leading figure in the US has the guts to point that out.

King shit. Harris later said he misspoke and should have called Altman the Friedrich Flick of the Trump admin. Flick was an industrialist who earned a fortune during the Nazi era and a war crimes conviction during the Nuremberg Trials. Sounds accurate. #War_crimes_trial" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichโ€ฆ

Burying the lede here: Harris beelined for Altman at a party and called him the Goebbels of the Trump administration
