Judges are largely finding that criticism of Israel/Zionism is 1st amendment protected speech, not antisemitic. Ditto for slogans like “From the river to the sea” Major blows to pro-Israel lawfare operation theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

If the Albanese government had introduced a 25% gas export tax when it was first elected, it would have raised more than $63 billion! Free childcare or free uni shouldn't be a pipe dream. If big gas paid their fair share, Australians would be better off. @GrogsGamut #auspol

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE just threw a 7-year-old Canadian girl with autism and her mom into one of their worst prisons for NO REASON WHATSOEVER! Edward Warner, an American citizen from Kingsville, Texas, was driving home with his Tania Warner and their daughter, Ayla Lucas, from a baby shower when all of a sudden they were stopped at a border patrol checkpoint and demanded to see their papers. Tania showed them her Texas driver’s license, work visa, and actual visa, informing the goons that she was a Lawful Alien Allowed to Work, as Tania is originally from British Columbia. “I presented mine and she presented her Texas driver’s licence, her work visa and her actual visa,” Edward, who is American, told CTV News. “After that, they took her in, saying that they needed to fingerprint her to get more information, and she never came back out.” The goon squad said there was an “error” with Tania’s Employment Authorization Document and needed to send their fingerprints to Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, who refused to let them go. “It’s scary, it’s really frustrating, especially when they have paperwork that’s good, and it doesn’t come up in the system as being good. It didn’t come up as having paperwork at all,” said Edward to the Canadian media. Tania and Ayla were thrown into the gulag at the Rio Grande Valley Central Processing Center in McAllen, Texas, a site notorious for housing little kids in chain-link cages during Trump’s first term. “It’s no place for a seven-year-old to be,” Edward said. “They’re using, like, space blankets in order to cover up. She’s having to use the mat from the floor to get a proper cover to keep warm. This food is terrible … it’s overcrowded, very loud, and they’re just very stressed out right now,” he said of what he’s hearing from his family, adding that they’ve only been able to have two short phone calls a day. This is what happens when you build a machine designed to incarcerate people for profit with no regard to the law or to basic human decency. There’s a private prison company making a fat profit off of locking up this poor little girl and her mother and an evil bald man in the White House, Stephen Miller, ordering the Border Patrol to fill quotas of arrestees, no matter who they are or whether they deserve to be thrown into a disgusting prison, served mouldy food, and forced to sleep under bright lights on piss-soaked floors. Tania and Ayla and every other innocent child in these camps need to be freed, IMMEDIATELY, and their cells filled with the men responsible for this absolute miscarriage of justice.

Doug Cameron nails it! “There is still time to reject AUKUS & focus on peace & diplomacy “This can only happen if the nation is aware & we stop being led into a war to confront China. “The history of America is one of imperialism &hegemony.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/a…

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL: DAN GOLDMAN UNLEASHES TRUTH! Congressman Goldman just went live with FBI 302 receipts. Evidence shows Trump unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis in self-defense, he punched her and called her a "B." The FBI interviewed her FOUR times while the case was buried. Pam Bondi lied to Congress, claiming “no evidence” of these crimes while sitting on files describing this exact assault. This is perjury and a cover-up for a predator. You don’t get to "save the kids" while your AG hides files of a child being beaten for fighting back. History will remember the enablers. We stand with the children who bit back.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom’s wife publicly shames Donald Trump for his appalling comments about people with disabilities and insulting her husband for having dyslexia! Last night, the president once again mocked California Governor Gavin Newsom for admitting he struggles with a learning disability, as so many millions of Americans do. It was a cruel and enormously petty show of ableist bigotry unbecoming of a president and a human. Jennifer Siebel Newsom filmed a video response to Trump taking him to task for his hateful words, and it’s a must-see. “I just witnessed Donald Trump's comments about learning disabilities and my husband, Gavin Newsom, and I honestly had to take a beat. Suggesting that someone with dyslexia or any learning difference for that matter is somehow less capable of leading or achieving is extremely ignorant and offensive. Dyslexia is not a measure of intelligence. In fact, quite the contrary. And learning differences do not determine someone's potential. On the contrary, some of the most successful leaders in business and the world have dyslexia.” “Day in and day out, Trump says things that make him unfit for office. He degrades our vulnerable communities, our institutions, even the constitution itself. And somehow we're told to ignore it, turn a blind eye, pretend everything is normal. Guess what? It's not. And we're fed up. As someone who grew up in a Republican household, shame on the Republican Party for normalizing this vile specimen of a human being stationed at the top of their party.” “There are millions of kids in this country with learning differences who are already working twice as hard to keep up. Kids are trying to believe in themselves. I know this personally, a few of my children learn differently. I see the emotions, the toll, the coping mechanisms, the extra hours, the grit, takes them every single day. And I know they're going to be fabulous. Learning differences don't make you less intelligent. They don't make you less capable. And they certainly don't make you less worthy of leadership. They make you special.” And honestly, if we're going to talk about what's disqualifying in a leader, let's talk about that. A convicted felon, a man found liable for sexual abuse, a man notorious for degrading female journalists, a man with a track record for bankrupting businesses, a man whose name has shown up thousands of times in the Epstein files, a man who sends masked extremists to terrorist black and brown communities and rip kids away from their families.” “The most corrupt president in our nation's history. Everything that Donald Trump represents is frankly beyond disqualifying.” MIC DROP. Thank you for taking a stand for America’s kids and all those who struggle with learning disabilities, Jennifer. Trump’s personal war of words against Gavin Newsom is just another example of how literally everything he says and does is repulsive, demeaning, and dehumanizing in the worst possible way. Truly there is no bottom to the depths of his depravity.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Special Envoy Jillian Segal concedes Harbour Bridge march not antisemitic - Michael West 'When pressed on why she believed the Harbour Bridge protest was antisemitic, Segal conceded that the protest itself was not antisemitic but it undermined “social cohesion”. “I’m not saying it’s antisemitic,” she said.“But it is antithetical to what we want in our country and building social cohesion.” 'Some attendees criticised comparisons made during the discussion between protest activity and violent incidents. Rebecca Parker, a designer and Jewish resident of the City of Port Phillip whose grandparents survived the Holocaust, said she was concerned about how events were framed.“I was shocked when I heard [Segal] use the examples of two peaceful protests alongside the horrific violent extremist attack at Bondi,” Parker said.“I think that drawing parallels between these very different types of events is extremely dangerous and only makes Jewish people feel unnecessarily unsafe.”Parker also criticised the push to encourage local councils to adopt the IHRA definition.“It was clear from her speech that she wants to be the arbiter of what is considered antisemitic and what is not,” she said.' 'Another attendee, Veronica Sherman, said she was confused by the suggestion that the Sydney Harbour Bridge protest could be interpreted as antisemitic.“I was there holding a banner that said I was Jewish and I was absolutely welcomed with open arms,” Sherman said.“I was hugged, I was thanked. There were people crying with me.”Sherman also questioned the absence of progressive Jewish organisations from the event.“I was disappointed that Jewish Council Australia hadn’t been invited at all. There seems to be no voice other than the Zionist Jewish voice,” she said.She also raised concerns about the influence of overseas organisations in Australian public policy debates.“Australians aren’t worried enough about foreign interference,” Sherman said. “This is a foreign organisation that is paying to have a say and impact in local councils.”' 'Jen Weinstein, another attendee, said antisemitism should be addressed alongside other forms of racism.“Racism should be addressed holistically. When we reinforce protections across the whole society, everyone benefits including Jewish Australians,” Weinstein said.“The most effective way to combat antisemitism in Australia is the same way we should address all racism by implementing our existing National Anti-racism Framework.”' michaelwest.com.au/jillian-segal-…
