These are just the sort of authoritarian practices and #ZionistMcCarthyism that would be enacted in Australia
if Jillian Segal's 'plan' was ever adopted. #auspol

Important 🧵.

"If the court guts Section 2, it would essentially be a return to the pre-1965 Jim Crow playbook.
...
It will tighten the Repubs' grip on power and drag the country further into authoritarian rule."

'Checks and balances' may become fascism delivered on a judicial plate.

🧵I’m on the road for another 2 weeks, but everyone needs to pay attention to the Supreme Court tomorrow (Wednesday)

The fascist robes are taking the extraordinary step of rehearing Louisiana v. Callais, which would cement one-party rule for at least another generation.

"The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else"

DoD sources tell Zeteo that staff there have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

"Genuine conservatism in the Liberal ranks has been ousted by right-wing populism, a politics of resentment derived from angry old white people, and the companies that profit from their alienation, like News Corp." #auspol

Would be good to see @markjacob.bsky.social do a follow-up with some of the independent journalism that has blossomed in recent times - partly in response to legacy media failing so badly.

"I don’t know about you, but I’ve never typed or said, 'I love Hitler'
...I also didn’t repeatedly use variations of the N word multiple times in a group chat [or] wish to throw my enemies into gas chambers or delight in imagining torturing them. Then again, I’m not a Young Republican leader."

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social has zero F's to give anymore after spending 4 days in Chicago reporting on ICE agents terrorizing innocent communities.

The Israeli regime resumes the #GazaGenocide, as it always intended to.

Now that Trump has had his moment in the international spotlight, he moves on to increasing domestic repression.
And Israel continues with impunity.

Nothing shouts giving up [what remains of] our national sovereignty louder than #AUKUS. #auspol

In case you were curious as to who has sovereign control over #AUKUS, this overnight (Washington) response from Minister Pat Conroy says it all. 1/2 #auspol

It bothers me that @australia.theguardian.com periodically tries to guilt me into taking out a subscription, when I already subscribe.

Seems that their system can't easily identify who does and who does not, so it's just 'blanket guilt'!

"Another major Advance contributor, Henroth Investments Pty Ltd, donated $50,000 in June 2024. One of its directors, John Roth, owner of gelato chain Gelatissimo, is husband of the special envoy to combat antisemitism, Jillian Segal, no doubt reinforcing the strong pro-Israel sentiment of Advance."

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

“While NSW Police have acknowledged the significant errors in their recording of antisemitic incidents, the damage to the public debate and social cohesion cannot be undone” - Bart Shteinman @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social

Still questions as to how much of this was "errors", or willful exaggeration.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.
Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."
