Me: “Why do you think ‘Succession’ was such a big show?

Arian Moayed/'Stewy': "Because the truth of ‘Succession’ dials into what we’re witnessing every day in our news cycles. There’s an elite group of 10 to 15 people that run everything."

I know I don't need to point it out to you, @abcnews @ABCaustralia, because you already know it but I'll point it anyway because I am so fucking angry ... censoring your reporting in favour of ISRAEL is a partisan political act that flies in the fucking face of IMPARTIALITY. #auspol #GazaGenocide

Listening to @abcnews radio news on the release of "Israeli hostages" and "Palestinian prisoners" and the "end of the war" and I'm really sick to death of this whitewashed pro-Israel biased shit that is genocide denial and dehumanizes Palestinians. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

What about the Palestine people. They're not the same as far as Israel is concerned.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

The past.

Why resurrect.

Keating praises super backdown – but with such a feeble opposition, Labor should spend more political capital

If Albanese and Chalmers are to achieve the intergenerational fairness they say Australia so badly needs, much bigger fights than this will be necessary

400 Americans have more wealth than all 70m in the UK.

The richest 0.1% of the UK have more money than poorest 50% of UK.

Do you see how it works, do you understand how ridiculously rich the richest have become.

The richest 0.1% are 42x richer than in 1970, you got 12%.

So is ABC or any media going to show us or spk to any Palestinians who are miraculously still alive after 2yrs of daily bombings by Israel? Seems pretty one sided at the moment. Palestinians wrongly held captive by Israel are also being released today, barely a mention.
