BREAKING: Major clashes in southeast Chicago this pm.

DHS agents who crashed a car had eggs thrown at them. According to ABC7, they then fired pepper balls at local residents. It’s now a scene of flying rocks & tear gas.

Chicago was never a war zone. But Trump’s militia is turning it into one.

I haven't heard a single federal politician talk about what they might do about this. If asked they would simply recite talking points about 'creating jobs' and 'growing the economy'.

The Israeli government prefers a weakened Hamas in a besieged Gaza, to any alternative administration (including a neo-colonial one run by Blair).
A besieged, impoverished, ruined and unstable Gaza leaves open the prospect of ethnic cleansing and occupation.

While the media and political class fixate on tinkering with superannuation, a new report finds that 1 in 7 Australians are living in #poverty.
