In case you have doubts regarding Israel’s PR concerns being the real motive behind the sale of US TikTok to the largest private donor to the IDF, rather than the “China security threat” narrative we’re being fed by MSM, then check out Netanyahu’s views on the matter.

Lee Fang, the author, was one of Jane Mayer’s sources for her crucial book, Dark Money. Fang’s article shows how US Atlas fosters creation of partner orgs that manage local debate and politicians for the predator corporations. Local (neo)aristos take on the job to defang the masses. #Auspol #NZpol

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

The forced sale of TikTok’s US platform is a deal to provide positive coverage of Israel by changing algorithms to remove Gaza genocide video. Here it is from Netanyahu’s lips www.msn.com/en-in/news/w...

It makes me seriously wonder what guardrails Australia has to prevent us from following suit.
I hope nations everywhere are scrambling to patch any holes in their constitutions and laws that may be exploited by the fascism that seems to be rising.

Watch Stephen Miller’s address at the Kirk memorial and think again about “toning down the rhetoric.” Doing so merely creates more space for Miller, Vance et al. They will not take a backward step. Nor should the opposition.

Never let Tim Wilson forget. We know he was shortlisted with #AtlasNetwork’s IPA for the Network’s biggest international prize for wrecking the carbon price. That mechanism was working to reduce emissions. Don’t put Atlas operators in parliament. theaimn.net/tim-wilson-s... #Goldstein #auspol
Tim Wilson, secretive money and "think" tanks. Australia’s democracy is at stake.
Australians should remember, as the election approaches, that Tim Wilson was shortlisted in 2015 for the US-based Atlas Network’s most prestigious prize. He and his team at the Atlas Network-partner t...

What on Earth makes her think this MAGA drivel will motivate the voters of Kooyong to regroup behind the Liberal Party? Morrison spouted similar claptrap as party raison d'etre. Doesn’t she remember what that meant for Frydenberg? She clearly lacks her great uncle’s streak of social
liberalism.

If cross bench holds BOP after election it must do everything possible to rectify this, incl. rent controls & rapid return to cwlth-funded public housing. Otherwise, rampant inequality takes hold.

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion."

It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

Brilliant episode David. Thank you. I wonder if you’ve considered The Ploughman’s Lunch (1983) for your next series? Scripted by Ian McEwan, inspired by writings of Milan Kundera and set in the height of Thatcherism at the beginning of the Falklands war. It prefigures so much of our current moment.
