"Fear has always been the most essential instrument of Soviet authorities, & that is true of Putin’s regime. And that’s why Navalny kept repeating, during his trials: “I’m not afraid, & you should not be afraid.”... he wanted to tell people: "don’t ever be afraid – those bastards are not worth it."

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

Here’s an idea. First track the billionaires and their foreign tax shelters.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

Will Grant Hackett get involved? Will community leaders blast the Albanese government for not listening to the Islamophobia envoy? Will Pauline Hanson be castigated by Sky for causing this, as Mehreen Faruqi was castigated over Bondi?

On Saturday, an imam and his wife were allegedly victims of a violent hate crime — forced off the road by another car, with attackers then getting out to assault the imam/threaten his wife.
ANIC put out a statement on Sunday arvo, noting rising islamophobia.
The media is just getting to it now.

Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So we’re supposed to believe the DOJ just stumbled onto a million more Epstein “documents”. Really? Let’s talk about the redactions.
In March the FBI put 934 employees on the Epstein files, racked up more than 14,000 hours of overtime. And part of that work was redacting Donald Trump’s name.
