There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

Let’s shout this loud & clear so maybe President Trump will hear it. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

How Did America Not See This Apocalypse Coming?
Trump is doing what he promised on the campaign trail: wreaking economic havoc on America and destroying the rules-based international order. More than half of voters chose him anyway.

Folks should remember ONE thing about the coalition - & for that matter, RW ideology & oligarchic strategy.. They NEVER factor in the human cost of anything they do. It’s immaterial. Human cost to them equates to extra expenditure that they need to enrich themselves and their rich ASSociates.

No surprise coming from the man who walked out on the Stolen Generations apology. The irony is that this cheap hollow nationalism does nothing but deepen divisions and drive more Australians to distance themselves from the Australian flag that has the British flag in the corner.

‘He loves to divide and conquer’: Canada and Mexico brace for second Trump term
As the next US president threatens steep tariffs, the country’s two largest trading partners steel themselves for another rocky ride Stone-faced as he stared into a gaggle of cameras on Tuesday, the leader of Canada’s largest province laid bare how it feels to be America’s northern neighbour and closest ally this week. “It’s like a family member stabbing you right in the heart,” said Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford. A day before, president-elect Donald Trump had pledged hefty tariffs on Mexico and Canada, the US’s two largest trading partners. “It’s the biggest threat we’ve ever seen … It’s unfortunate. It’s very, very hurtful.” Continue reading...
