I genuinely don't get the sense in which Bari Weiss is anti-establishment. She's a right wing journalist under a right wing government who has been associated with various major legacy organisations and who seems to be a part of the literati social scene in journalism.
Remember when Bari Weiss tried desperately to be fired from the New York Times, but they wouldn’t fire her because cancel culture isn’t fucking real, so eventually she just resigned and claimed that it was cancel culture like the kid holding a boot to his own face
And who himself has an unnatural interest in his son's sexual habits
It was clear very early on that Sir Keir’s project was a forced restoration of an old guard their party didn’t particularly want, and that it was imposed by lying, stitch ups and shenanigans. The words required here are not things like “unusual” but “calculated fraud” and “total media complicity”.
hard agree
One of the stupidist and most venal polticians on the planet But she's dead right on this
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
Trump warns Republicans that signing a petition to release the Epstein files will be viewed as a "hostile act" toward the president. Hostile act? Like raping children?
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
Inescapable conclusion
Epstein survivors today: We’re united. We won’t be silenced. We won’t be intimidated. Not by billionaires, not by Congress, and not by the perp in the Oval Office.

Labor and Coalition pass deportation laws set to make Nauru a ‘penal colony’ for Australia, critics say

Zali Steggall says there’s “no comparison” b/w yesterday’s “racist march organised by Neo Nazis” to the “hundreds of thousands, millions I think when you add up all the diff protests” who “march for humanity” against Israel’s “purposeful starvation” of the people of Gaza.💥 #Abc
In Warsaw, a pro-Palestine activist sprayed Israeli singer David D’or with red paint during his concert—symbolizing blood on Israel’s hands. Another activist tried to raise the Palestinian flag before both were dragged out. #FreePalestine #CeasefireNow #BoycottIsrael 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀. 🇵🇸🕊️

Labor’s appalling attack on Freedom of Information is an insult to Labor legend John Faulkner, directly reversing his crucial pro-transparency reforms, @keanebernard.bsky.social writes.
PM @albomp.bsky.social what does it say about the state of governance, when this actually needs to be said❓ "Taxpayer funds lining the pockets of companies owned by bikie gangs to provide security services in Nauru is a giant red flag for the government.”
I despised John Howard, and thought Alexander Downer was fluff. But this comment tips them over into the category of 'actually evil' IMV.

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️
This is about the integrity of govt spending of public money. Jurisdictions around the world already have debarment laws, including WA, Canada, the UK, & US. Why don’t we? This Govt has no reason to vote against this bill. Work with us Labor and ban dodgy contractors for good!
The Greens want to close this legal loophole by banning dodgy contractors altogether. We urgently need greater transparency and stronger procurement protections from corrupt contractors. I urge Labor to pass this bill without delay to ensure dodgy contractors are kicked out.

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal says pro-Palestine rallies should be banned from cities — but is dead silent about neo-Nazis. Investigations reveal “Advance” — funded by Segal's family trust —spread anti-immigrant material before Sunday's rallies... theklaxon.com.au/yx5p
Really looking forward to hearing what Jillian Segal has to say about Sewell and the scourge of these neo Nazis. Any minute now. She’s just working up to it. C’mon Jill. 1,2,3 … go!
Extraordinary that 4 days after Nazis attacked people in Melbourne, Antisemitism Envoy Jill Segal remains silent. #Auspol
Welcome to CBS News with Bari Weiss; I’m Bari Weiss. The top story tonight is that my maverick opinions are being silenced by the woke left
re-upping Prince Andrew at Epstein's New York Mansion
Three years on, the 'significant sum' paid out by Prince Andrew has still not reached accuser Virginia Giuffre's charity www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
How come Prince Andrew is in a palace and not a supermax?
Very true.
It doesn't have to be a conspiracy I lost my sister, a victim of child sexual abuse, last year She held out until she was 60, but her life was very hard
Call me crazy, but if I were accused of a heinous crime, I would do everything in my power to release evidence that would exonerate me. Memo to Republicans: The world is watching. Release the Epstein files or go down with the sinking ship.
Luigi understands and agrees
How desperate is Trump to distract from the Epstein victims going public? He just declared the US is preparing to go to war with Russia and China. 😊 It's BS. There's more chance of him bombing New York than Moscow. The more he tries to avoid releasing the Epstein files, the more guilty he looks
They'd have to take him out of prison to deport him (hopefully) But seriously I treat this is a political statement rather than an actual ambition, and I hope I am right about that He was raised and socialised in Australia, not New Zealand
Jesus Enough of the x'th generation shit
My first memory of her was when she was a student activist trying to get Palestinians fired And succeeding, from memory
But personal relationships aren't proof of decency
I think he the fly over as a threat. And I love how she gave it the finger because that's exactly it. Fuxk him and his pedo grifting benefactors.
military flyovers disrupt the Epstein victim press conference
Epstein survivor on Epstein: "His biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump."
Habitual killers need to keep raising the scale. Trump had US Marshals murder a man in Portland in 2020. He needed a bigger body count to get the same thrill.
I implore all white people in the US to stop saying " I’m an eighth, ninth... Nth generation Iowan, Texan, and whichever other state your family of white settler immigrants settled in a long time ago" as if it is some badge of honor that gives you a special right to live in that state.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotritch’s proposal for annexation of the occupied West Bank shows plans for 82% of the Palestinian territory to be seized. The yellow bits are what would remain for Palestinians (until Israel ultimately ethnically cleanses those areas too). h/t @lowrhoufo.bsky.social
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
Good move
He's a piece of shit
Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

Two things I am following with a sense of foreboding. 1.) The ombudsman forced upon CBS News. See Brian Stelter: view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/175... 2.) Dershowitz knocking on the Times vs. Sullivan door after losing his defamation case. See: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/b...

Should we give a shit though?
You don't care about the one he wrote on his own? I'm confused
the president just murdered 11 civilians in the Caribbean and secdef is on TV bragging about watching the killcam as it happened. all these people should be in the hague.
Did you miss the IT Crowd?
Not surprised he added the IDF ribbon to his name, they share a love of violence and bigotry
Linehan already took someone's phone and smashed it. When he says he'd punch someone, I'd believe him. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...
I'm so fucking angry with how the UK news is handling this. Linehan was not arrested for his views on transgender issues, he was arrested for inciting violence against a protected minority group. He literally told his 587K+ followers to punch us! #Trans #LGBTQIA #Queer #GrahamLinehan
Here's what the guardian doesn't want you to see
If I encouraged (albeit to my twelve or so followers) people to punch a Jewish person if seen in a Christian church would that be okay? #PMQs #PoliticsLive #Linehan
If you see Graham Linehan in a public toilet, don't forget he collects photos of half naked trans kids, and is in court for harassing a minor tomorrow. Then punch him in the ball.
Three if you count Black Books
I see Graham Linehan continues to trash his legacy as the co-writer of two of the greatest sitcoms of all time. What a piece of shit
Nobody believes you.
🤣😅😂
Actually Scott Morrison might be an example of someone who most people wouldn't like if they met him. This is wild guesswork based on his 'type'
PS: John Howard is someone I actively despise. Ditto Scott Morrison. I don't despise Tim Fischer. Nor Macolm Turnbull for example. But for sure I don't admire them either.
