Both the Biden and Trump administrations have described Sudan as suffering genocide. And no one’s done much about it.

So much for the rubbish from Mr Trump about ending the war on 'day one'. What a load of horseshit 😑.

Gotta say the ABC's Matthew Doran is tackling his Middle East assignment with integrity and guts, which means, of course, he will attract unwelcome attention 😑.
“We live … in the queue of death.”. Gaza’s journalists are the eyes and ears of the world in the war ravaged strip, and many are angry at the global response to the killing of their colleagues - including five at the Nasser Hospital last Monday .

In 1974 Mr Arafat addressed UNGA in NY in his 'gun and olive branch' speech. In 1988 the UN session on Palestine was relocated to Geneva to enable him to speak after the US denied a visa. Maybe the UN should be permanently relocated to avoid a veto driven by domestic politics 👇.

Years ago on assignment in Lebanon during the civil war I heard someone in a media scrum refer to French news photographers as the 'lowest form of human life'. I wasn't sure that was fair, but I do have a contender: lobbyists 😑.
“More than 1500 lobbyists currently hold orange sponsored passes that grant them 24/7, all areas access to Parliament House,” writes David Pocock. “Meanwhile, community groups and members of the public are forced to wait weeks or months for meetings.”

Reminder of an event you reported. 20 years astern, as were citizens, mostly back and Latino, in the poorer low-lying areas of New Orleans.
Twenty years ago, Americans watched in shock as Hurricane Katrina battered New Orleans, as well as other parts of the Gulf Coast. In 2025, the U.S. government is still not adequately prepared to tackle the structural and policy issues necessary to prevent another Katrina, Julian.

Pop goes the de minimis tariff exclusion on small parcels into America. So, trade liberalisation continues to deflate @Reuters

The U.S. tariff exemption for shipments under $800 ends permanently on Friday, US officials say, with a six-month transition period under which postal service shippers can pay a flat duty.

Aware of disgusting behavior (Zoe Daniel used that word 'disgusting' to describe her own experience) by Mr Wilson's campaign volunteers in Goldstein. Mr Wilson hardly better in his own behavior on polls, according to informants handing out. Good on Mark Dreyfus for speaking up.
Essential viewing. 👇🧵. Today Federal MP Mark Dreyfus, addresses in Federal parliament the shameful & abhorrent misconduct of Liberal Tim Wilson @TimWilsonMP and his campaigners behaviour during the recent federal election in Goldstein (This seat neighbouring his own).#auspol

Not forgetting the 'servant of Empire' Robert Menzies who turned up in Cairo unannounced to 'mediate'. See Hassanein Heikal's 'Cutting the Lion's Tail'.

Might also note Mr Blair's so-called 'consultancy' was embroiled in discussions on the establishment of the aid-rationing Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and in the relocation of cleansed Gaza Palestinians to Somalia, or non-state Somaliland via the discredited BCG, reported the FT.
Tony Blair/Jared Kushner! Is this the same Mr Blair who connived his way into supporting the invasion of Iraq, and then wasted years as head of a failed search for Middle East peace? As for Mr Kushner, a cleansed Gaza is a real estate opportunity, apparently 😑.

🚨Scoop: Tony Blair and Jared Kushner will participate in a meeting on Gaza at the White House on Wednesday and present President Trump with ideas for a post-war plan. @MarcACaputo and me report for @axios .

Words fail absolutely 👇.
The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous. Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and
