If we’re going to have Chinese style autocracy in the US, I’d also like the renewable energy infrastructure, high speed rail, electric vehicles, investment in science, and good food.

Fantastic to hear some Americans recognise the damage Trump is doing.

It pisses me off that gay people are hated mostly because of some poorly translated ancient outdated book full of other bullshit idiots base their entire lives on. Religion is a curse, man.

Murdoch is trying to undermine the rule of law in the UK and to legitimise the incitement of violence. Murdoch is an enemy of democracy who has done more damage to the UK than any foreign enemy.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

The liberal world order is dead and neoliberalism killed it. We’re just living in its last breath

True Story...

A reminder from 4 months ago at the Munich Security Conference where China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, warns about the dangers of a “Might is Right” law of the jungle base for international order.

Record heat followed by record cold…welcome to climate change.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

It most certainly is!

Trump said he would "put every resource possible" into mass deportations.

A message from Barcelona

I guess they can train him up for shooting paramedics too 🤔 #auspol chaser.com.au/world/la-cop...

What are the israeli regime hiding to fire at an international diplomatic delegation to stop them going somewhere in the West Bank. Is our government ok with this delegation of our allies being fired upon? #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

UK suspends trade talks with Israel and attacks ‘repellent’ extremism. The Australian government meanwhile moves ahead with giving israeli weapons manufacturers $Billion government contracts. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

The israeli regime have never wanted peace. They want land. #auspol

Bingo. Jake Tapper is wasting precious time and aiding a fascist regime.

Condemnation is nowhere near enough. #auspol www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After a couple of years the bliss is starting to wear off the ignorance. Still, in our media it appears that in this genocide there are is no such thing as human rights, only the ‘rights’ of the inhumane occupiers. #auspol www.betootaadvocate.com/breaking-new...

The offensive has led to closure of northern Gaza's main hospitals, exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Andrew is right. We Have. To. Make. Choices.

He is completely clueless about what he is doing.

Labor have consistently aligned themselves with the Palestinians own stated goals - a cease-fire and a return to a two-state solution. What more do want? A fornal declaration of war? Because that's what it sounds like you want... And not even the Palestinians themselves are calling for that...

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

So Tim Wilson wins back Goldstein and his first thing he does is support nuclear power - three more years of this flaming drongo - Jesus wept.

If you had a chance to catch the whole exchange, it's worth watching. Carney comes across as the only adult in a roomful of toddlers. He also understands what the Dems do not, which is that Trump, like all bullies, is a coward, and shrinks in the face of stoicism.

Carney’s first and perhaps most critical political maneuver after being elected leader was tackling climate action without provoking voter backlash

I hope the left in Oz get a little more serious this term. Want dental in Medicare - then we ALSO have to reform private health insurance simultaneously Want to build a bazillion houses - then we ALSO have to dramatically reorganise supply chains and migration to overcome real resource constraints

‘Birds of a feather’ RAPE children together…👇 Remember that.

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

A better copy!

I wish American business leaders were as wise as China’s foreign ministry.

Rep. David Valadao expressed deep concerns that many of his GOP peers are pushing politically toxic, and ultimately doomed, proposals to make deep cuts to Medicaid

If the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia is so iron clad and simple, then it ought to be very easy to prove that by bringing him back, giving him due process, and winning in court.

Who needs accurate health information? Not the US government.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

True facts are true

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books
