Soooo true

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Defend this, Trump supporters. Defend this. Be my guest.👇

The Titanic is a great analogy: a ship that they proclaimed was unsinkable and then because of that they didn't bring lifeboats for anyone except the exceptionally wealthy so a lot of poor people took the brunt of what happened. Anyway.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

This this this this this. Men, please read and share and have these conversations with other men and with your sons, your brothers, your male friends and colleagues. This work has to be done by the men. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

The critical defining feature of violence in Australian society is that it is, almost entirely, male. Pointing fingers in every direction (media, social media, gaming, gambling, porn, politics, whatever) will achieve nothing if it isn't also accepted that the problem is fundamentally a male one.

I can’t believe someone would intentionally want to hurt Helen Haines. She is always respectful of others views, respected across the Parliament and community and a glowing example of how an MP should represent her electorate. Our thoughts are with Helen and her family.

Attn: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov. This is how it's done when done correctly and with commensurate solemnity to the offense. Get it together!!

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

🇨🇿🇺🇦🇺🇸 Czech PM Babiš on Ukraine: Trump has essentially betrayed us by doing that business with Putin. We have to do something.

⚡️ "No one will convince me that the surrender of those defending their freedom can be called peace," Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says. She sharply criticized the easing of sanctions on Russian diesel, warning that it contradicts efforts to push Putin to negotiations.

Just imagine 👇

⚡️ "For three days, we didn't attack any energy or diesel systems of Russia, and for three days they attacked us," Zelenskyy said. Speaking to the Financial Times, the Ukrainian president stressed that Russia directly targeted key energy infrastructure across the country during the pause.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🚀 Zelensky: Can you give me missiles for Patriot? Because when I don't attack them, because you asked me, they will attack me. It's fair if you give me something with which to defend myself. That's the minimum I'm asking for. And when I'm asking this, your answer is blocking Starlink.

Trump says people who expose his administration’s crimes should be shot, referring to them as “leakers.” He then points at the media, saying they are “almost like leakers,” before praising supporters he claims would stand by him even if he murdered someone.

The question is how far he'll get, not if he'll try.

😩😩😩

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: We learned about Trump's energy ceasefire from the media. Why doesn't America conclude a diesel deal with Ukraine? We're influencing whether these ships are moving. We define whether the refineries are working.

There is, writes @davidfrum.bsky.social, an "implicit quid pro quo in these lucrative deals offered to Trump’s family and friends: If you compel Ukraine to surrender, we will enrich you beyond reckoning" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

4% increase in imports from Canada would easily replace the entire physical volume of diesel “negotiated” in the new US-Russia pact.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

What’s happening to our climate is utterly terrifying. We’re looking at 4 degrees above average this southern summer www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nauseating. A grotesque betrayal of the US, our values and our allies. The United States has no greater enemy than Donald Trump.

"Last year, the world’s oceans absorbed an additional 23 zettajoules worth of heat, setting a new record for the ninth year straight. It’s equivalent to Hiroshima bombs going off every second for a year, or roughly 40 times the energy the entire world consumed in 2025." www.cnn.com/2026/09/30/c...

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

This is how stupid our moronic president sounds. What a total Idiot and disgrace.

I just can’t. This is more stupid and dangerous and evil than really should be possible.

Yup🤔💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Matt ‘cosplay’ Canavan is criticising schools for teaching boys about basic consent. He thinks this is “feminising” our schools, as if teaching boys to be respectful is feminine, & therefore bad. Given violence against women & girls is ubiquitous, boys need to learn that it’s NOT ok to be abusive.

We destroyed our planet and now the consequences. A grim read. "The El Niño is likely to be the largest in at least 1,000 years...and 2027 is set to “blow apart” the record and be the hottest year ever recorded." #ClimateCrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Looks like the Pentagon has finally realized that having a third of active duty troops having long COVID is not sustainable. Better late than never. I hope they don't waste too much of that money reinventing the wheel. We do have nearly seven years of research that they should review.

This really took a very short amount of time to happen.

Over the last 25 years, six people who contracted measles in the U.S. died from it. A model built by Stanford researchers predicts that if Americans could no longer get the vaccine, measles could kill about 290,000 people in the next 25 years. (Published March)
