After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

The Genocide continues.

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

The father of twelve children, who promotes families having more children, spent Thanksgiving with none of them. Instead, he was discussing video games with Barron and awkwardly bopping to YMCA, referred to as the ‘Gay National Anthem’.

In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis the Labor-Coalition duopoly are going to vote together to give themselves an extra $83 million of public money, that is your money, for their election campaigns. Another triumph of self-interest. #ToneDeaf #auspol

‘Why didn’t she leave?’ She did; he dragged her back & his cop colleagues didn’t investigate. She died horrifically - coroner referred him to police. He got four years holiday on full pay & is a serving cop again. #WarOnWomen www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Great example of why watchdog journalism - rather than stenography - is so important! 👏🏻

Shout-out to ABC national regional affairs reporter Lucy Barbour for revealing how two regional hospitals - Orange and Queanbeyan – have been trying to introduce #abortion bans by stealth. Both bans have since been reversed. This is why #journalism matters. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

rare to have a social network where the CEO isn't the main character and we'd like to keep it that way but for the record, @jay.bsky.team is the CEO of bluesky, jack dorsey is no longer on the board and he owns 0% of the company

Gas companies are... to put it bluntly... arseholes.

The Australia Institute@australiainstitute.org.au

The gas giants that export Australia's gas are meant to pay Petroleum Resources Rent Tax. But it raises less money than uni students pay in HECS. It’s time the gas industry started paying its fair share. #auspol
