"It is not true that Australia has never experienced a revolution. Fifty years ago, the nation saw a bloodless coup where the underpinning conventions of our parliamentary democracy were overthrown." Paul Bongiorno on the Dismissal:

Just dropped into FB - seems like there's nothing much other than AI-generated videos of faux people talking to faux chimps.

Check it out. They don't even list the prices of their "Medically Tailored Food Boxes" - you have to contact them for a quote! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "Let them eat super-foods!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 www.planet-harvest.com/about-us

The Art of the Grift.

Starting to make Russia look democratic.

But why the obligatory, adoring, blonde wife in the frame? Haven’t we outgrown this heteronormative bullshit yet?

HILARIOUS that Mike Johnson thinks Trump being on the ballot in next year's mid-terms is gonna be their saving grace.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

I can't actually type here the things I have thought about this putrid, little creature...

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Am I right in assuming that this is the first time in the USA that a candidate has declared themself to be a democratic socialist and won an election? #SocialistsAreSexy💋

In Florida!!!

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Woke 2.0 is gonna be gayer and with twice as much Marxism. We've never been more back.

Islamophobes, this is what you call a smack down!

Murdoch's reactionary, Islamophobic, fear-mongering headlines didn't cut through. This is the biggest win of all. #MURDOCHMediaMenaceMustBeObliterated

I know Gavin Newsom tends to be viewed as a bit slick, but as politicians go, I gotta say, he is a goddam polished performer. His answers to questions are quick, articulate, and punchy. Reminds me of Paul Keating, though not as funny.

Bring it on home, California!

This has a bit of "Welcome Back, Kotter" vibe 😂💙👍.

Democratic Socialism is sexy again! Looks like it's time for some serious rebranding, Dems! #AllthatREDSUNDERTHEBEDSstuffisSOOOOOOMid20thC!!!

As per a Google search, minimum wages in the US and Australia are: US - $7.25 (equivalent to $11.20 AU by today's exchange rate) Australia - $24.95 (AU dollars) Imagine how little you would be paid in the US if your employer paid you on a cash-in-the-hand basis. #USATheGreatestCountryonEarth?

Mamdani is such a little cutie. 😍

PA Supreme Court retains its 5-2 democratic majority! HELL FUCKIN YEAH!

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

But PLEASE explain to me why not a single journalist ever asks him to list these eight wars. Not one. EVER! #WhatHappenedtoJournalism?

Trump accuses others of "taking advantage" because that, of course, is what he has done ALWAYS in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. #TrumpKINGofPROJECTION

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

I used to like dressing up as male characters when it was Book Week. I was a damn fine Sirius Black. I think making transgender mandatory is a helluva good idea, actually. Trans one way, trans the other way, give non-binary a go, or stick with your assigned gender, because... WHO THE FUCK CARES?

Trump is gonna go on a "radical left media" rampage...

I love Stephen Colbert's impersonation of Bessent.

Spanberger seems great. Exciting result!

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

I second this. "Godzilla Minus One" is a really beautiful film, made for close to peanuts by Hollywood standards. If you haven't seen it, get your shit together and watch it.

Donald: "It's a book?"

Actually, I think voters just hate leadership across the board. Pale, male and stale gets pretty monotonous.

It's cool to be kind, actually.

The Voyager story is one of my favourites.

Anything less than being torn apart by a pack of wolves just doesn't cut it, does it?

There be monsters...

Imagine having to sit there an listen to this guy for 73 minutes.

Yeah, I thought it had to be a trolling - why else would they have fed him beef patties at the dinner.

This is an excellent idea!!!

The Trump Administration is either trolling us, or just hot for muscly, white men. theblackwallsttimes.com/2025/09/10/t...

She's so great. youtu.be/hW8fzLR5YDU?...

What a pack of gutless, fucking freaks these mask-wearing scumbags are. #ICE=IgnorantCriminalElement

New haircut. Wet, apply styling mousse, tussle - done!

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation. Here in the UK, just one-third of the vote could give Nigel Farage a huge majority of MPs. Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

'“These findings highlight that COVID-19, like many other infections in pregnancy, may pose risks not only to the mother, but to fetal brain development,” Dr. Andrea Edlow, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Mass General Brigham and senior author of the new study, said in a news release.'
