fucken what?

Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

🤬 Labor votes with the climate terrorist Coalition against David Pocock’s critically important climate duty of care bill aimed to protect young people from future climate harm. #auspol

Thank you Kat.This is how the world must respond to the Donlad Trump and his corrupt sychophants inside and outside the US govt. We must take up the fight against facism and authoritarian corrupt dictators then mend any and all legislative holes to end this. Remove the rich and religious.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Up to 80 men, women & children were murdered in a brutal & sustained attack by 25 white colonists led by Governor James Stirling. The Noongar were camped beside Murray River when the colonists surrounded them & began shooting. Survivors were forced into river where they were shot at for an hour.

The Australia Institute proudly co-hosted a climate summit yesterday, attended by people from all over Australia. And although there were lots of different views, everyone agreed on one thing: it's time to stop the expansion of fossil fuels. #auspol @leanneminshull.bsky.social

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

I towed a caravan north to south across Sydney’s toll roads as a favour to a friend 2 weeks ago. He said let me know what the tolls were & he would reimburse 4 roads x $20 = $80 $80 To travel at less than the speed limit The roads are almost entirely owned by Transurban, which rarely pays tax

Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire multiple times since day one, however, it has chosen to escalate its attacks and launched a major airstrike targeting a hospital.

"Fifty years after the dismissal—it is a national disgrace the full story is still yet to be told, as more than 1000 files relating to the dismissal remain closed by the National Archives of Australia. This is intolerable for our preeminent collecting institution—" johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

He started by gouging out the Rose Garden, then ruined this room with all the gold-plating and those ugly globular things on the mantle, and finally the whole East Wing. So the ballroom will be like him -- big, bloated, ugly, cavernously empty inside, with urine-colored fabric. And hideously tacky.

It's more a Barnaby drought text message "drought is bad" than a review. Nationals are a party of inbred clowns. Joke of a party. Nationals' net zero review has failed to undertaken or include any economic modelling. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... #auspol #abc730

The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed. #auspol #ClimateChange

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

🚨The "No" campaign against the Indigenous Voice was a fossil fuels-led sham. A major ARC study finds "Advance" a was massive spreader of fossil fuels propaganda ahead of the May federal election. One of biggest impediments to fossil fuels = Indigenous rights. theklaxon.com.au/9w0g

One year ago tonight.

Good morning. It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Heres a very familiar story in Aust playing out in UK. The polls being wildly wrong, big 20% swing against a UKs labor party who held this seat for 100 years, defeated by an Indy. Political puppet parties not working for the public will be ṛejected.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

#Fossilfuels are an economic dead end, says economist Nicholas Stern - "high carbon growth self-destructs.” Are @mark-carney.bsky.social & @davidebybc.bsky.social listening? www.theguardian.com/environment/... @granthamlse.bsky.social #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Stunning writing Stunning observations Watch how our society in all its facets - built by men, designed by men, produced by men, predominantly controlled by men - works to protect the man every time (From the BBC drama: The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies, on ABC iview I believe)

Yes, we should, #auspol As Europe proposes a ban on all PFAS, some researchers say Australia should do the same

Amy Remeikis on 🔥 today. This is what we expect from our leaders. #auspol thepoint.com.au/opinions/250...

Watch out for this kind of treachery coming through politicians who promote foreign interests. Its time to screen anyone who wants to represent the people in democratic systems.

Why are Trump-supporting oligarchs spending a fortune to defeat @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? Because they fear Mamdani's people-powered movement will end their plunder and finally make NYC affordable for the working class. Zohran is charting a path forward where billionaires have less power.

In 1975, Australia lost more than a Prime Minister — it lost its independence. The CIA’s hidden hand in Whitlam’s dismissal still echoes today. ~ Bevan Ramsden The role of the United States in the dismissal of the Whitlam Government independentaustralia.net/life/life-di...

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

So...would this include Woodside Energy, Santos Ltd, INPEX Corporation, Chevron, the Tasmanian salmon industry, other Australian Labor Party friends, Murray Watt?

Good! #releasetheEpstienfiles. Sue the pants off sycophant Mike Johnson who has repeatedly lied and refused to swear in Grijalva.

"In a statement to Guardian Australia on Tuesday, Watt said: 'No one will get everything they want'.” Not true, minister. The fossil fuel companies will get *exactly* what they want. But of course, you know that. You work for them. #environment #ClimateCrisis #auspol

Australians are the biggest gamblers in the world, and the government has taken little action despite strong public support. ‘We know from the polling that we’ve conducted that the majority of Australians, about 75%, would support a ban on gambling advertising.’ - Morgan Harrington #auspol

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

The cool and foggy 20C morning before what if forecast to be Sydney's hottest October day EVER with temps over 40C.

It’s a great shame our National Press Club didn’t proceed with address by Pulitzer winning war correspondent Chris Hedges. His insights into IDF manipulation of media messaging are instructive. Western media is easily played. And the IDF murders non-compliant in situ journalists.
