In any other lifetime, “American president pays millions of dollars to a woman he sexually assaulted and then threatens to tax Canada because smoke can cross the border” would be such a big headline they’d bring back kids selling newspapers on the corner

That the Albanese govt has left this appallingly stupid Morrison 'policy' in place for so long can only mean one of two things: - they don't care enough to change it, or - they agree with it. #auspol

Both Switzerland and Norway have wealth taxes. They haven't 'destroyed liberty', 'disincentivised saving', 'killed entrepreneurialism' or even forced the rich to leave those countries.

Takes notes....

Facts, plain and straightforward 💯🎯

The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!

Just heard on tv that our elections are totally corrupt and unreliable. We have no choice but to start over and elect a new president

It’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.

John Menadue: “Australia’s deep military and political ties with the UAE expose it to risk while aligning with an autocratic partner. There is a spread of US bases right across the Gulf. The Gulf countries are paying the price as US vassals.” Australia vassal too. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

The hypocrisy of Farage pretending nostalgia for a time when state-ownership of public utilities was the norm and the very rich faced personal tax of 90%, corporation tax of over 45% all of which he abhors

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

sometimes i try to think perhaps i am being hyperbolic about everything, but it just is inarguably true that, after essentially winning an outright, sweeping victory for income inequality and a police state light on anything approaching services, the superrich are now attempting the coup de grace

UK and Australia take note #auspol

The CDC is so underfunded now that it's like: "Just remove the three outer layers of lettuce, so you don't consume any feces, then wash each interior leaf individually, so you remove any hidden feces. Good luck!"

Within 54 minutes of being sworn in as U.S. attorney, Roger Rogoff was fired by Trump via email. trib.al/ZgDui64 “While it is hardly surprising given the president’s regular abandonment of even the veneer of independence for the DOJ, it is no less appalling.”

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

Its taking more than just money, its also stealing your foundational civil liberties and human rights putting them under the control of transnational oligarchs involved in heinous crimes against humanity.

If these findings are accurate, they expose the staggering extent to which Palantir is taking from our country while giving back as little as possible www.opendemocracy.net/exclusive-ho...

Kash Patel uses government jets to attend concerts and sporting events. JD Vance asked that a $16,000+/hour helicopter take his young son to a golf lesson. These people are supposed to SERVE this country, not treat it like a personal luxury for their own frivolous use.

I'll go with logic.. #politics #logic

The American government will swear in a dead warmonger’s sister to take over his duties and then tell you they bomb other countries for ‘democracy’ The most propagandised people on Earth Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

I don’t get the point of spending a trillion dollars on “national security” when they can’t defend us against breathing in wildfire smoke or getting explosive diarrhea from eating lettuce

lol, opposition to data centers, especially tax breaks for these low-job-producing pollution monsters, is one of the few positions that cuts across party lines in U.S. politics. Trumper coming out openly in favor data centers is perfect. keep it up, Donny. dig that hole deeper, you orange fuck.

This is America.

Dr Assal Rad— "These are the headlines that should be in Western media."

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

Trump is scheduled to deliver his pack of lies about the 2020 election on Thursday. Eight days later, the White House Correspondents' Association plans to welcome him as an honored guest at its dinner. It's not too late to cancel the damn dinner and stop being quislings in service to a dictator.

🚨Australia's taxpayer-funded Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal remains a top executive of major pro-Israel lobby group ECAJ. Her ECAJ role was exposed last year - yet she still holds the position. And refuses to answer Senate... theklaxon.com.au/q4oi

There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.

VC of Syd Uni Mark Scott says he was blindsided by angry Jewish groups after agreeing to review the Uni’s Defence contracts with Israeli weapons manufacturers as part of a deal to end encampments Says they objected to the very idea of spkng to Muslim students🙄 Peak entitlement.

“greater clarity and speed for (data centre) approvals, and a streamlined process for verifying compliance” sounds a lot like waving through the worst shit imaginable in return for baubles

"If you want to build a data centre in Australia, you should be compelled to build the renewable energy and water recycling infrastructure to service it" Yes

market for launchpad explosions and unattainable promises not as bullish as previously imagined

i had no idea this would become so literal

America, where everything is for sale but nothing has value. Eat the rich. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

In the 1970s it was stated that real wage rises could be given only if #productivity increased which is why MPs are obsessed with it. Since then businesses have ensured that all productivity increases have been used to boost profits & executive remuneration. #Auspol

Data Centers are being built in secret. 🤐

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

These statements getting lazier over time is the predictable result of them not facing consequences for their previous murders. Why would they make up some convoluted reasoning to explain themselves? They don't have to

We continue the decades long loop of having the media and politicians acknowledge the widespread issue before falling short of fucking doing anything about it. chaser.com.au/general-news...
