Hey Americans how’s habeas corpus going ? Apparently it got suspended while you’ll were watching Venezuela and Greenland. Just like the Roman Emperors providing entertainment for the masses to take minds off the lack of bread. The White House Circus plays on. Rome burned vt.tiktok.com/ZSaDqNbQQ/

"Australia does not suffer from a lack of empathy. It suffers from selective empathy. .. nowhere is that clearer than in the way our political and media class decide who is allowed to mourn" Andrew Brown on #Bondi #indigenous #auspol #antisemitism michaelwest.com.au/mourning-bon...

Listening to markets doesn’t tell how the bottom 50% of people are doing. Why ? Because they only own around 1%. It is a poor metric of well being of a country when it only reflects the top 1-10% wealthiest. That’s why trump and his cronies ignore everything and everyone else.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California. This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

In Davos, at the World Economic Forum, Ukraine was not allowed to display what the Russian drone that attacks the country every night looks like. So we decided to show you the Russian weapons that are used to kill Ukrainians. This is not a small drone for catching beautiful photos 👇 UkraineWorld

Freedom of speech rights and right to protest in Australia falling faster than Tesla sales in the US -48% @freedomhouse we need a new evaluation please

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

#Carney at #Davos gave The Speech for this Age Full transcript PS Carney wrote this www.weforum.org/stories/2026...

US Senator Thom Tillis: "Vladimir Putin is a murderer. He's a liar on his best day. And what we're seeing in Ukraine are his worst days. You can't trust him." Yes, Putin is a murderer. He keeps murdering people right now, committing a genocide in Ukraine.

Tl/dr: I wish I voted down this terrible legislation that’s now a culture war flashpoint but I missed the vote, also this law is terrible and even though it ONLY passed because of my colleagues, this is Labor’s fault and I’ll fight it but this isn’t my colleagues fault at all

Whether it's illegal to say it or not (?), Israel is quite clearly committing genocide in Palestine. The Australian government (but not the Australian people) is quite clearly supporting it. And our farce of a democracy is being further eroded so people don't speak this truth.

This is what happens when you set up a Liberal Party to only have Abbott, Morrison, Dutton types. Anyone slightly sane either leaves or loses and you are left with Sussan and Hastie and people like Ted O’Brien. Well done Johnny. Your dream is achieved!

"Don’t kid yourself, folks: There is no magic bullet here," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org in The Situation. "There is, instead, a long hard slog ahead of us—a long hard slog of elections, advocacy, protest, litigation, and people fighting for their rights."

Amazing when you have a system that lets the private sector deliver a public service it gets rorted. Grog’s Rule: When you privatise public services be sure to also allocate space in a few years for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system.
