"Living in poverty while at uni, that's not the way it should be for a society that's about mobility and opportunity." Professor George Williams discussed his new Vantage Point essay 'Aiming Higher: Universities and Australia's future' on RN Breakfast! #auspol

Once again, SCOTUS undermines the rule of law, its own legitimacy, and the lower federal courts with a 'back of the napkin' explanation that doesn't even bother to analyze the issue under the standards for staying an injunction—all to enable a bigoted attack on a targeted group.

He really is a complete piece of shit.

Having Sarah Henderson not supporting you is something you should frame and put on a wall.

That's the bumper sticker

DHS / ICE appears to have rolled out their new cell phone tracking platform in DC. I'm getting these every 5-10 minutes on my phone. Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Pam Bondi need to be jailed for life.

Gaming regulator announces temporary halt on accepting bribes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

my take on this growing "roblox should be in the teen social media ban" discourse is that this is what happens when a government tells the electorate/the world that the way to deal with online harms is to ban something for kids, and let everyone else suffer.

A reminder of how big a trillion is. 1 trillion seconds = 31,546 years

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We've seen how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires. Be warned.

'One juror told reporters after the verdict that she didn’t think the officer felt threatened by the sandwich and laughed when asked if she felt the sub “exploded” as the officer claimed.' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ edition.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

“World’s first trillionaire” is a caricature of capitalism that even Engels would have struggled to credit

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Tasmania once criminalised people for being gay or for cross-dressing. Yesterday Tasmania's Parliament finally passed laws to erase those convictions and offer redress for the harm caused. This is justice decades overdue.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

Just a perfect image of Trump

PANIC!! My @smh @theage cartoon

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

"Charles was a very active participant in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam 50 years ago. Don’t make any mistake about that. Charles was up to his royal ears in it. He was not politically neutral. He sided with privilege and aristocracy." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

Bahahahahahaha

The duopoly just joined forces in the Senate to vote down an #AUKUS inquiry. Never mind the political, technical & management risks associated with the program, or the $365B price tag - the two major parties are happy sleepwalking with your national security and money. #auspol

BREAKING: The Albanese Labor Government just joined with the Coalition to vote against an inquiry into AUKUS proposed by the Greens.

I didn't know that Greenblatt was an elected official that Mamdani has to answer to/be nice to

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

That Donald Trump. He just wins at negotiations www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Always love debriefing politics with @amyremeikis.bsky.social. We looked at what’s behind the Nats big announcement #natzero, Barnaby, what it means for the future of the Coalition, @davidpocock.bsky.social working overtime as opposition… AND THE GREAT BORGENING 😍 on.soundcloud.com/l4c236mjmQjC...

Virginia didn’t come to play

Hello, police? I’d like to report a murder.

Even when they are stealing property, they still can't make a profit and need govt handouts

Which is why we're going to use police powers to stop a person’s welfare payment before any court process. Just like Jesus would have wanted.

Hard, fast rule from a veteran police reporter: Excepting anyone engaged in infiltrating a criminal conspiracy in an undercover capacity, any law officer who hides his identity from the public is a shitheel is doing vile shit and is, in fact, actively destroying the credibility of law enforcement.

\Content warning\ @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social has been on Sky News to finally respond to the below groups who have asked her to hear our concerns about the separation of powers, due process and unintended consequences. She has dismissed these concerns in the vilest way possible.

The Free Press' front page is four articles of MANDAMI PANIC, a Dick Cheney nostalgia essay, and one of the richest people in the world writing about why he gave $100 million to Bari Weiss' unaccredited anti-woke college.

As always, it's appalling at the same time it's so cheap, tawdry, and embarrassing. What a pathetic, shabby little gangster.

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

Went from the election being neck and neck on election eve to we expected to lose now

No no no, did he pre-cope in private? Not fair, we deserve at least 4 paragraphs where the feelings shine through
