In all seriousness- why is there so much hatred in America? These people care nothing for anyone except their own little family. Nothing for anyone else. What a soulless way to live.

If you examine posts on X from the Right on topics like immigration, eligibility for office, crime, welfare eligibility etc it’s often impossible to distinguish UK, US or Australia. They repeat phrases word for word independent of context or facts. Yet they go on about patriotism & “globalists”

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My Trump flag waving neighbors all hire brown people to do their yardwork.

Yeah, what happens after we deport people has consequences that the news doesn't like to report. www.latintimes.com/four-haitian...

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

This one hits hard.

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”

“The full cost of AUKUS can’t be measured in budgets, delivery schedules or shipyard capacity alone. It must reckon with something less tangible but more consequential: Australia’s silence,” writes Jo Tarnawsky, Richard Marles' former chief-of-staff. satpa.pe/8OeRhdr

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

“Liberal” (opposition) leader change in Oz. However much the commentators and voters complain about it all, at least in our current democratic system they don’t have to round up a militia and kill each other

“If political protests should only be allowed or prohibited by politicians, then whether or not the public is allowed to criticise politicians is in the hands of the very people they are seeking to criticise.” – Alice Grundy Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/4bGYqi9

"Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax in 2025. Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. See the problem here?" ~ Robert Reich

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

Summary of Peter Hartcher article in Nine

Racist garbage continues to emanate from this President and his White House.

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment? "Pull factors" on steroids. www.bbc.com/news/article...

podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/7... It would be good for all Australians to listen to this very short podcast and consider who gets outraged at what and why

imagine being the father or mother or son or daughter or sibling of one of those brave British troops who died in Afghanistan, and having to listen to this crass ignorance

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

MAGA supporters are never going to admit or even accept to themselves that their support for Trump has made the world more unstable, less safe, more economically insecure, more hateful and more divided. They are a movement hellbent on revenge because they’ve lost their privilege and want it back.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

"Fierce opposition to ICE and the Border Patrol has sprung up through block clubs, neighborhood group chats, school Facebook groups and Catholic parishes, stretching beyond the typical Democratic voter base..." Yup. Exactly. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

REPORTER: How does ICE killing Renee Good equate to them doing everything correctly? LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good killed? R: “Are you asking me my opinion? Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably.” L: “Oh, okay. So, you’re a biased reporter with a left wing opinion.”

Reform front bench is beginning to look like the Tory Cabinet from the last failed Tory Government Plus a Nepo Baby who lives in Dubai And a guy who spends so much time earning from outside interests he is barely in Parliament or his constituency And an MP who they can't afford to let do any media

Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota: youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU

Today, Attorney General Ellison announced a lawsuit to end ICE’s aggressive and unconstitutional surge into Minnesota. This operation was never about safety, it’s a targeted political operation and Minnesota won’t stand for it.

Joe Thompson is a principled public servant who spent more than a decade achieving justice for Minnesotans. This is a huge loss for our state. It’s also the latest sign Trump is pushing nonpartisan career professionals out of the justice department, replacing them with his sycophants.

Trump admits that this is nothing but political retribution. Minnesota voted against him three times and now he’s punishing us – putting lives at risk and wasting enormous resources in the process.

Just finished this pebbles picture (my third I think) in #colouredpencil (on ClaireFontaine PaintOn) #natureart From a photo I took at a beach on Rhodes while on a lovely family holiday in October

For whatever it's worth, my ex is an Israeli Jew and sent me your cartoon the day it was published, saying "she gets it"

damn damn damn those #solar panels.... how are those poor electricity companies supposed to make $$$ on the spot market it there is no shortage of power because of those selfish sun stealing solar panels... it is just not fair ;) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... #renewableenergy

Trump is a liar. That should be the headline on every newspaper across the globe every day of his presidency. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen that headline even once. Even when Trump lies multiple times a day. It’s beyond infuriating. Here’s him lying about the ICE shooting. bbc.com/news/videos/...

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

See? It's not about stealing Venezuela's oil. It's about Donald Trump getting rich off that stolen oil.

Regarding Albo I remain optimistic. I think he's deliberative and thoughtful, and that doesn't equate to weakness. And think of where we'd be with Dutton, a sycophant who thrives on division.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Is there anything Trump could do or say to receive negative press coverage? He's now accusing Tim Walz of having Melissa Hortman assassinated - a hugely offensive and defamatory allegation. Yet, this constant unhinged, unethical, illegitimate behaviour just goes completely unremarked in the media.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
