Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

DOJ is also being infiltrated by pro-Kremlin lawyers. Everyone already knows the GOP is bought by Russian oligarchs but the level to which they have infiltrated the federal gov will still shock some people when it comes out.

Trump posted two videos in response to the #NoKings protests, and I'm not sure which was worse

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

Law of the sea expert chiming in to say there is no lawful basis for military strikes against vessels for customs infringements on the high seas or in any other maritime zone, including the territorial sea. These are unlawful extra-judicial killings.

‘The cost of solar power and batteries has fallen 80% in the last decade, with offshore wind costs down 73% and onshore wind down 57%. Stern said the growing economies of scale of climate technology’ Take note, AUS ‼️ #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

No one should be allowed to behave like a maliciously gluttonous dragon hoarding ever more abstract piles of wealth while billions starve--on pain of mob violence and guillotining. Anyone who does should be fair game. And sex work should be decriminalized and regulated for worker benefit.

It shouldn't be niche, but the moment private property was invented and land became owned by individuals and corporations, universal basic income became a human right, and every day since, it has been unethical to not implement UBI.

The World Meteorological Organization just confirmed it: the planet’s breaking point isn’t in the future, it’s the present. CO₂ jumped faster than ever, the oceans are choking, forests are failing, and governments are still approving coal mines. Welcome to denial. #ClimateCrisis

In all seriousness, This Portland neo-Dada-ist inflatable revival is the perfect response to our current flavour of fascism. Anonymous armed and armored goons took a giraffe into custody for preaching peace and love.

Confirming what we already know.

barnaby joyce talked about using "bullets" to "say goodbye" to the prime minister and he faced no consequences i wonder why Lydia Thorpe gets treated differently... cant qwhite work that out

Some good news! Electricity from renewables overtakes coal in Australia for the first time

1/ I try my hardest to be a responsible adult, but every once in a while, I giggle so hard like a little girl, I want to pass on the glee. Pete Kegsbreath, he of the "manly men only" speech, is getting Botox injections. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It's become obvious peaceful protests with everyone documenting everything with video and pictures is Trump's Kryptonite. I hope everyone contributes to No Kings Day Oct. 18th. Even if you can't go, you can call your state Reps, or help in other ways to unite American's against Authoritarianism.

Horrific treatment of a hero doctor. Israel calls these "arrests" but they are in fact kidnappings, as Israel has no legal authority in Palestine. The International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion that Israel illegally occupies Gaza and The West Bank, must withdraw, and pay compensation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Most media are glossing over Israel soon releasing 1,700 Palestinians it abducted and held without charge--in other words, hostages they kidnapped. And they're not releasing all of them.

American Motorsport: Let's race around an oval velodrome, boring as batshit, lap after lap. Australian Motorsport: Let's take one of our most mountainous, windy and twisty public roads in Oz, close it for the weekend and race there. A NASCAR driver wouldn't make the end of lap one at Bathurst.

BREAKING Anthony Albanese approves 50 million dollar funding for new wing of the Australian War Memorial to honour those who served in the Conflicts of Interest. The collection is expected to include a display of at least 16 of Paul Brereton’s hats #auspol

Anthony Albanese’s long-standing aversion is being written into law. Attorney-General Michelle Rowland’s Freedom of Information Amendment Bill 2025 seeks to tilt the system firmly away from disclosure, writes Jason Koutsoukis. satpa.pe/oIyznrV

I don't doubt it... it's actually the same in Australia. I don't watch Murdoch news but MIL does. Never a family breakup though. We just pour another drink lol 😆

One of the greatest prime ministers in Australia’s history. The definition of belligerence at its best. A defiant humanitarian who never ever gave up the fight for independence and equality for all ❤️🕊️ #GoughWhitlam www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10... #auspol

@iandunt.bsky.social Australian National Press Club cancels Chris Hedges talk and replaces with Israeli speaker. Not hard to see what happened here. Such hypocrisy

There's a network of campsites called Camping With Custodians across the north of Western Australia. Staying on Country with its traditional custodians, observing first hand some of the oldest cultures in the world. Today, at the gorgeous Lombadina community, it's been an eventful day. 🧵

“The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable.“ “This is not a climate-zealot kind of approach. Our old coal-fired power stations are… getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy.” Love Australia’s no-bullshit vibe.

Imagine that

Me to @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the Comey and James and (probably imminent) Bolton prosecutions "It doesn’t matter what your politics are. If you say he’s stupid, which he is, if you say he is wrong, which he is, if you say he’s a criminal or sleezy, which he is ... then you’re his enemy.”

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

Roberts is presiding over, and driving, a stunning collapse in faith in the U.S. Supreme Court, not just among the public, but among federal judges. What a failure. The Titanic captain of chief justices.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims. If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A small group of federal agents in camouflage and face masks watched from atop the immigration processing center Thursday night as a unicorn, peacock, dinosaur and raccoon danced to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
