To watch #SOTU or not? Ordinary TV sets can't measure viewing. Ratings are derived from households enrolled in Nielsen ratings and have People Meters attached to the TV, which count ppl watching. You won't drive down down ratings if you don't watch. Doesn't matter unless you're subbed to Nielsen.

Another case of prioritizing a man’s potential over the safety of women: doctor doesn’t lose license bc he supposedly only raped one woman and he had glowing reviews from colleagues

Same author claimed Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door cured his son’s eczema. Also claims Down Syndrome is caused by a “karmic debt” and can be “rehabilitated” with Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door www.researchgate.net/figure/My-so...

Yet more proof the IOC are awful www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

years ago Angus Taylor came to a meeting at Infigen Energy and we had a little bowl of multi-coloured mentos on the table, and all through the meeting he just ate a HUGE number of mentos. Just tearing through them like they were pringles

So the Heritage Foundation is basically the Taliban.

No more protesting thanks, that's it wrap it up it's not cohesive. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is interesting. Minns forced the deputy Commissioner for Counter-Terrorism to sign an NDA concerning who faked the "caravan explosives" stunt, which Minns then used to pass the same anti-protest laws that led to the vicious assaults on civillians by NSW Police, last Sunday. #MinnsIsraeliAsset

The NSW’s police’s use of excessive force in Sydney shows the anti-protest laws are not making the community safer. Pepper spray is used to incapacitate a violent assailant or to help arrest a suspect who is violently resisting. It should not be used indiscriminately spray a crowd kettled #Auspol

The Forced Birth march was a super spreader measles event newrepublic.com/post/206352/...

NSW cops should be absolutely ashamed of themselves tonight, seeing those videos of their unprovoked violence and brutality is disgraceful and disturbing. Even attacking people who were peacefully praying. This is all on the PM and the NSW Premier. They’ve caused this. So much for social cohesion.

everyone posting favourite kudelka cartoons - this was one of mine. hard to pick from so many perfectly captured moments, a remarkable brain and intellect and sense of humour but most of all just a really great bloke

A post from 2019. We’ve been betrayed 😞😞 #auspol

Thank uou so much for all the laughs, @kudelka.bsky.social. Rest easy now.

Jon Kudelka was not just the creator of the best tea towel in Australian history, and a great cartoonist and artists, but he was a superb friend, incredible husband and dad. Goddamn I will miss him

Herzog is not here to hug relatives of the dead in Bondi He’s here to pull Australian politicians into line

Shit.

@kudelka.bsky.social has died. He was a #GoodEgg. So talented. So passionate. Will be missed by so many. Vale Jon. 😢😢😢

The world is so much poorer for not having Jon Kudelka in it

@firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social @brontelee.bsky.social I just heard about Jon. I'm so sorry. We have lit a candle in his memory. ❤️

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

@strategywoman.bsky.social Happy Birthday! Not yours, mine. My pressie is a little bit in your paypal. Wishing you warmth and safety from the Blue Mountains of Australia. 🥰💙💛

Kyiv. Sunday evening. russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles for the second time today. I just wonder if there’s anything left in our energy infrastructure that hasn’t been destroyed yet.

It's so cold in DC that Donald Trump got excited when he heard it was going to be in the teens.

Today, the President warned CNN and MSNOW not to have me on their programs more — or else. Looking forward to joining CNN later this evening and MSNOW tomorrow morning. See y’all then.

THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS KICK DEFENCELESS LITTLE DOGGIES newrepublic.com/post/206282/...

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

@profccollins.bsky.social Dear Prof Collins, have you written anything or have opinions about the efficacy of 'probiotics' particularly vs stomach acid? Thanks! ping @doctorkarl.bsky.social

if you’re wondering about the tasmanian healthcare system my local doctor charges $50 to become a “new patient” at the practice. there’s no medicare rebate on that, it’s just fifty fucking dollars for the privilege of walking in the door to then pay to see a doctor HOW IS THAT LEGAL

because today wasn’t annoying enough for the first time in years i’m trying to speak to someone at a bank and now im ready to set fire to something. the robot has hung up on me 5 (FIVE) times because i refused to accept them sending me some bullshit link and kept asking to speak to a person

Accuse me of catastrophizing, but "‘We want to take over" is about as clear a warning as you will ever get.

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

I wanted to share something with you @techconnectify.bsky.social Someone relayed this story about your most recent Video, it made me smile and gave me some hope.

Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.

Next witness to testify is Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen and Chicago resident who was shot five times by CBP agents in October and was later charged with assaulting the agents who shot her. The U.S. Attorney's Office dropped those charges six weeks later.

We are now hearing from Antonio Romanucci, an attorney representing Good's family who also helped secure a record civil settlement for George Floyd's family. He's expanding on Blumenthal's call to add four words to US statute "so federal officers can be sued civilly if their conduct merits it."

Brent Ganger shares from the eulogy he wrote for his sister, as his brother puts an arm around him to console him. "Renee's not gone from us," he says.

Good's brother Luke Ganger begins by saying, "We're here to ask for your help." They thought perhaps their sister's death would bring about positive change, but it has not. He adds: "These encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives—including ours—forever."

Blumenthal: "Some day we should have a truth and justice commission to investigate the systematic failings." For now Blumenthal says he will not support another dime for DHS "unless there is fundamental far-reaching reform and restraint—in effect, a rebuilding—of the agency."

Blumenthal, running through a list of proposed reforms, says that the right to seek redress agents violating their rights can be accomplished with four words added to current U.S. code, and adds: "Rights without remedies are empty promises."

Already seated, listening to Garcia and now Sen. Blumenthal, are two of Renee Nicole Good's brothers, Luke and Brent Ganger. Blumenthal says Good and Alex Pretti, while here in spirit, "should be here in person, but they were murdered. They were murdered by their own government, in cold blood."

Garcia, holding up photos of Trump and top administration officials: "These people, every single one of them, has to be held accountable for the crimes, for the terror, and for the murders that are happening to our own people in this country."

Garcia is holding up a chart that shows how the Trump administration made "ICE the highest funded law enforcement agency in the history of the United States" and says this funding has been used "to terrorize, disfigure, and in some cases kill" US citizens.
