The way this is being framed is terrible. Trump has bombed and killed people in another country and abducted their leader. Imagine if this were China doing this. What would be the reaction then?

CIA Orchestrates Coup D’État To Replace Entire Population Of Venezuela theonion.com/cia-orchestr...

Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope). Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

Dear Western media, Helpful list of words and phrases to use in your reports on the US action: • illegal • attack, bombing, invasion • abduct, abduction, kidnapping • breach of international law Words matter. Facts matter. You're welcome. #USA #Venezuela #journalism

This will give some perspective to what is going on. Well done @samwallman another thought provoking piece of art!!!

How in the frog-boiling fuck do we live in a world where the simple phrase “stop bombing children” now seems to be both deeply subversive AND anti-semitic? #NewsCorpse

The State LNP government in Qld has today announced a commitment to Blackouts, rye water energy costs and a new way to shovel money into their donors pockets. They call it their Energy Road Map. What a disaster. #auspol #qldpol

The thing about Nancy Mace’s bill to have Charlie Kirk lie in state at the U.S. Capitol is that they should release the Epstein files.

This was published yesterday (didn't seem like a great time to share it, something else was on). independentaustralia.net/politics/pol... It's about the dawn service booing, the astroturfed post-Referendum effort by Advance Australia to drum up political capital by attacking Welcomes to Country.

Australian PM shrugs off questions about Donald Trump as other world leaders congratulate him

@goldingcartoons.bsky.social provides a cheeky (but accurate?) comment. #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes #PeterDutton #GinaRinehart

Peter Dutton has lost his seat in Dickson. This is great news for the political landscape in Australia. Even better for the people who live in Dickson.

There it is

So, surprise, surprise, it turns out that the USA isn’t as open to sharing technology under #AUKUS as Defence Minister Richard Marles has claimed. Another reason why we need a no-holds-barred Senate inquiry to lift the lid off this radioactive can of worms. #auspol

In Queensland the LNP are stopping hospitals being built. We desperately need the extra beds and facilities. This cause is close to my heart - please sign: www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/bu...

Anyone who said this wouldn’t happen lives in a parallel MAGA universe.

So tax cuts (surprise!) tinkering here, tinkering there, no mention of climate change, we’re committed to going down with Aukus no matter the cost and still no taxing fossil fuel companies - there’s your 2025 Budget. Now for the election

Pope Francis Flips Off Crowd From Balcony

The Australian Submarine Agency has now admitted the $368B #AUKUS project is “very high risk”. Here’s another pointer to why that’s so. Yet the ALP/LNP have lashed themselves to the AUKUS mast, or rather periscope; turning a blind eye to the looming shipwreck. #auspol

Does anyone else think it’s weird that #Dutton started wearing glasses when he came up against #Albo I wonder how much money Dutton has spent on coaching to try and soften his image and appear human? That might be an even bigger scandal. #auspol

This headline for a policy that costs $8.5bn over 4 years, of a budget that by 2027-28 is expected to have total spending in a year of $826 billion.

. @helenhayes.bsky.social is right. The cosy ALP/LNP deal to shroud #NACC in secrecy has severely damaged the effectiveness of our national anti-corruption agency. This mess must be fixed. Voting for independent voices is the way to get there. #auspol www.helenhaines.org/media/the-co...

THE CLOSURE OF FOODSTAR SUNSHINE WATCH: youtu.be/7kG2gQzOynQ Looking at the closure of legendary Sunshine all-you-can-eat Foodstar. I also discuss 'Wefo-fication', the Millennium Man, the death of the buffet and the changing class demographics of Melbourne's Western suburbs.

Dutton is saying that electricity consumption will drop by 44% the rest of the world is powering ahead building infrastructure and investing new green tech right now!!!!

A prominent Zionist casually implying that hospitals in this country should be bombed like they were in Palestine - very normal timeline we’re living in.

You don't often see the desire for more people to be out of work stated so blunty. Also in this op-ed Hogan says the cash rate should have gone to 5%. Some people *really* wanted a recession.

Don’t fucking threaten us with a good time mate.

Peter Dutton‬⁩’s nuclear power fantasy isn’t going to happen. It’s a scam, born out of policy bankruptcy and the backroom machinations of the gas cartel and coal lobby. There’s no chance it will reduce power prices, quite the contrary. #auspol

It’s now clear #AUKUS nuclear reactors will be dismantled at Port Adelaide and the SA Government is considering storing spent nuclear fuel in SA. Why are discussions on these topics being held in secret with a UK company and not openly with the SA public? #FOI #saparli

Dutton would be correct if he replaced “Greens” with his own name.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Idk? The whole Trump thing is just starting to sound very 3rd Reichy atm.

This is completely normal and these fires happen all the time. It couldn’t have anything to do with climate change. Maybe it’s the wind turbines causing it?

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

Every now and then I see those lists posted claiming all the great things the govt has done and the NACC always gets listed. And lol. Nah. Not a thing to brag about in its current form.

Dutton really wants to shore up his vote in North Carolina

Dutton said he boycotted the apology to the stolen generation because it was just symbolic… so now he wants to get rid of the major symbols of Indigenous Australians

It’s their solution to everything. Guess what? It always results in poverty and hard times for workers but record profits for business.

This was in Woolies’ press release about their injunction application today - interesting choice.

Heart breaking to see this happen. The USA embargo has been slowly tearing Cuba apart over the years. The people there have always prevailed. Hopefully they find a way through this.

SDA are joining with Woolies to break the strike. UWU members are holding the line to make sure they get their fair share of the profits and that they are treated as humans not robots. #solidarity #workerunited

Woolies has announced that they’re going to try and break the strike again tomorrow (Tuesday 3 December 2024) Please share this around if you can and if you’re able to, please bring yourself and some mates to 2 Portlink drive, Dandenong south at 5am. youtube.com/shorts/wQ0gX...
