It’s always been a fairytale. The involvement of the CIA in Gough Whitlam’s sacking let us know just how the relationship works.

“For decades, Australia has comforted itself with a familiar bedtime story: that our alliance with the United States is equal, benign, and stabilising.. That story has expired. The United States is no longer a stable liberal democracy.” By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/australia-is...

Australia isn’t plotting revolt. It’s Oliver Twist, asking politely for a spoonful more sovereignty — while waiting for Murdoch to nod. Albanese has the evidence, the public, the experts. What he’s waiting for isn’t proof. It’s permission. theaimn.net/australia-is...

“Accountability has finally entered the room. And, as always, Trump’s first instinct is not to engage it, but to look for the exits.” By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/trump-and-th...

Dickens gave Scrooge a redemption arc. Trump gets none. His ghosts aren’t here to teach empathy — they’re here to collect. Accountability, enablers, consequences deferred. Escaping responsibility works… until the tower collapses. theaimn.net/trump-and-th...

'We'll certainly sue': Trump vows vengeance after being named 3,000 times in Epstein files

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists recently set the Doomsday Clock to 85 seconds to midnight. Predictably, some commentary rushed to place artificial intelligence at the centre of the threat. So we asked AI who is driving the threat: they said humans are. theaimn.net/we-asked-two...

A federal judge said the reporters broke no law. The government said: try another judge. That’s not normal — and that’s why this matters. 👇 threadreaderapp.com/thread/20174...

Perhaps this movie is important after all. Not because it says anything. But because it doesn’t. 85 seconds to midnight.

First they came for the journalists. For documenting what was happening. We were told it was necessary. We were told they deserved it.

First the smear. Then the walk-back. Now the chain of command appears on screen.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Certainty first. Doubt later. Scapegoating after that. Screenshots don’t forget.

It’s very notable that Stephen Miller’s wife is going out of her way to highlight these comments. Stephen Miller smeared Alex Pretti—calling him a “domestic terrorist” and “assassin” to justify his murder. Now Katie Miller and her husband are trying to throw others under the bus.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

BREAKING (satire): As ICE brutality expands nationwide, police departments are considering dropping “ICE” from their name — citing brand confusion, reputational damage, and the risk of being shot by federal agents.

A free press at gunpoint is not a free press.

When power fears observation more than resistance, it tells you everything about how fragile its authority has become.

We’ve seen the video. ICE murdered an innocent man in cold blood. No amount of lies from the Trump administration will convince us otherwise. By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/when-the-cam...

When the camera did not look away, it preserved what remains. What follows is what it saw. theaimn.net/when-the-cam...

You misspelled "BORED".

We didn’t move the Overton window — it shattered once people had a million screens to cross-check politics against reality. You can distort the dashboard. You can’t fake the road. That’s why old political myths aren’t landing anymore. theaimn.net/beyond-the-o...

📢ICE GET THE HELL OUT OF MINNESOTA. Minnesotans please join tomorrow’s ICE Out of Minnesota Day of Truth & Freedom here: iceoutnowmn.com

Shut it all down. Do whatever it takes to fight back againgst fascism.

1004 businesses shut down today

Another proud day for America.

It’s crazy how the US already has Greenland…. How it used to have Canada…. How it once had Venezuela…. It’s losing Europe. The UK has to make a call soon. Australia will make the same call as UK.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

“I watched a short clip of Miranda Devine attempting to explain why younger women dislike Donald Trump. It was awful.” By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/daddy-issues...

"A protester detained, her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, and some of her clothes never returned..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

“Australia is rightly having another conversation about bushfires, housing vulnerability, and what can realistically be done to reduce loss.” By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/we-cant-stop...

“We have a long habit, in medicine and in society, of treating women’s pain as either exaggerated or expected.” theaimn.net/its-not-just...

Australia debates bushfires as if prevention is optional. Indigenous land stewardship, building resilience, and proven protective tech aren’t rivals — they’re complements. We can’t stop fires. We can stop accepting avoidable loss as normal. theaimn.net/we-cant-stop...

We need a human rights act to protect us from these weak, reactionary, self interested politicians #auspol
