Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I can’t believe that as recently as a few months ago, the consensus Democratic Party position, even on the left, was that you couldn’t call to ‘abolish ICE.’ Good luck to the Democratic candidates who run in 2028 while opposing the abolition of ICE. A rogue fascist agency.

Subject was Robotdebt. Very good. By Rick Morton, it was about Colleen Taylor, who worked at Centrelink, and courageously called out the injustice from the start & ended up being a star witness at the Royal Commission Whatever happened to that awful Kathryn Campbell? Prison? 7ampodcast.com.au

We don’t have to carry water for dictators. Just my thought.

This is Schatz’s last post on Bluesky. He originally bailed on the platform because he voted for Trump’s budget back in March, giving him everything he wanted for nothing in return. A few months later he tried to return but decided it wasn’t worth it, opting to just post on the Nazi site instead.

Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat from Hawaii, bailed on Bluesky because people kept pointing out how often he would vote for Trump’s bullshit while talking tough. Twitter is supposed to be his safe space where he can talk a big game while rubber stamping fascism so this is clearly devastating for him

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Two things about Israelis: - they see themselves as more important than any other people. Like Americans, but more so - many view Palestinians as sub-human, which is why they can kill Gazan children as if they were vermin (yeah not all, but the ones who don't are silent, so fuck them too)

Who in their right mind would want to support these genocidal swine. I expect it’s the same in Australia. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/the-...

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla. Torture.

Wait what? If there'd've been more transparency earlier, it would never have happened! We need a thorough purge of "Kathryn Campbells" from the public service. As night follows day, an inability to make proper and ethical judgements will pave the way for the next Robodebt-level catastrophe

This is a fierce ruling against Trump from a judge he appointed.

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protesters—and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.

The anti-ICE protester, 19, was hurling insults but standing still when she was sprayed.

NYT is like "Murdering civilians is legal, here is a nice recipe of chicken soup."

I would like to hear similar sentiments expressed with as much conviction by leading UK politicians.

Exclusive: Anthony Albanese overruled push for public #NACC hearings. The Saturday Paper can reveal that the Prime Minister and other ministers from NSW intervened in cabinet to constrain the operations of the country’s leading integrity body. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/10...

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Kristi Noem tells Bad Bunny that ICE will be at the Super Bowl and the event should only be for Americans who “love this country”

still in shock every time i see kristi noem or other MAGA women who look like they are porn stars performing in a reality TV show "cruelty island"

The local police department in Illinois wouldn’t let Kristi Noem use the restroom today. BRAVO👏👏

I'd like to see a 5-part doco series looking at the ongoing damage caused to Australia by John Howard's policies when in Govt. The episode on housing speculation due to his changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) would be interesting. Okay sure, the cowardly ABC wouldn't air it. Maybe SBS? #auspol

I was sick of it 20 years ago Doesn't anything ever change in this country?

🇮🇱💥🇵🇸 Moments after Trump urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza, Israel launched new strikes on Gaza City and Khan Younis.

Why is Justin telling Zack Polanski, a Jewish man, how to feel about Israel’s genocide in Gaza? It’s actually anti-semitic to conflate Jews with Israel. It was refreshing to hear a party leader bring some much-needed nuance to a conversation with one of #r4today’s most consistently biased voices.

Zack Polanski is sending out the message that you can both oppose Genocide and condemn attacks on jewish people in the UK. And it is driving the Media insane because they want to cancel Genocide protests.

If you wish to complain about NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton, and what looks like (another) huge conflict of interest, you can at the NACC Inspector’s website. You can even complain anonymously if you wish. naccinspector.gov.au/make-complaint

Goodbye, CBS & Paramount.

new CBS corporate headquarters looks crazy

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

The fun thing about power is that while you can use it to silence people smarter than you no amount of it can cure you of being a fucking dipshit
