Dunno if youse are across this... but it's forecast that in Sydney on Wednesday the temp will be 38C. (100 F) It's OCTOBER! That's FIFTEEN DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE! Our Government and fossil fuel companies are determined to cook us alive! Boil the oceans. Kill our forests. Turn habitat to ash.🥺😩

German study shows how far right sets agenda thanks to mainstream parties reshaping their communications to respond to what are initially fringe issues, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate shorturl.at/OFfig

Trump firmly believes bribery and corruption should be legal. He's made that clear for decades now. It's just the way business is done in his world, and he thinks it's very unfair that government would interfere with that.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

NEW: if you’re planning on taking I-5 to the No Kings rally, you might wanna leave now. In order to disrupt our protests, they’re shutting parts of it down. meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...

End of a very intense but very successful regent parrot field trip - gorgeous birds doing it a bit tough

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

A lot of people in the media spent a lot of time claiming to be very angry at the perceived corruption of Hunter Biden for the last 5 or 6 years.

Trump has one of those, it's an inflated ego.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I love this image.

Great editorial on the lingering stench of our previous PM… www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21790/...

There are very few stores left in Portland that aren't made of wood. FYI

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Tech fascism is a lot easier to impose when two corporations' control which applications Americans can access BREAKING: Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

Since I’m already throttled for being a truth teller, screw it. This is a thread about what people do when the government turns fascist. 🧵 ⬇️

Macron is wasted trying to manage the French economy. He should be EU President, emphasising the strength, identity and values of Europe.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Which of these is the most terrifying Enemy Within in your opinion?

This has to be one of the most anti-American things I’ve heard out loud.

Love it. Need that.

The fact that this partisan propaganda is plastered on the main page of HUD is outrageous. They’re too busy pointing fingers to do their jobs. (2/2)

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

Pete Hegseth still with no skills

Brutalizing not just the family members but the press trying to document. DIsgusting. #IceGestapo #DefundICE

Oh she’s just like her husband Stephen. Got it.

This gorgeous being is thwaitesia argentiopunctata. Also known as the sequinned spider, mirror spider and is found in Australia. Absolutely beautiful! I am at a loss for words. #nature #arachnid #insect #mirrorspider #Australia

I really, really love this.

I know I harp on eugenics a lot, but if fascism is the political face of our current crisis, eugenics is its scientific/medical face. They're the heads and tails of the shitcoin.

As I said the Antifa ban allows the US Government to treat anyone who opposes them as a terrorist. Which is exactly what they are doing.

It's not just about gathering evidence; it's about shaping a narrative for the audience.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Mockler: We can look at the acceleration of the radicalization of young men through a few frameworks. There's the covid pandemic, which had people isolated, had a bubble around themselves, and a lot of young men got sucked down these algorithms, I've seen it happen to my close friends.

No friends like best friends.
