Great to see ABC news doing this - that's Rebel News panicking because if everyone does it they no longer have a business model @news.abc.net.au

And Trump is too stupid to understand any of it.

So long fresh water fish ….. “A global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems” www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

🛑 STOP PRESS I’ve just figured out how to make politicians act on femicide. Simply switch out the word women and replace it with ‘tradies’

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

@susanforde.bsky.social, media researcher and Professor of Jounalism at Griffith University, joins Breakfasters to speak about the groundbreaking new report 'Community Radio and Australian Music: Building the Music Media Ecosystem'.

When genitally-obsessed bigots ask "can a bridging effort resolve this conflict constructively?" They mean "can we throw trans people off the bridge?"

Tldr: Dump has purchased millions of dollars worth of stocks in companies positively affected by his policies

Turns out, if you stop tearing up the seabed, wildlife thrives: ten years after banning bottom trawl fishing, there are 3 times the number of sea creatures + double the number of species in the South Arran MPA, Scotland, than there were before the ban 👏🦪🐟 share.google/2M5WqP3CXwSH...

When Rachel took samples from Lough Neagh, NI, tests revealed antibiotic resistant genes in every sample taken - with both sewage + agriculture as potential sources: share.google/LDW4ciWPbWcM...

When we tested water from English bathing sites, we found antibiotic resistance genes present at many swimming spots around the country. Particularly high levels were found in Rivers Dart, Nidd, Ribble + Wye. share.google/7rBKPnpoEApD...

Euronews reporting on under-investment in new antibiotics to prevent the rise of untreatable infections. At the same time, our inadequate sewage systems create ideal conditions to cultivate new resistant strains, as Leana reports, here, for the BBC: www.euronews.com/business/202...

When you get a call from your former employer asking if you can come up to the office because nobody knows what they’re doing… I gave you almost 3 weeks notice. You took it for granted. I’m not your slave anymore, so fuck you, pay me. My consulting fee is $100 an hour, 2 hour minimum. Otherwise…

“Thwaites glacier in Antarctica is about the size of UK, but has rapidly been shrinking & is already responsible for 4% of global sea-level rise. Satellite images show its massive ice sheet..will imminently detach, with worrying implications for sea-level rise” www.newscientist.com/article/2526...

Bit to investigate. Why were they diving so much deeper? “The five were exploring a cave at a depth of about 50 meters in Vaavu Atoll on Thursday. The recreational diving limit in the Maldives is 30 metres.”

This is absolutely brilliant stuff from @ronnisalt.bsky.social, not just skewering the lying, grifting hypocrite that is Pauline Hanson, but the insipidness and greed of both major parties (and complicit media) which has allowed One Nation to flourish.

BREAKING: Trump personally buying and selling and selling $750 million-1.25B of stocks on the false dips and rises that he orchestrated… And that’s just what we now of. Enjoy. 😎✨

“The PM..urged the country’s 1.4bn to consume less fuel & fertiliser, buy less gold & curb foreign travel as energy prices surge..The message..suggests something larger: retreat from neoliberal globalisation in Asia & return of strategic economic management” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The tax reforms..are nowhere near as comprehensive as reforms introduced by Howard & Costello in 2000, or by Hawke & Keating in the mid-1980s. But they represent material improvements to the tax system which we now have: and for that reason are to be welcomed” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“The Northern Territory government has been accused of “funnelling Aboriginal children into prisons” over draft youth justice laws that would give police the power to charge, detain and question young people for up to 48 hours without a legal guardian” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Taylor made immigration a centrepiece of his budget..tying it to housing construction, & restrict the NDIS & 17 types of welfare programs to citizens The announcements caused unease among some Libs who believe..Pauline Hanson is dictating their party’s agenda” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“for the last century, Americans have searched for a way to carry out the death penalty that minimizes suffering while lessening trauma for executioners & witnesses. Those efforts have gone so poorly that we’re returning to a visceral execution method from the past” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/o...

“For years, KA Rung has felt like she existed in a "middle space"..When the 37-year-old from Perth/Boorloo was recently questioned about the colour of her skin, it led her on an unexpected journey in connecting with a community of other biracial Australians” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Anyone surprised? “Reality” TV is both an oxymoron and an invitation to treat women as available objects www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Ban it, expel these destructive killing machines www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

“Australians are the world's biggest gamblers per capita, with $1,500 lost per adult each year. In a nation that boasts gambling as a national pastime, about three in five Australians bet at least once a year, and one in five engage in risky” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Sure, “we can’t be blamed” from a totally objective source “A new report shows short-stay listings outnumber long-term rental listings three to one in WA. The short-term accommodation sector says it can not be blamed for a nationwide housing crisis”. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

Melbourne’s road & rail networks will incur the greatest costs from natural disasters..The report published by Infrastructure Victoria..warns that more than $57bn worth of assets are currently at risk..& costs could blow out beyond $71bn in the coming decades. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

There are fuck-ups, and then there's this krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa...

Think of an oil shock like a stone tossed in a pond. First splash: gasoline. Then the ripples: airfares, delivery costs, packaging, groceries, construction materials.⁣ ⁣ The ripples are real. Just give them a moment to spread.

Insider trading became legal in the US the same time Paedophilia, insurrection, and enacting foreign policy - treachery. Let's face it, if child rape and insurrection isn't punishable, nor ICE murders, you don't have a civilisation anymore. It's dead, but "beautiful plumage!"

Even by Trump standards, reading his “settlement” with the IRS made me feel insane. Every lever of this thing is controlled by Trump, or some lackey he controls. A diabolicial little Rube Goldberg machine of corruption, to the tune of $1.8 billion in public resources. Vile stuff.

This ode to the asset owning class was, believe it or not, the top story on the ABC website. The most important story from their neoliberal perspective, at a time when gee, there are a few things going on www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

“Trump moved on Monday to dismiss his extraordinary $10 billion lawsuit against the I.R.S. that claimed the tax agency had improperly released some of his financial records” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Debt has surpassed GDP. The U.S. is literally "underwater." Interest payments on the national debt are $3 billion plus daily, and the total debt is racing towards $40 trillion. But how does this affect you? It makes borrowing more expensive! See the full article below 👇

I found the full clip of this, starts at 2:13. Even with the audio coming from Schmidt's podium mic the booing is deafening and constant. He's condescending and saccharine and throws in a little hint at climate denial while also promising AI will solve climate www.youtube.com/live/b1eM3jv...

Even though there were two Catholic speakers and a lone rabbi, this prayer marathon was principally a demonstration of Trump’s reliance on, and commitment to, his white evangelical supporters. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trumps-...

Also remember, whenever a Special Counsel is appointed in a Democrat administration, such as Ken Starr, they must be Republican so they are unbiased. But whenever a Special Counsel is appointed in an Republican administration, such as Robert Mueller, they must be Republican so they are unbiased.

no joke and not going away by itself country is in decline and falling faster daily people need to deal with this before it is too late or live with the fascist consequences & perhaps years of strife & inhuman, cruel and gratuitous violence, hate & evil MAGA *and christianity = american carnage

🚨 IF THEY TAKE THIS, WHAT'S NEXT? 🚨 If we let Trump illegally bypass the law to gut the US Forest Service, no national park or public land is safe from corporate selloffs. Draw the line right here. Send your auto-drafted letter to Congress: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
