People who serve with murderous IDF, sure welcomed home😡😡

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

TRUMP’S CORRUPTION DOES NOT END. HE GETS RICHER. YOU GET POORER AND SICKER.

There is no legislation accompanying this change. And despite the headline that this is the biggest shake up in 30 years, Howard didn't launch Centrelink and the basis for the system we have now until 1997. We haven't moved beyond that, with these changes from Labor, despite the somewhat good press

Thank you @amyremeikis.bsky.social for sharing this. People who live it are the ones who know.

The AFR has spent the past couple weeks actively campaigning against the budget changes. So don’t let anyone tell you the conservative media just want to report the news with balance.

Jillian Segal can’t explain any services provided by co of ScoMo’s fmr sec Yaron Finkelstein who she contracted without tender. Says it’s an “advisory contract” Pocock “$200k for ad-hoc advice?" Segal “I didn’t say that" Then what’s the $200k for? Peak integrity.🙄 #auspol

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

Holy fuck.

Louise Adler just now on Instagram; the nefarious tentacles of influence of Segal @albomp.bsky.social should never have appointed her, & is long-overdue to get rid of her poisonous presence

lol , I hear they’re quite good though, painful too.

Haha. Sucked in. #trump #kennedycenter 🤡 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Seattle welcomes Zuckerberg's megayacht.

This should be plastered on every hospital Emergency room across Australia After all, aspiring PM Hanson has publicly insisted that she’s “a woman of her word”

Hey @markbutlermp.bsky.social - I am giving you an open invitation to come see my daughter with Down Syndrome and then you can tell me to my face that it will be good to cut her social, economic and community participation funding by 25% (heck the explanatory memorandum gives an eg of 50%).

glad someone in labor has courage and integrity #auspol

Uber’s Chief Operating Officer said it’s getting harder for the company to justify the costs of using AI. Starbucks just scrapped its AI inventory tool for repeatedly miscounting and mislabeling items. Is the AI bubble getting ready to burst?

#WarCrimes and #Genocide by #Israel supported by @australianlabor.bsky.social and @albomp.bsky.social So much support for evil Zionists while our innocent Lebanese, Palestinian and Indigenous citizens are ignored. Such bullshit.

Jillian Segal hired former Scott Morrison adviser on $200,000 contract without public tender process Company founded by Yaron Finkelstein received contract to advise on antisemitism under a limited tender ‘due to an absence of competition’ #AusPol www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

It got worse. Brereton actually compares his professional conflicts of interest to personal hobbies Brereton “Nor do they need to know whether I go to church on a Sunday” Shoebridge “You can’t see the difference b/w going to church & performing professional work?”💥 No he can’t.

My summary of how I would give this speech were I Minister for Employment. Mutual obligations are bullshit. Privatized employment services are cruel. Jobseeker payments are cruel magnified.

Just when you think Libs can go no lower, they've referred Ali France to the AEC for breaking electoral rules. The rule is her house had been demolished and therefore the lot was empty. It was demolished because she has one leg and was getting it rebuilt to suit. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

It’s quite funny running a court case these days, to observe that the punters watching on YouTube and posting their thoughts on Reddit are comprehending what’s going on far more acutely and accurately than most of the media

IMO Albanese appointing Brereton was a worse selection than Howard appointing Hollingworth to GG. Had a much greater negative impact on our democratic institutions.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

RFK Jr: “Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism.” Trump: “I've studied this a long time.”

RIP Sonny Rollins. I’m so grateful for his music and his wisdom. What a profoundly positive force. I’ve learned so much from listening to his music, reading his words, watching interviews, his dedication, his journey to always improve as a human being. Man! Thank you Sonny!

Exactly. CBS just handed the Colbert audience over to other networks - and hurt their other programming slots along the way.

Two Vietnam veterans are taking the Trump administration to federal court over plans for a 250-foot triumph arch at the Arlington National Cemetery, arguing the project is an unconstitutional vanity monument that dishonors the soldiers buried there and bypasses the legal approval process entirely

So to clarify: There's no agreement on nuclear enrichment or arms; or on the $25 bil of Iranian funds under sanction; or who will control Hormuz or if it'll be tolled; or on Israel's invasion and attacks in Lebanon (which Iran says are integral). Other than that, it's virtually a done deal.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

Australia's education system bears a strong resemblance to the US's healthcare system: hugely expensive per capita, with disproportionately poor overall results. We can mock America for its "medical bankruptcy"... here's educational bankruptcy.

🧵 Israel gets away with abuse and torture of detainees - both flotilla activists and Palestinians - because governments like Australia’s give them impunity. #auspol

6 Greenville, SC residents, including at least 3 cops have been arrested & charged with child sex trafficking AGAIN—not immigrants, not trans people, not drag queens, not Black or brown people. And we will not hear Trump or any MAGA politician acknowledge this. These were cops. How deep is the rot?

That part

Hey can anyone explain to me why corporate media in the United States is breathlessly reporting on a deal that literally does not exist and whose terms no one agrees on, I mean I understand corporate journalism wants to lick the ball sweat off POTUS but this is getting ridiculous

Who’s going to drive home from the pub then? 😳

Bridget McRorter in hot water & facing calls to resign after slugging taxpayers for flights and accommodation to attend son’s wedding in Tasmania.🙄 The gravy train never stops with McKenzie. As shameless as they come. #auspol

Opinion | The newly founded White Australia Party is in the High Court defending its right to have a political presence. As Michael Bradley writes, it's a sombre test for the government's terrible, authoritarian lawmaking. Read it here: www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/21/w...

"According to almost everything I have seen and heard...the withdrawal of so much American assistance has left African governments and independent organizations less able to mount an effective response." To the third-worst Ebola outbreak ever.

Trump wrote when started his war against Iran: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” Looks like Trump is keeping his word as he surrenders unconditionally to Iran. He's getting NOTHING in return except opening Strait of Hormuz--which had been 100% open before Trump's war!

Should I buy this sticker for my recently purchased Chinese EV?

#Queensland women, you'll need to fight. Your govt is discarding your rights and choices. Demand no public funds for this hospital until it provides contraception & full range of care. Extremist religious activists cannot be allowed to hijack public health to force girls & women to give birth.

Omg this is brutal

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

President misses own son’s wedding due to high-level not wanting to go

That governments across the world are outsourcing their data, IT infrastructures and surveillance systems to this man and his company, Palantir, is one of the most dangerous and irrational phenomena of modern times.

Good morning
