Disintegrate. My @smh cartoon.

We are governed by idiots.

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

For all its faults China is doing some amazing things.

the Minns government is refusing to find $30 million pa to retain public system psychiatrists while announcing over $100 million for prisons - places that cause and exacerbate mental health conditions - in case you were wondering about NSW Labor priorities.

One of the very few times I agree with Mike Pence.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

The real story with this is that Tim Wilson and his cousin are replicating the same scare monger tactics they used prior to 2019 with Labor's proposed franking credits changes - except this time he can't call a fake parliamentary inquiry #abc730 #auspol

I cannot be clearer, this is a really stupid and non evidenced-based idea. This proposed legislation belongs in the bin.

Trump's Gaslighting Glow

Happy to allow weapon componentry exports for the Israelis to carry out #EthnicCleansing in Gaza, @albomp.bsky.social , now happy to allow #BigGas to fuel the #ClimateCrisis. #DonorMates #LNPLite #ClimateVandals www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/02/n...

Speaks volumes the Zelenskyy, along with the EU, never allowed Syphilis Brain to know what they intended to do. Each of those 41 bombers, which amounts to 1/3 of the entire fleet of Russia's bombers, would cost nearly a Billion dollars to replace. Bravo Zulu Zelenskyy!

Watching #4corners and waiting for @RyanPark_Keira or @ChrisMinnsMP to come on and gaslight us about the state of mental health in NSW hospitals.

There is no “climate war” between the Libs and the Nats. Christ on a bike there isn’t even a climate war between the LNP and Labor. There IS a climate war between ordinary Australians and the fossil carbon multinationals and the major parties are allied with the multinationals.

“The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. “If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us." https://theatln.tc/HxwwbaTF

Is this why you won't condemn the Israeli #Genocide and sanction them for it, @albomp.bsky.social ?

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

Comment, @albomp.bsky.social @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social ?

Amazingly, we are still forced to listen to Republicans say with a straight face that cutting taxes for the wealthy will create such an explosion of economic growth that the tax cut will pay for itself. This is what they always say to justify upper-income tax cuts, and they’re always wrong.

90% of the drop in emissions since 2005 is from counting "land use" (ie the big land clearing that happened in 2005). If you just count actual emissions, we're only 2.8% lower than in 2005

I’m fairly certain that Ray White knows offering incentives for positive reviews is illegal…

I'm sure, like me, you daydream of what you'd do with Musk's billions? Instead of blasting off to Mars, I'd spend the dosh on repairing America's crumbling infrastructure. Imagine..."Musk" bridge, highway, railway, dam, airport... for generations. That'd do me, if I was a sane megalomaniac.

#GVerse #MajorBreakingNews: The #OrangeBuffoon's administration has deported a second 2-year-old American girl. Manu Borges Santos was born in Florida, had a U.S. passport and social security. Brazilian officials were reportedly stunned to see her on the plane. This isn’t policy. It’s cruelty.

😞🥹🤬

No logic can justify this genocidal policy of indiscriminate maiming & killing or the systematic starvation of the already traumatised Palestinian population. These atrocities leave us with just 2 words to describe the conduct of the cabal ruling Israel: pure evil johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05...
