Don’t go, ladies. Let them stew in their own sexist juice. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If you vote for a buffoon, how can you be surprised when he seeks the company of other buffoons? We’ve seen similar here in Australia beginning with the Howard election in 1996. The accumulation of incompetents with the “right” allegiances leads to incompetent government.

Posted with despair. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

After ICE agents entered two Diocesan churches, San Bernardino’s Bishop Rojas adamantly speaks out: “Cease these tactics immediately, in favor of an approach that respects human rights.”

Gotta love the Right & their commitment to freedom of speech - as long as its speech they agree with, of course…https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jun/27/queensland-public-servants-forbidden-from-including-acknowledgments-of-country-in-email-signatures-labor-says?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Lying and fabricating to maintain his grandiose idealized self as omnipotent, infallible, and inerrant. Smearing and discrediting every single legitimate source of accountability and exposure. “Fake news” is projection. He’s fake. This is the MO of narcissistic psychopathy.

It saddens me to think that the privileged maintaining their privileges for generations by sulkily refusing to share, is now considered an Australian value. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Little moments of hope. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is indeed outrageous that families who could never afford to send their children to these palaces of luxury are subsidising them via their tax. We should not subsidise fee charging schools that exclude most children directly or indirectly. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I don’t think I have tried #janedrinksaloneinabar on bluesky, so here goes. I am at the very funky QT rooftop bar in Melbourne after speaking at a crime writing symposium at Monash Uni. Too tired to go out for dinner but bar food, a rose & the Melb skyline? Bliss.

So @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social has won her case against the ABC. Now, how about ABC managers sit in court again, preferably in The Hague, for genocide apologia and warmongering? Israel/US has killed half a million ppl in Gaza, and the state broadcaster has excused it every step

Mic drop.

lmao

As the most hated VIC Premier in living memory, Kennett slashed 45,000 jobs across public sector. This included nearly 4,000 nurses and over 7,000 teachers.We are STILL struggling from chronic shortages from his idiocy decades later. The only thing Kennett “put first” was his delusions of grandeur

Wow

John Roberts’ dream: “Trump's DOJ is abandoning voting rights issues…nearly all attorneys in the civil rights division typically charged with enforcing the voting rights laws ‘It means the Voting Rights Act is functionally dead’” boltsmag.org/voting-right...

Precisely. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I stand with President Zelenskyy! I stand against Trump! #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsARussianAsset #SlavaUkraïni

"We have no concrete idea what we did, what comes next, or what it means for the globe, but other than that it was a spectacular military success!" Lars Kenseth, New Yorker.

There are so many chilling lines in this piece but the one I can’t stop thinking about as a Black woman is, “Only after she was legally dead did doctors do everything in their power to keep her body alive”. Thank you @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social for speaking this painful truth.

The clip package on The Project tonight was a tear jerker but was also notable for the ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ 1 second shot of Lisa Wilkinson So very petty Channel 10 👎🏻

Correct.

look man if you’re whole thing is posting on bluesky to trigger the libs or whatever you gotta do better than this lame shit lol

The problem with this “ceasefire,” as always, is that you can’t believe anything Donald Trump says. Because he lies as he breathes.
