In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.

Mark Kenny nails it “No one mentions the fact that Israel is also a nuclear power, that it’s not even a signatory to the Non-proliferation Treaty. It doesn’t observe the safeguards of the IAEA.” “I mean, that just doesn’t get mentioned.”💥 #ABCInsiders

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

This popped up on my Facebook feed. At first I thought it was a parody account, but it’s real. And terrifying.

"People don't appreciate that we do have a housing policy. The houses we are building as a society are prisons," #AusPol

The 2022-23 tax stats released today show that $3m is more than 15 times higher than the median amount of super people in their early 60s have

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

So to recap: they lost a leader, paid off the person who helped end him, possibly broke their own rules, and are now litigating against themselves. The Victorian Liberals continue their bold experiment in self-immolation.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Don’t believe the hype: Victorian government deserves credit for not buckling to aggressive pro-gas campaign www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We're getting very close to an *actual* WAR IS PEACE Fox news banner.

Not to rain on everyone’s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

I increasingly feel certain that the thing that has driven politics insane is the growing ability of people to find ways to validate their beliefs, no matter how incorrect and irrational. It started in right-wing media but has become central to all political discussion.

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed: solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future. this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Has anyone posted this yet m.youtube.com/watch?v=SAFv...

In case it wasn’t already obvious. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

Amusing to see some people on Bluesky say "if I was a gay Iranian, which I am not, I would welcome the bombing of Iran"

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Just leaving this here.

Not a single crate has been allowed through, despite the urgent warnings from the world’s humanitarian organisations and the screams of Palestinians. There is nothing normal about the silence in response

happy #showyourstripes day folks

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

November 2013: Tweets are there forever Donny.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

Boy George letting rip with a reply to Rowling on Twitter

Dedicated civil servants throughout government feel compelled to quit rather than violate their personal, professional, and/or legal obligations. Fortunately, rather than slink away, many have been speaking out, making a record of MAGA’s nihilistic destruction of functional government.

She’s right

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

I realize that “Dynasty DC” just dropped a new episode everyone is talking about, but the deliberate erosion of economic data quality by this administration is an extremely important issue.
