The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

My best recommendation to huge legacy media companies right now is to hire a reporter who understands crypto, the law, and politics - and how they are currently intersecting in an incredibly corrupt way that almost everyone is ignoring.

When there’s US$1 trillion at stake, if they can’t find a problem they’ll *make one* My bet: some people are gonna be made to be the problem to be solved with AI

what a day

Trump's #AUKUS gaffe is nothing compared to Albanese's original massive blunder in 2022: committing the nation to this hugely expensive, dangerous, and stupid Morrison booby-trap. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Just sayin’… 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not about to take a multi-millionaire multiple property owner seriously when he talks about the problems around cost of living, let alone rent relief. He knows nothing about it, which is why he has no policies. He's one of the elite he rallies against. #auspol

Net zero. My @smh cartoon.

Proud to be one of 500+ Jews to sign this full page newspaper ad in SMH / the Age calling on Australia to reject calls for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. 1/4

What is apparent now (even if many ignored it before) is the accelerating transformation of Australia's closest, and dominant ally into an oligarchal Christian fascist state. This should give pause... #auspol #USpol

Friends don’t let friends buy & eat Tasmanian farmed salmon. It’s produced & farmed irresponsibly, harms the local environment inc the ancient & endangered Maugean skate - & is owned by multinationals who pay little to no tax Friends don’t let friends buy & eat Tasmanian farmed salmon #auspol

Another mass coral bleaching and mortality event is unfolding across 500km of the northern Great Barrier Reef. Silence from reef agencies. coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/bl...

So glad Labor had the guts to say no to AUKUS, avoiding a scenario where we'd now be handing billions of dollars over to a country run by a narcissistic psychopath who would sell us to China or Russia or whoever for a back rub.

Chain of command. My @smh cartoon.

If you have a fucking sniffle and you’re getting in a plane, wear a fucking mask. Some people are taking chemotherapy. Anyone who says that masks don’t work will be summarily blocked. Thank you for your consideration.

Despite our government calling it a technology sharing agreement, AUKUS ties us to US foreign policy for decades, and to a degree to US domestic policy. Finding a way out of AUKUS is essential. Difficult, but essential. #AusPol

One intriguing aspect of the ABC / Lattouf case is how much coverage it’s getting, but how little of it really gets into the core issue of pro-Israel lobbyists systematically working to get journalists fired. Probably because almost all outlets have responded similarly ABC!

Marles at last saying the quiet bit out loud....not sure it's too welcome though.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Warning. My @smh @theage cartoon.

How is this current Labor government different from Liberal governments in previous decades? Just being a slightly better alternative to Dutton isn't good enough. #auspol

Can’t help but notice a parallel between those who respond to domestic violence with accusations “why didn’t she leave?” and knee jerk reaction to Trump “why don’t Democrats stop him?” Absolutely Democrats should fight hard to oppose Trump. But let’s start the conversation with condemnation of HIM!

There’s something unimaginably bleak about the world’s richest man unilaterally deciding to stop food aid and medicine going to the world’s poor ‘to save money’

They've given up pretending. My SMH/The Age cartoon.

Signs. Of. Life. Protest outside Treasury Dept. tonight.

FFS, show some spine.

Oh so I get it, the IDF once again “mowed the lawn” in Gaza, killed 50,000+ Palestinians, razed the ground, destroyed the hospitals, schools, universities, all to prepare the territory for the property developers -Trump and his son-in-law. #NaqbaRedux

Donald Trump has broken ‘what was left of international law’ – @emmashortis.bsky.social live.australiainstitute.org.au

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

The forcible displacement of 2.2 million people from Gaza is not an “audacious” or “controversial” idea of Trumps. It’s ethnic cleansing, it’s criminal, the forced and permanent displacement of Palestinians.
