It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Outside the American Embassy in London.... London rocks......✊🏼

Anthony Albanese has resurrected his entire career in the last 7 days. 1. Immediately stand with Ukraine 2. He was correct on the false flag Terror plot 3. Call out trump and not exacerbate the problem with a counter tariff In the meantime, Dutton is in hiding for abandoning his community.

How can Peter Dutton say I was assistant treasurer to Peter Costello and have work on budgets over the last 15 years. And no one questions it. Fact : He was junior minister for revenue and assist treasurer Jan 2006 – Dec 2007 After that he has never held a financial portfolio #lnplies #auspol

Women are ‘emotive’, men are ‘businesslike’. Slow clap to Jamie Walker and Michael McKenna @australian

I’m here there and everywhere at the moment, but every fortnight you can find me writing the Wrap newsletter (later republished in the New Daily) where you can see where my brain is australiainstitute.org.au/post/aussies...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Could be Groundhog Day. This @cathywilcox.bsky.social was from the Morrison dark ages. Plus ca change plus c'est la même chose.

If you want to show your contempt for Trump and solidarity with Ukraine, this is Zelensky’s direct defence fundraiser. Please give what you can and spread the word; I’m donating every dollar I might have been tempted to spend on an American business, because fuck them: u24.gov.ua

#SNL on the 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴... kudos for their quick response! 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

Dutton is playing the me too game. Okay. Let’s do negative gearing and franking credits PM. #auspol #ausvotes

Top Ten Likely Outcomes for the AUKUS Submarine Deal open.substack.com/pub/aliensid... Bogans on jet skis 😂 John Birmingham on AUKUS

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

When Labor was elected, the LNP had gotten Aus into an absolute shit-show. Inflation was sky high, the RBA raised rates because of LNP incompetence managing the economy, wages were suppressed for 9 years & nothing was done about the housing crisis under the LNP. Yep. We are better off under Labor.

Well done, maga. Russia is our new BFF ally and we have turned on Ukraine. Next it will be Poland and then WW3.

I watched Hannity's interview with Musk and Donald Trump so that you didn't have to. It was, as George W. Bush might have said, some weird shit www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Further to this, the Americans working on Dutton's campaign have form as masters of dis and misinformation, narrowly and personally targeted through social media. This is what they did with the Voice and this is what they'll be doing now. Labor really, REALLY needs to lift its game

We’re over represented in prisons which we die in, and the political conversation about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is that the major opposition don’t want to stand in front of our flags and think that money shouldn’t be spent on Welcome to Country ceremonies. Welcome to Australia.

Absolute nonsense being published in the national broadsheet. The preferential system doesn't *favour Labor*, it favours voters' choices. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/polit...

Thanks to @mrhenrymorris.bsky.social, I’ve seen the next incisive issue of The PNG Courier

This isn't a surprising but it is devastating. The great betrayal of Ukraine begins. We, in Europe, are in a place of danger. We all owe Ukraine & its people a debt of gratitude for its extraordinary courage. 😢

C'mon now, don't be shy Let's get subscribing to the #SundayShot and you'll never have to whine about Insiders again

I can assure Peter Dutton that his claims that working families will be concerned if the RBA cuts interest rates next week are entirely wrong.

Kim Williams, Why are you not defending Ms Lattouf’s right to forward such a statement of fact? On the contrary, what other statements in support of Israel forwarded by other ABC staff have not seen them suspended or in court? #auspol #openletter

Admit it you always kind of wondered what you would have done had you been alive during the dark times of the previous century, and now that you are here during the dark times of the current century you have your answer, how horrible it is to have that answer.

All great recommendations. Every Australian should read, hear & think about what The Australian Institute has to say, they are only concerned about benefiting all the people & the planet. If you don't yet follow them, please click the enclosed panel, highlight their internet address & do so. ‪

What an absolute disgrace. Well done Murray Watt for calling it out.

"There are no inspiring leaders in Australia today, at the state level or the national level. If Australia is to succumb to the blandishment of would-be strong leaders, then the future will be bleak." — Allan Patience johnmenadue.com/strong-leade...

Stan Grant writes about colonisation and the devastating impact on First Nations people. Royalists upset, he gets no support from the abc and leaves Antionette Lattouff posts on social media about the killing on children in Gaza , Zionists upset, she gets no more work. Ita wishes Covid on her. 1/2

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

Repost if BlueSky is now your main social media 🙏

I've spoken to several US journalists who inform me that now Musk has unfettered access to classified US information, such as that provided by "Five Eyes" (such as Pine Gap) that classified Australian defence information is now available to Elon Musk. Australia's national security is now at risk.

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.
