He Heels When He Hears His Master's Voice

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

This is not good. You know what will really destroy coastlines, whales, fish stocks and views? Rampant global warming. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Ahmed Ouf, a supporter of Palestine, is the independent candidate for Blaxland. His 12yo son and another boy were mowed down by a driver in a ute who then fled the scene. Both boys have injuries and are in Westmead Hospital. Zero coverage on ABC News website. 😔 #auspol #Islamophobia #AusVotes2025

Marco Rubio today.

#Trumpisatraitor

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When even Murdoch has to say it, FFS! #WeStandWithUkraine #FuckTrump

Coalition: our policies are nuclear power, abandoning climate targets and sacking 36,000 public servants Media: do you have any positive policies? Coalition: ... Coalition: ... ALP: We're adding $8.5 bn to Medicare Coalition: err yeah, so are we Media: Wow, the Coalition is acing this

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Dutton removes suspicion by hiring PWC to manage his finances chaser.com.au/national/dut...

The dudes who had a Royal Commission into Julia Gillard’s kitchen reno think that asking questions about Dutton’s share trading is muckraking. 🤔#ABC730

Net zero. My @smh cartoon.

The Liberal Party got caught lying—again. Why? Because our laws let them. Truth in political advertising should be non-negotiable. theklaxon.com.au/uh-ooh-ad-gi...

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Morning. ☕️

Something I've been banging on about for some time now: Peter Dutton is a multi-millionaire property developer He has been for all of his adult life. That's who he is & how he earns his wealth For a brief interlude in his 20s he was a cop, yet he and our media have defined him by that ever since

The LNP’s nuclear policy will directly affect the life chances of our children & grandchildren, do not vote for them. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Sarah Ferguson while interviewing Steve Bannon in 2018: "there's no evidence that you are [racist]" Ahh well, swing and miss I guess. Who could have known, just asking questions.

I'm sure I too have seen that movie about breaking into Fort Knox and finding gold. He might be onto something here?

3rd teen in Cairns home invasion charged with 13 offences including 5 rape counts, 2 armed robbery & deprivation of liberty. He's appearing in Innisfail Children's Court today. David Crisafulli did not include rape in his youth justice changes. #qldpol www.9news.com.au/national/man...

David Crisafulli gave himself a green tick on youth crime but 3 teenagers in Cairns were undeterred this morning. They won't be facing adult charges on rape because along with attempted murder it was not included in the Crisafulli government's youth justice changes. #qldpol

Wouldn't it be great if our mainstream news media (incl. our "fair and balanced" ABC) reported the facts? 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #ausecon #inflation

This is really something

Nice one.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
