Reminder: Same energy. #auspol #USPolitics #AusVotes2025

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹

Allison Gill on Mitch McConnell: if your dumb ass would have voted to convict and barred him from office, we wouldn’t be here. YOU are embarrassing and costly.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

A few people have responded to this paper by saying "well people freaked out about calculators too". It's a funny comparison because people *are* using chatbots as calculators - and they suck. This tested the accuracy of an LLM to perform simple multiplication xcancel.com/yuntiandeng/...

I expect the mainstream news media (incl. the ABC) will redouble its efforts to get Gina's puppet Dutton into govt. #auspol #AusVotes2025

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Todays hero

I Was the Department of Education’s Only Civil Rights Monitor in Alabama—Until DOGE Happened: On February 12, Victoria DeLano was fired from her job in the Department of Education‘s Office for Civil Rights, a position she took in late December. Her termination—by phone, without the written notice…

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Closing a library, even temporarily, is a terrible idea, if only because ratepayers love their library more than almost anything else (in Westland ours had over 90% approval ratings). www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

LNP when there’s a .25% interest rate increase ‘a $70 increase on repayments will crush consumers’ LNP when there’s a .25% interest rate decrease ‘a $70 decrease on repayments won’t help much’ So which is it you idiots? #auspol

This is their plan #auspol

The US people chose their government, house, senate, president. The US people abandoned their allies with this vote. There is no reason for us to feel bad about protecting our own interests by walking away from a relationship that was deliberately broken by the majority of Americans. #AusPol

The former director of the ACCC Gas Inquiry is calling for a limit on gas exports. 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. They are draining the system to the point we need to start importing gas, and they price gouge us for the remaining 20%. Calling a duck a duck. #auspol

This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

Please tell me that this #abc730 report on ‘gas shortages’ is going to say that we produce plenty of gas for our needs - but we export the vast majority possibly leaving us in shortfall? #auspol

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

This is what happens when you have climate denial in Government. NZ companies quietly quitting climate schemes www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

These megalomaniac fascist f'wits will destroy the U.S. and threaten the world as we know it if they're not brought to heel. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

The Gulf of Mexico is called the Gulf of America in the same way Twitter is called X in that none of us will call it that because it's a stupid idea from a man with too much power.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

AFR cheerleading for the destruction of Ningaloo and Murujuga by mostly foreign owned, tax-free North West Shelf Big Oil corps. As Environment Minister in the Australian govt, Plibersek has the power and duty to say NO - in theory, but not in practice. Who's in charge? www.afr.com/policy/energ...

There Is No Antisemitism Crisis In Australia. It’s A Carefully Constructed Lie. The Murdoch-owned Daily Telegraph has been caught trying to orchestrate what can only be described as a mass media psyop to inflame public hysteria about antisemitism in Australia. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/there-is-n...

Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Saturday accused Vice President JD Vance of unacceptably interfering in his country’s coming elections on behalf of a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Competition in the insurance sector isn't the heart of the problem & Peter Dutton's divistiture policy isn't going to solve the cost to insure in high-risk flood zones. To do that those costs would have to be spread across the whole community. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The plot against America: www.palmerreport.com/analysis/the...

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint. No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.
