And this is why the Right is on the rise - not because they’ll help, they won’t - but because the Left hasn’t delivered either. Homelessness, poverty, inequality put us all at risk, not just those at the pointy end. We could fix it & we must. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

i do not understand why journalists remain on Twitter, where the US government is almost certainly reading their DMs whenever they want

A tsumanic volume of copy has being written about Trump and his Executive Orders, as if he singularly has a machiavellian streak worthy of Lex Luthor. Yet probe him, and he characterises them wjth the depth of a 3yo learning about the Easter Bunny. Why is noone telling us about the masterminds?

I am often accused of being too emotional when reporting on politics - but I would rather have a human emotional response than pretend this is just 'reshaping US policy in the Middle East'. It's ethnic cleansing and the end of the rule of law. And the Australian government has said nothing

Remember when Trump swept into office amid promises to lower costs? Well...

Amidst all the chatter I think it’s important to clarify that they’re not attacking DEI because performance or qualification standards of any kind are actually being lowered (they’re not), they’re attacking DEI because they are racist and sexist.

My latest article for The Shot. Please join me as we mercilessly mock Queen Gina, patron saint of global warming, and her merry gang of sycophants at something called National Mining Day . . . or as Gina would say, National Mahning Day. #drillbabydrill theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

You would think that the first public reaction from the president after a horrific air crash would be to offer sympathy to the victims and their families, not to wonder why they didn't move out of the way.

Real men don’t whine. Maybe someone needs to re-explain what ‘man up’ means—because absolutely nobody respects a guy who complains non-stop… or his tragic perm. Less than a week ago, he told Joe Rogan how masculine he was. Fake fact?

Trump has so far blamed the deadly DCA plane crash on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, Pete Buttigieg, the 2020 election, and diversity. No evidence was provided.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

Why is it that media seem unable to speak truth unless someone else raises it? As opposed to saying what we all see with our own eyes. Trump's comments RE DEI and the crash were pathetic and need to be called out immediately. Leaving the airwaves empty validates his words. #YouHad1Job #4thEstate

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

I think modern computer software was a mistake and we should go back to our roots of developing for limited hardware. The same amount of electricity that could power MS-DOS for a year is now used to ask Copilot how to save a Word document to your local Desktop instead of OneDrive.

So will Trump deport illegals or just inter them in camps? I can't see corporate America being in favour, but they might have loose enough morals to accept them as free labour, on a vague promise to the illegals that they could work to earn citizenship rights. You know, like concentration camps.

The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job." And no one will blink an eye. It won't be a controversy or a big story. All normalized. Welcome to the next 4 years.
