(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Oh fuck off.

“My simple-minded tariffs have made ‘beautiful’ American goods prohibitively expensive so foreign countries are cancelling orders. THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT!!!!!!!! WHAAAA! WHAAAA!”

“‘The endowment may be smaller four years from now than it is today, but Harvard will survive Trump,’ predicted Daniel Hemel, an NYU tax law professor. ‘If it could survive the Revolutionary War, it’s going to make it through Trump.’”

On Instagram, the contrast between Laura Tingle's informed, intelligent, factual election analysis and the ABC News page's blatant barracking for Dutton is both jarring and cringeworthy. The ABC has utterly killed its credibility. 😔 #JournalismMatters #auspol #AusVotes25

Look who the Libs & Nats are giving preferences to in the Senate! • Pauline Hanson's One Nation • Australian Christians & Family First (2 Far Right 'Christian' hate groups) • Clive Palmer's Trumpet of Patriots The LNP are no longer "centre right"; they're Far Right lunatics. #auspol #AusVotes25

What the …

Incredible satellite image of the 33 (!!!!) operational fossil fuel combustion engines at the site of Elon Musk's XAI data centre “appalling that xAI would operate more than 30 methane gas turbines without any permits or any public oversight" @selc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

We could solve the housing crisis in Victoria by utilising all that free rental space Dan Andrews maintains in some of your heads.

The heckling & booing at Anzac Day ceremonies this year triggered by Welcome to Country wouldn’t have happened a few years ago. The only difference now is that we have become an ugly & divisive country.. Wholly enabled by Dutton’s racism, culture wars & punching down on Indigenous ppl & minorities

Someone please stop this woman.

Think about what it says that France, South Korea, China, etc., are all pushing back on — or outright denying — the timeline for trade deals from the President and Treasury Secretary.

I've been advised that the briefing document is 67 pages long (inc cover page). Aside from the cover page the remaining 66 pages have been exempted from FOI. 👀

“You First.” Pope Francis ❤️

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Who knows how good or bad Kamala Harris would have been? What we do, and even did know, was how bad Donald Trump would be and is. It was spelled out huge font for years, even decades, yet here we are.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Did someone say it’s #NationalPuppyDay?

What Peter Dutton and the Coalition are offering Australian voters is a fiction #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

US sponsored war crimes.

Space is for white men now. You don't have to pretend any more.

Fun episode today! The archived video is now up on YouTube. (Also, any YouTubers out there know why our live-streamed videos auto-disappear and don't stick around after the broadcast?)

🙄 So Dutton wants you to believe that he supports the ALP's promise to shave $150 off every Aussie's energy bill! Let's not forget that Dutton & his LNP OPPOSED every single cost of living measure that the Albanese Government introduced! 👇 Dutton. Opposed. Every. Single. One #DuttonLies #auspol

"Back in Black" spruiker Jane Hume claims the Coalition will bring us back to surplus. They couldn't do it in a decade, and they can't now. #MorningBreakfast #Auspol #AusVotes

A very good #SundayShot this morning - our best yet technically (aka I didn’t push a wrong button) - with guests Punters Politics, Crystal from ZeeMedia/Crikey (who was very good) Worthwhile insights on younger people and #auspol Replay to watch or listen here > linktr.ee/SundayShot

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION, YET?! And here we go becoming a third world country in real-time…👇 Get rid of him, already! ✨

Millions cancelling their trips and businesses in the United States due to Trump’s illegal ICE ethnic cleansing operations. The damages created by Trump will exceed in the trillions of dollars. #3E #EndImpunity

Water for the two Peter Dutton & David Littleproud nuclear reactor sites in Qld a major problem. Turning Callide from coal would more than double the water usage in comparison to the existing coal power station. Similarly, Tarong 50% more. #auspol www.queenslandconservation.org.au/updated_repo...

Welcome to all our new followers! 💚

This is what we’ve come to, and so quickly.

Presented with evidence that innocent people who are not members of any gang were wrongly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador, Homan flatly insists that all of them were in fact gang members (but he's unwilling to detail any evidence showing it)

Nothing to see here—just a sitting U.S. president pumping his shitcoin, after countless Americans have already lost billions investing in it. The most corrupt president in history, by far

Naomi Fryers discusses the growing gap between the haves and have-nots and how we've got to the stage where we'd happily step over those left behind. The homeless standard we walk by ~ @just-naomi.bsky.social

If you've ever observed a flock of chooks/chickens in a mob fleeing hysterically from something that actually isn't there, then you'll understand the recent behaviour of the ABC, Creative Australia et al. Jumping at shadows, the lot of them. My latest for The Shot 🙏🏽 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

When you think about how empty you have to be inside to pretend like a golf game where no one will call you out on your actual score, and tell you that you didn’t win, is a real win…it’s really hard for most of us to wrap our head around it.

Looks like Trumpty-Dumpty had a great fall Splat! From the wall [street] See what I did there?

The fight to find out the sites in Australia where the govt intends to bury AUKUS submarines nuclear waste gets ludicrous. @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social is in the middle of it #auspol michaelwest.com.au/radioactive-...

Exactly. The media’s role is to watch, report on and question the game of chess, not to play it.

I have a loved trans family member. I will not be going to or supporting the US while this regime is in place.
