I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

This assault alters 80 years of post-WWII diplomacy and alliances. And for what? To ally with the murderous Putin? To turn America, once a democratic beacon to the world, into a pariah state, an outcast among democratic nations and decent people everywhere? www.americaamerica.news/p/can-americ...

Raise your hand if neither 🤡 nor the hillbilly elegy guy speak for you, in dissing Ukrainian President Zelenskiy at the White House today and bending over for Russia. We #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Agree. He has an audience as well. His countrymen don’t want to see their President groveling before a Putin lackey. Their determination is grounded in their national pride. Zelensky powerfully vindicated that today. To see your President stand up to the two greatest powers in the world? Priceless.

Dutton’s Liberals are Trump-MAGA. Just like Trump-MAGA, Dutton wants to rule to serve his billionaire funders. His priority during the GFC was enriching himself. That’s who he is #DontRiskDutton

The Orange puppet of Putin and his yapping little sidekick showed the world clearly today that the US has turned into a gangster province of Russia and needs to be treated as an enemy by all free democratic nations, including Australia. Zelenskyy is a hero. Fk Trump and #DumpAUKUS #Ukraine ✊🏼

🧵 1/10 Australian universities adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism isn’t about protecting Jewish people - it’s about suppressing criticism of Israel. This is a direct attack on free speech and academic freedom.

Anybody who believes Dutton will match Albanese's Medicare promise "dollar for dollar" - I've got a bridge to sell - Medicare is a complete anathema for the LNP - it's so far out of their increasingly Trumpian ideology it's almost at the ISS.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Trump has replaced the head of the military, FBI, stacked SCOTUS and stated “He who saves his country does not violate any law”. He’s sided with autocrats above allies and is purging the public service of non-sycophants. AUKUS? Still beyond questioning? What would it take?
