So does Australia end up in China sphere or USA sphere? Can’t help thinking we’ll suck up to USA and they’ll ditch us to China in a heartbeat. What say you #auspol?

Where does Australia end up? With China or USA? Is this why we’re sticking with AUKUS? @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

So where is Australia going to end up when Trump/Putin’s new world order and spheres of influence gets established? Is this why @albomp.bsky.social won’t withdraw from AUKUS, so we stay with the US sphere and not the China sphere? #auspol

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: Trump’s speech announcing a huge increase in tariffs on American trading partners was riddled with falsehoods and misleading statements on trade that he has made for years. Here’s a quick sampling, in the order in which he made them.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Remember when Republicans pretended they cared that you were paying $1 more for eggs before enabling Trump to destroy the entire economy, gut your 401K, and send the price of literally everything higher?

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

what if it just took one though

No one believed it was possible for a pandemic to stop the world in its tracks. So why can’t we stop #DumbPotus47 from destroying us all over again?

Stop waiting for change. No one is going to hand us freedom, power, or equality. We have to take it. Be bold, take action, and never underestimate the impact of one woman who refuses to back down

We are not side characters. We do not exist to support someone else’s story. We are the main characters, the authors, the leaders of our own lives. Stop waiting for permission to take control

#JoeRogan is a douche. Chasing followers and clicks without a care in the world and now the world has #DumbPotus47 to deal with. He shouldn’t get off the hook easily. With a migrant background himself you’d think he’d have more sense. #FukJoeRogan

Absolutely agree! Australia must rethink everything it share with Trump - wait for when he’s gone #auspol

My evening thought is that I suspect a great many Americans, in the period after 1989, grew very used to a world in which it didn't matter *that* much who they elected (to them). They had the rule of law, the most prosperous economy in human history, the long peace. But it always mattered.

Music to my ears! I’ve been flipping the bird at Tesla drivers for a while now.

why the fuck do people still think a guy who bankrupted a casino is a smart and savvy businessman

One thing about today's tariff shitshow is that congress could undo all this nonsense tonight and the damage would still be huge, because these actions have decisively signaled that the US is an unreliable international trading partner—and this impacts political and economic strategy worldwide.

Hey @briantylercohen.bsky.social & @meidastouch.com has anyone checked to see if Dolly’s ‘Islands in the Stream’ have been hit with tariffs? youtu.be/UaNGtgYwSsU?... #DumbPotus47

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Dark Pence is back.

Unfortunately that’s exactly why Trump does what he does. He knows the overload will make good people zone out and he’ll have free rein

Update from Australia @briantylercohen.bsky.social Trump’s economic self-sabotage tariffs will be 10% - hardly ‘mates rates’ for a longstanding ally. But 29% tariff for Norfolk Island - guess Trump’s geography knowledge doesn’t know NI is part of Australia #DumbPotus47

Never forget his cruelty #NeverDutton Say NO to #TemuTrump #AusVotes2025 #auspol

#NeverDutton Say NO to #TemuTrump With friends like Rinehart, Pell, Jones we should be very concerned #AusVotes2025

When you don’t know, vote no to Dutton. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Labor is raising wages for 3,000,000 working Australians Dutton’s Coalition wants to stop these pay rises. Dutton calls them “disastrous”. Don’t risk Dutton #auspol

#NeverDutton #TemuTrump His guy is NOT who Australia should have in charge working with Trump. Never forget who his real friend are: Rinehart, Jones, Pell #auspol #AusVotes2025

More proof @albomp.bsky.social the USA is not our ally & can’t be trusted. Exit AUKUS #auspol

Strength is not just muscle. Strength is resilience, intelligence, and the refusal to back down. Strength is rising after every setback. Strength is knowing our worth and never compromising

Our dreams are not “too big.” The only thing too small is their vision. If they tell us to settle for less, refuse. Keep going, keep growing, and never let them convince us to shrink

Patriarchy is not destiny. Just because something has existed for centuries does not mean it must continue. It is not unchangeable; it is not natural. It is meant to be challenged and destroyed

The ABC will not survive a Dutton Government. And in some ways the ABC is playing a significant role in its own demise by cowering to the very people who want to undermine it - & due to this they are also losing their loyal audience. C'mon ABC - get your act together #auspol

They built walls to keep us down. They designed systems to exclude us, to limit our choices, to make us feel powerless. But walls can be broken, and systems can be dismantled. Keep pushing. Never settle
