Absolutely @janecaro.bsky.social Australia needs to speak softly because we don't carry a big stick. We need to examine whether Australia's best interests are in line with America, but not while Trump & Musk are in full blown fascist strike mode. We need to talk to China, Canada, UK & EU #SundayShot

It soon enough. This man is responsible for so much govt manipulation around the world it isn’t funny! He’s a pox, a gobshite.

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.

Politicians who fail to pursue the criminal convictions of other politicians who have broken the law, are complicit in creating the problem of politicians being above the law.

You often hear an analysis of a President or Prime Minister’s time in office which refers to their “legislative agenda” and I’m having some trouble figuring out what that is exactly for a President who governs by Executive Order. 🤷🏾

Wise man…

February 24, 2022. Zelensky's address 4 hours before the full-scale Russian invasion. “We do not need a war, neither cold, nor hot, nor hybrid. But we will defend ourselves. When you attack, you will see our faces, not our backs”. 👏👏👏👏👏

Chalmers is always impressive. So good to have people like him in charge #Insiders

Neither am I. Lefties unite!!

Eggs are now so expensive they’re smuggling them like fentanyl.

America's Russia policy is a failure of critical thinking and foresight: This persistent inability to appreciate the thinking exposed by another great power is especially striking given that Russia’s policies have not changed at all since the days of Ivan the Terrible or even earlier.

It is just the beginning!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Don't forget to watch tomorrow. Well worth the watch. Last week's was a cracker.

URGENT: 7:19pm: Grass fire in Kilmore heading towards Donnybrook. Residents of Bylands, Forbes, Springfield, and Willowmavin should activate their fire plans. This is exactly how, with similar weather conditions, Black Saturday started. Activate your fire plan and prepare. Now.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

From henceforth I shall be referring to the Orange blob as Krasnov the name given to him by his Russian handlers.

In 5 days the date will be 25022025 (the way Australians do dates, at least), and if that's not proof that this is all a bizarre dream, I don't know what is!

Absolute nonsense being published in the national broadsheet. The preferential system doesn't *favour Labor*, it favours voters' choices. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/polit...

What’s the best way to influence politicians and government policy when it comes to nature conservation? Researchers from RMIT surveyed ex-politicians, public servants, community groups and non-government organisations and found 4 ways to create real change for nature 🌍🧪 @sbekessy.bsky.social

Out on the sweeping plains west of Broken Hill, some curious teenager emus came all the way from the horizon right over to see what I was doing. The wildflowers include darling peas, swainson-peas and native daisies. Boolcoomatta Reserve, South Australia.

It's great to see past leaders coming forward and speaking.

Trump having a dummy spit because he can’t force Ukraine to give away their rare earth minerals!

My message to Australian politicians: this is a time of reckoning. Reality is about to bite you.

If people think the ruling class failing to conserve biodiversity and supporting a safe climate is because they don’t understand the issues well enough, they are sorely, sorely mistaken…and rather naive.

Water is our most precious resource. But Peter Dutton wants to spend $600 billion in taxpayer money on one of the most water intensive energies, nuclear. Under Peter Dutton’s proposed nuclear model he will ultimately need three times more water than coal to keep the lights on.

The National Press Club needs to correct an error on their website claiming “every” Opp leader has addressed the NPC. It should instead read “Every Australian Prime Minster & Opposition Leader (except for Peter Dutton) has addressed the National Press Club during the past forty years”

This is the perfect image for Multi-millionaire Peter Dutton, our wannabe PM. Please use often. We simply cannot risk #TemuTrump in the Lodge. #auspol

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

We turn to academia & the fourth estate for scientifically rigorous, evidentially based, objective & unbiased knowledge. The reason very few right wing attitudes are found in universities or quality journalism, is because most RW ideas aren't scientifically rigorous or evidentially based. #auspol

The Battle of the Blands .. #auspol #TemuTrump #DuttontheDud #CliveBabet

DOGE recommended firing staff at USDA who were working on the nation's response to bird flu and hundreds of employees working at the National Nuclear Security Administration overseeing our nuclear stockpile. Now the Trump admin is scrambling to hire them back. "Efficiency."

Breaking: Denmark just bought the state of California for 15 dozen eggs; Trump claimed it's his best deal ever.

Ukraine should not make a deal with regards to resources with the USA - they should do it with the EU. The USA isn’t to be trusted with it and will simply not hold up their end of the deal.

Dont give in to hate, that leads to the dark side -Obi Wan ESB MAGA is now starting to see the darkness....

Trump closed the Kennedy Library.
