Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

Sadly yes

He’s completely insane. apnews.com/article/trum...

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Most chode in a sea of them.

Greedy Oligarchs don't want to pay Taxes. They want most of us working as modern day serfs. Local businesses employ locally, they Sponsor local clubs. They battle to survive like us.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.

Why didn't Dutton get a heads up on Putin's plans from his great friend Trump? Isn't Dutton besties with Trump? Doesn't Trump suck up to Putin? Don't dictators talk to each other any more?

Dutton still hasn't told this nut case to shut up until the election is over? I think he's just given up. He knows he's going to lose, and he doesn't care any more.

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

I love how this is framed as controversial

Brilliant work from Alan Kohler (sadly one of the very few class acts left at our once great public broadcaster). #auspol “The United States has become a gangster state. Australia should rethink its relationship with America because alliance is becoming obeisance.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Alan Kohler nails it: America is becoming a gangster state. Australia should rethink its relationship because alliance will turn into obeisance. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Councils in Australia can afford to buy "investments"? Like a Bunnings franchise? This is what they do with your rates, Newcastle? I had no idea. Is this like a sovereign fund? I wonder what kind of investments Merri-bek Council in Victoria has? www.realestatesource.com.au/council-buys...

Republicans: "Let's go back to the good old days" Me: "You mean the good old days when rich corporations and individuals paid more tax?" Republicans: "NO! NOT THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS!"

I, for one, welcome our plastic overlords in our brain.

and yet they come to Europe and lecture everyone on free speech

BREAKING: On the question of how much financial help he is providing to his Son to buy his first home, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has finally answered "I'm not helping him at all. He will be dipping into his trust fund. That's what all young buyers should be doing." #auspol

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Wealth. Greed. Intolerance. Buying power. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I find "the others are in the dishwasher, use this one or get your own fucking coffee" is quite the winning argument

badass: “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness.”

I didn’t change my name when I got married for some very practical reasons but I never thought “so I can keep voting” would be among them

Trump was asked this week how he would determine tariff exemptions for American companies. “Instinctively,” he responded. That’s not a policy — it’s racketeering. Pay Trump. Get a deal.

incredible the way trump is getting embarrassed on the world stage getting dog walked by china, dunked on by canada, immediately reconfiguring his delusional tariffs which arent even being collected at ports as his approval ratings crater…all while putin is openly ignoring him. embarrassing stuff

i hope i never know in my life what it feels like to be this happy while holding a sign like this.

only years later when she had a wound healing under a cast did joan crawford truly understand the folly of banishing wire hangers

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

speedrunning the “be shittier than kissinger” challenge

More flagrant Liberal party hypocrisy. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

I second this. Time for real consequences.

literally every time I talk to friends

he picked the wrong enemy here. he can’t bully china into submission — they have the upper hand.

Dutton now on ABC “Albanese has created an immigration boom that created a housing crisis”. Yeah I’m sure the housing crisis is not because you and people like you own 26 investment properties. Fucking clown. #auspol
