“The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up.” Some federal employees, both in public and behind closed doors, are resisting Elon Musk’s orders using whatever means they have. nyti.ms/3D4V7T2

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

AZ AG Kris Mayes: Let’s talk about that visual of Elon Musk with the ridiculous chainsaw. I don’t think he’s ever actually used a chainsaw in his life. I don’t know what that was—some lame attempt to make himself look manly.

Remember all those platitudes after the child abuse Royal Commission about how we as a society were going to treat victim-survivors of institutional abuse better? Read Rick Morton in The Saturday Paper today. I shake my head in utter disbelief. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Exactly

I see many RWNJs on here expressing their legitimate disgust at Hamas for taking young children hostage and torturing them. But there are Australian politicians who also have a history of locking children up and torturing them. #auspol

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

The rorts never stop

90% of WA’s gas is exported and the federal government gives them three quarters of the gas royalty-free. To add insult to injury, no gas export project has EVER paid PRRT. Big gas is taking the piss. Tonight in Fremantle with @johnbutlermusic.bsky.social, we'll discuss what to do about it. 🔗👇

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”

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Excellent. And if the crossbenchers can make this happen, they should also require that the current NACC bosses are replaced. #auspol

I WANT NAMES!

Ben English, the editor of the Daily Telegraph, said the newspaper “never intended to provoke an incident at the Cairo Takeaway restaurant” . Then what WAS your intention Ben? Hmmm? WHAT WAS IT? #auspol #accountability www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Can I suggest that since the ABC is acknowledging that News Corp are "agenda driven" in attacking the ABC, that they acknowledge News Corp is "agenda driven" on everything, and therefore the ABC should not amplify News Corp's political agenda and platform their staff? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Well what do you know, turns out there is a corruption issue in the Robodebt referrals worth investigating. NACC independent reviewer says all six people referred should be investigated for possible corrupt conduct. The NACC gets to do the investigation, of course. www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

Trump said he would be respected on the world stage? Why is he the butt of jokes all over the planet? 🤡

The ABC is pre-emptively buckling #auspol
