That's historical for a country like #Austria, when three different parties from three different ideological backgrounds (Conservative, Liberal and Social Democratic) are united to form a government. Well done, Austria 🇦🇹 #KoalitionsVerhandlungen

Between 2021 and today, Elon Musk went from sharing memes about fringe cryptocurrencies and promoting clean energy technologies to spreading extremist conspiracy theories. Can this stark transition perhaps be pinpointed to a single event – maybe even a single tweet? Anthony Cuthbertson reports:

Right-wing extremists, white nationalists, and neo-Nazis are celebrating an alarming gesture made by world’s richest man Elon Musk. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A forgotten lesson in history: in 1931, Germany's main far-right political parties—the German National People's Party and the National Socialist German Workers' Party—formed a brief alliance known as the 'Harzburg Front,' which was backed by industrial interests... #TrumpInauguration

No, we're not in the 1930s, and we won't turn clocks back to that BLACK period of humans' history 🙅‍♂️ Period. #TrumpInaugration #TrumpInaugration2025

Elle Hardy on how Elon Musk appears to be distorting the X algorithm to further his own political goals. “Whenever his attention alights on something, whether it's true or false, then suddenly there's this swell of attention around it.”

Want a snap morning reading while heading towards your workplace or university, I will suggest reading this article by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Musk's business in Australia? No ✋️. #Auspol www.smh.com.au/technology/t...

All the scientific progress in the fields of environmental and gender studies has been attacked on 'X' under the pretext of "freedom of speech." Now, it's Meta's turn. #Meta

"The Open Society and Its Enemies" could easily echo the leadership style of Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Elected in 2015 amidst rising extremism, Trudeau adopted a humanistic approach, championing tolerance and diversity in an increasingly polarised world. Well done, Trudeau 👏🏻 #Canpoli

A commendable move by the Australian government. Amid widespread misinformation, it has pledged support for two independent public broadcasters: ABC and SBS 👏🏻. #Auspol

In 1980, at the Democratic National Convention, Jimmy Carter paid tribute to refugees from Eastern Europe who fled totalitarianism. Forty years later, a president launched a full-scale attack on refugees, and global leadership now lacks moderation in a time of extremes. RIP President #Carter.

Applause to the Social Democratic Party of Germany, @spdde.bsky.social, for standing against Musk's efforts to rape German democracy! Fun part of SPD, the following post reads as 'Elon, Murks,' that means 'Elon, rubbish' in German: #btw25 www.instagram.com/p/DEKYu6jI7t...

Canada, like Australia, is part of the Commonwealth and has a stable, vibrant democracy. However, many are unaware of the historical, socio-economic, and political factors behind its formation. I humbly suggest Frontier as a simplified version of "Canadian History for Dummies." #CDNpoli

Ignoring the scientific reality isn't a surprise by a president who trusts RFK Jr. to take health advice...

Today, the main competitor of Western liberal democratic values will be Turkey. This period is a test to the West. Either the West triumphs against the medieval order of Ottomans or let the neo-Ottomans control the region as they did and subjugated the minorities...

Swedish Social Democrats have long led the polls by emphasising tough crime policies and migrant integration, a strategy also followed by Denmark's ruling Social Democrats since 2019. The global centre-left should learn from the Swedish and Danish examples.

Hats off to the Irish Social Democrats 👒. After running on an anti-austerity manifesto, they made a 1.99% swing, securing 4th place, just behind the traditional three parties: Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and Sinn Féin. #GE24 #GE2024

Believe me, it's going to be a very bad day for Musk🤡 #GE24 #GE2024

Fianna Fáil's rise stemmed from its promises to reduce student debt, prioritise housing for disadvantaged communities, and support social progressivism, like banning conversion therapy. These policies broadened its appeal to a wider electorate. #GE2024 #GE24

Dear Irish people, Vote today to protect your Republic from the apocalypse of Musk's oligarchy. Vote any party that stands for liberal democratic fundamentals against populism. #GE2024

The rape of democracy is underway by the duopoly of Musk's corporationism and the Russian oligarchy!

No, tiny corporatists operating from overseas can not control the process of misinformation flow and undermine the whole rule of law features of liberal democratic societies. Misinformation Bill is a necessity for a healthy democracy and a stable order to function. #Auspol

Musk shall not pass unto Australia's shores! Sign and share to stop the flow of misinformation 👇🏻 nb.australiainstitute.org.au/truth_in_pol... #Auspol

The American state needs an overhaul, and Donald Trump has a mandate for disruption. But Musk-led reform risks creating a new problem for the country: the emergence of a combustible, corrupt oligarchy econ.st/3Z7r6sO

Sadly, Musk's conspiracy theorist agenda will expand into Australia's shores... #Auspol

Amanda Rishworth on how Labor is tackling gender-based violence - podcast

Not surprised by someone who ignores the negative effects of social media's addiction, such as social isolation and loneliness, and more focuses on his companies' profits. #Auspol

I'm here because I'm against Musk's oligarchy ✌🏼
