Donald Trump’s dog shit “Meme Coin” that was worth $60 on inauguration day….is now “worth” $16. Pump and Dump, to fleece the dipshits. Gets them every time.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

The handwringing over Chinese warships in the Tasman sea is something about the goose and the gander. www.firstpost.com/world/japane...

Imagine any other major business fabricating their primary product in this way. Belle Gibson levels of bullshit.

Cripes the libertarian free speech types will be up in arms over this

Delicious. The the ABCs Sydney reporter Miles somebody can’t pronounce “due”. He just said that the new NSW anti-racism laws will provide serious penalties for anybody loitering around a Synagogue without “Jew” reason for being there.

Wow Trump doubles down on moving 1.8 Gaza Palestinians out of Gaza. Proposes US would take over Gaza in the interim to clean it up.

Remember where you heard it first. The Australian Trade Minister in Albo’s government Don Farrell is retiring at the next election. He is 71 in June. Know as “the Don” in the Right faction of the Labor party Farrell has controlled the SA branch for 20 years.

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way" Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated... Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

Stop what you’re doing and pay attention to what’s happening in the Tennessee legislature. Spread the word.

Christians and Republicans. Every time.

AI leaders are ready to bring a new "Intelligence Age" to the US, but several challenges await those building the infrastructure needed to get there.

With Trump now assuming charge of the US, it's time for Australia to have a sober reassessment of our part in AUKUS. It's gravely concerning that for so long, successive Australian governments have contracted out so much of Australia’s defence & foreign policy to the US.

At WIRED's The Big Interview event, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber discussed the booming user numbers for the Twitter rival and why giving social media users more control is a recipe for success. www.wired.com/story/big-in...

Bill Shorten resigned from parliament only days after his crime gang charged with stealing $2.7million. Coincidence?  kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/01/19/b...

Many thanks to @lassiewelsh.bsky.social for this print copy of Richard Flanagan's excoriating analysis of prime minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor party which was published in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. #auspol

Your insurance company doesn’t believe Dutton’s nuclear fantasy “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that this policy shall not apply to any loss, arising out of, directly or indirectly, nuclear reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination regardless of how it was caused.”

The banks are there to make profits but charges devalue currency which is why cash is king

Peter Dutton wants to keep Australians angry & fearful, so they're distracted from the fact that his ONLY policy is to serve the interests of Gina Rinehart. The Liberal Party's only goal is to protect the profits of the fossil fuels industry. Voters in Dickson can #DumpDutton. #auspol #AusVotes2025

Just released to me under #FOI is a never-before-seen chapter of the Official History of Australian Operations in Timor that was secretly expunged from the history. It tells uncomfortable truths and confirms Howard Govt lies and public deceit. Full story on Michael West Media soon. #auspol

Twiggy Forrest has called out "net" zero as a "con to maintain fossil fuels" & plans to decarbonise Fortescue. So, what is "real" zero? Richard Denniss told ABC Radio Illawarra "real" zero is simple: less bad things & more of the good things. #auspol #climate @richarddenniss.bsky.social

Wow. If Bannon thinks you are evil you must be really really bad. His bar is low. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I have no words "State Farm, one of the biggest insurers in California, canceled hundreds of homeowners' policies last summer in Pacific Palisades—the same area which is now being ravaged by a devastating wildfire. The move was justified by the company as an attempt to avoid "financial failure".."

On it!! #auspol

Has anyone come across RECENT polling in Australia of attitudes to the war in/on Gaza? It seems passingly strange to me that I can’t find anything recent.

Santos is paying a fine of 40c a litre for the oil they unlawfully polluted into the ocean … about a quarter of what a litre of petrol costs at the bowser

#BREAKING: Pharmacy Guild President Trent Twomey misses out on Golden Globe for his heart-wrenching performance as "impoverished chemist facing 655 pharmacy closures". #auspol #pharmacyguild #parody

Dear @australianlabor.bsky.social Finland teaches children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. This starts in primary school. Something to consider for Australia. 🤔 #auspol #education

Scores of top university bureaucrats earn more than the Federal Treasurer while teaching staff have been victims of massive wage theft. Our universities have become greedy corporations, no longer the nation building institutions they’re meant to be. 1/2 #auspol

I have so many stories about Bob. But foremost to my mind is that I see him as a legend and political hero. Happy B'day Bob 💚💚💚 My fav saying from Bob. "ask yourself if in 100 years time you will be thanked for the decision you make today". (or words to that effect).

What a nasty grub Dutton is. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

The Wisconsin school shooting is the 83 school shooting of 2024. Let’s hope the shooting of a health insurance executive doesn’t become the subject of copy cat shootings.If it did that would provide a real motivation for US gun law reform.

@6newsau.bsky.social Wow. Big news. The 5 remaining incarcerated members of the Bali 9 are in the air flying to Australia. Remember where you heard it first.
