He nails it.

Just a gentle reminder that 54% of the American population has the literacy of a sixth grader. Around 21% is illiterate. www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac... Coincidentally, the worst literacy statistics are in rural and red states. #Maga

Never forget.

Friday night: Wednesday night's #PlanetAmerica on iview. Intelligent, informed commentary & sharp analysis. Superb. Thanks @therealjohnbarron.bsky.social and May the Force be with Chas Licciardello. 😊 #USPolitics #Russia #Ukraine #USjustice iview.abc.net.au/show/planet-...

Here’s a very simple thing you can do to get people out of an information distortion field: help someone get set up on Bluesky. Sit with them, help them through the process *in person*, show them features, suggest good accounts to follow, put out a call for followers for them on your own account.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Peter Dutton is NOT your mate!!

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Hasn’t slipped enough but it’s a start. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

The orange narcissist is absolutely unhinged. This is on the Whitehouse Instagram page.

No. Scripture is the claim. There is no evidence to support the claims of a god or gods.

Oh FFS. Go back to Twitter where you belong with all the other happy clappers, nutters and conspiracy theorists.

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

Clothes made of nylon often end up in landfill, but engineered bacteria that break down the plastic may give new hope for recycling.

It’s interesting to me how often people fall for propaganda. All of us are susceptible to propaganda. This is why skepticism and critical thinking are super important. Tobacco companies had propaganda for a long time. We still see the effects of it and it being translated to other conspiracies

Trump blaming Russia’s invasion on Ukraine is the start of his spread of misinformation. He has already requested that Ukraine holds a general election. Do the math, Trump wants Zelenskyy out and a weak figurehead in so he can manipulate them into surrendering to Putin. Clear as day

An important point to keep in mind.

If his doesn’t scare the absolute crap out of you, you aren’t paying attention.

So much for free speech!

US and Russian officials met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the highest-level talks to date between the two former Cold War foes on ending the war in Ukraine reut.rs/42ZPIqE
