BREAKING: Two planes nearly collided on the runway at Chicago’s Midway Airport thanks to King MuskTrump gutting the FAA & freezing flight control hiring. You are not safe to travel under Trump. And TODAY the House is voting to strip healthcare from 82M Americans!!! #DontCutOurMedicaid

Despite having so thoroughly shamed and embarrassed herself, I see that Linda Reynolds is still playing the victim and making herself look even worse. It’s like these people have no conscience, no compassion, no self awareness and no freaking idea. Good freaking riddance.

This is the way.

Tesla stock fell 8% today. Time for Elon to send an email explaining what he does.

Keep going fuck stick. 15 million pissed off veterans is…15 pissed off veterans…that didn’t have to be. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great news . Now for the sen stars to show some Courage

With this, the media fascination with Pauline Hanson draws to a decades long close. No one has any questions for her. She's redundant because they can get all the hate & confected outrage by going to Peter Dutton. Saves time. #auspol

Recall Dutton wanted 1. National ID card 2. DSP recipients to prove they were married & not in de facto part'ship 3. Wanted DSP rec'nts to work 16 hrs/week 4. Introduced Work Choices 5. Tried to swap seats to McPherson excuse it was safer ❤️ Get the dick out of Dickson #auspol

Vote strategically. And put DUTTON LAST.

A little bit of brilliance from cartoonist Mark David (@mdavidcartoons on another site). #USPolitics #ElonMusk #fascism

AUKUS is one of the stupidest deals I’ve ever seen anyone sign up for and I will never understand why we have.

.Outgoing ABC chief content officer Chris Oliver-Taylor accepts there was "pressure from above" to replace radio presenter Antoinette Lattouf despite receiving advice there was no evidence or reason to remove her at the time, a court has heard.

Given the USA is now ruled by a rogue dictator who rejects the authority of the ICC, I do wish the Albanese Labor Govt would have the courage & decency to withdraw Australia from #AUKUS. They won't. And that says so much about Australia. 😔 #auspol #AusVotes2025

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Pocock and Lambie are right. $800k is too little to run a successful independent challenge. Excluding Dai Le, every new independent who spent under $800k or less in 2022 lost. The smallest successful campaign: $973k. "Illusion of due process" is right. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yep. If you live in the Dickson electorate, you *can* make Australia a better place. VOTE 1️⃣ ALI FRANCE #auspol 📸 pls let me know if this is your work

Donald Trump's declaration US will 'take over' Gaza sparks global outrage 'ethnic cleansing' ( For Netanyahu ) ? Just another WAR CRIME ? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Oh joy, watching the ABC's flagship current affairs show where Sarah Ferguson ask s"Is there any proportion of the Palestinian people in Gaza who would welcome the chance to be relocated?" How about no, because there is no such thing an ok proportion of ethnic cleansing? #730

- PUBLISHED - ABC's 'John Lyons' was dead right !! Saudi Arabia’s former spy chief blasts Trump’s Gaza proposal for ‘ethnic cleansing’ Prince Turki also slammed Israel’s Itamar Ben-Gvir as “the ultimate ethnic cleanser in Palestine” english.alarabiya.net/News/saudi-a...

The mainstream media’s normalisation of Trump’s ‘plan’ to ethnically cleanse Gaza should make them hang their heads in shame and find new careers…but as with their normalisation of Trump himself, it won’t. Because they are shameless.

This is us while ever we continue to vote for career politicians from major parties who are incapable of putting our needs first #auspol

Everyone in Dickson should do this in case Peter Dutton door knocks your house

I cannot believe the Communications Minister just said the Govt has no concerns about Elon Musk owning a big part of our vital telecommunications infrastructure. That’s a very dangerous position for our Govt to take on our behalf. Get some guts Labor!!! #abc730 #auspol

1/4 One of the reasons I'm not sold on nuclear is bcuz ownership will probably eventually fall into the hands of the same ppl who control our energy (& our lives) now. Govt may build it but at some point it'll be sold off, which is what history tells us is likely 🐝 #auspol

“In both cases, it’s unnamed “people” who are complaining. And, in both cases, the identity of those people & the huge influence they are having on the work & lives of those being complained about is not stated outright. But it is, of course, understood.” independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Dr Assal Rad on Twitter— "Headlines like this normalize genocide and crimes against humanity."

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Pathetic: major parties trying to show how tough they are on hate crime, but too scared to condemn genocide

Trump...has ZERO RESPECT FOR OUR MILITARY MEMBERS. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

"Elon Musk has been appointed the lead of President Donald Trump’s newly established Department of Government Efficiency to cut spending and red tap, while also modernising public sector technology to maximise productivity." The AFR spinning total bullshit www.afr.com/policy/econo...

Dutton reckons that men are “fed up” with being discriminated against in the workforce ..but as usual, facts & data don’t back the claim - & Spud is dog whistling to his favourite group for votes- hard-done-by misogynists & Incelbators who support toxic masculinity www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/04/p...

2 insurrections, same President.

Finally some MSM coverage of the $15m+ fund that is being used to flood the zone with smear, division and misinformation. Voters deserve better! #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

There is still beauty in this world

Anyone think Labor will stand up against US fascism? They won’t even stand up for their own “reforms”.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Peter Dutton: "For months on campuses people have been protesting against Jewish students.... waving flags of terrorist organisations... there should be mandatory sentencing". He's talking about people protesting against fucking genocide, and there is ZERO pushback from David Spears. Fuck all this.

This is a brilliant story about women helping women. DEI hires? White male dominated organisations should be so lucky. www.cricket.com.au/news/4205580...

Australia - built on murder.

If you can’t cope with Insiders, ABC iview has just the Talking Pictures segment up with the talented and scrumptious @lelievre.bsky.social and Mike Bowers. It’s worth watching
