Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

OH DEAR CHRIST. Liberal HQ: our candidate for Whitlam is a right wing crazy! We have to dump him for someone else! Other Liberals: what about this guy? Liberal HQ: great! He’ll really bring the chicks back!

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Xi is about to visit Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Malaysia warns of slump over US tariff as visit by China’s Xi spurs trade hopes www.scmp.com/week-asia/ec...

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

The White House has just released a new official statement as the economy crashes: “The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”

The Orange Scumbag chose a golf event instead of honoring our soldiers.

Obscene…

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Welcome to Idiocracy.

Dark Pence is back.

Can journalists please fricking stop calling them "reciprocal" tariffs. They are not reciprocal at all.

Oh, and Trump’s tariff people don’t seem to know the difference between sovereign nations and sovereign territories: hope this helps, you guys!

Trump is imposing tariffs on Australian beef because Australia blocked imports of US beef. Why did we do this? Because we were concerned about loose biosecurity measures in the USA that made their beef vulnerable to *mad cow disease*. Boycott American, buy Australian: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Let's get clear about what's going on in #Gaza: - The ceasefire came to an end because Israel unilaterally changed the terms of the agreement with Hamas - The agreed ceasefire plan was for all hostages to be released and Israeli troops to be fully withdrawn from Gaza

Democracy > Oligarchy

Michael Waltz used Gmail for government communications - but her emails…

Spudnik can’t help himself. He says he’s going to destroy the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards That wld mean higher fuel costs, more pollution & increased reliance on foreign oil I see why Advance r pushing the “Ute tax” lie Dutton is literally working for fossil fuel theaimn.net/the-coalitio...

Good trouble indeed #corybooker #filibuster #goodtrouble

As Trump slashes education, health & outlaws progressive media outlets.. Spudnik is developing his own brand of slash-&-burn with cuts to education, health & the abc.. ..bec apparently being educated, healthy & informed is a waste of good resources for Gina. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

BREAKING: There are actions across the country today calling for the immediate release of illegally abducted and detained union members Rumeysa Ozturk and Lewelyn Dixon! ICE is acting like the gestapo and we can't turn a blind eye. Repost if you demand their release! #4The1st

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

The passing of the baton? Implicit endorsement? #Booker28 ?

@booker.senate.gov has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 20 HOURS and counting. #RESPECT

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Cory Booker has been filibustering on the Senate floor for 12 hours and still going, protesting Trump’s trampling of the constitution. meidasnews.com/news/cory-bo...

Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

As Australia votes, don't lose sight of the Trump Administration's assaults on health

Fox News normalising America taking over Greenland 😱 "If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland, we're big boys" "We dropped a-bombs on Japan and now they're our top ally in the Pacific"

Spud once again blaming immigrants for housing crisis. During Covid immigration decreased & rents still went UP. Negative gearing, Howard’s changes to capital gains tax & shrinking social housing are the main drivers. Stop demonising immigrants. Start blaming those benefiting from housing crisis

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

An open letter to federal election candidates, on the importance of clean air

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."
