#Canada #Australia #NewZealand #UK #England. Demand we remove America from the five eyes whilst Trump and Musk are in The Whitehouse

Wow! What a great cover!

Previously on Bylines Scotland… The cult of individualism is growing across the world

Same could be said for Peter Dutton (mini trump) in Australia 🇦🇺

That space for the UK between the EU and the US is becoming smaller by the day.

#ClassWar#EatTheRich The American myth of greatness is dead

A 47-year-old man has died and another is due to face court on a murder charge after an incident at a home in northern New South Wales.

Big policy ideas that pass the pub test ~ John Longhurst

Dutton is lying. He wants to eliminate bulk billing. He’s tried before, if he gets elected, he’ll wipe bulk billing out. He has never supported bulk billing and never will. He’s going to say a lot of things, they’re lies. Like Tony Abbott style lies. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Labor is not perfect… far from it in fact… but so much better than the alternative uncaring 1 track thug.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

🎯

Mark Butler goes back to when Dutton as Health Minister was condemned by GPs for trumpeting “skewed & misleading” data & when he “tried to abolish bulk billing altogether” Says b/billing went into “free fall” as a “direct result of a deliberate decision made by Peter Dutton” youtu.be/BR7O9pkx2qo?...

“No Australian should have to check their bank balance to see if they can afford to see a doctor. That is not who we are, that is not the future we want." This could be an election winning statement! #auspol #NotDutton #NotLNP www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I do wonder, with the Tesla, how much is in the battery's "reserve tank." I was at minus 2 per cent when we got to Gundagai. Would it have got to minus 5, before conking out?

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Day 20 #Turquoise of #FebruARTy I usually only post images of my artwork, but thought this photo I took on a recent trip to Seville, Spain fit perfectly for today’s challenge. Those turquoise tiles just make the scene!

Those idiots act like this moron is going to live forever. He’s too old, stupid and unfit to be President now. They better start looking for their next Nazi to worship. 🙄

What the fuck does “requesting to understand what they got done last week” even mean? It sounds like they are demanding that government employees be less efficient by requiring them to send emails about the work they already did, instead of letting them move on and get other work done. Idiots. 🙄

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know…” Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of “DEI woke shit” I know BlueSky is supposed to be all nice and positive, etc, but more people should be reading about stuff like this… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

1. Wealth without work. 2. Pleasure without conscience. 3. Knowledge without character. 4. Commerce without morality. 5. Science without humanity. 6. Religion without sacrifice. 7. Politics without principle. A list of social sins written by Frederic Donaldson and Mohandas Gandhi in 1925.

Morning. ☕️

DOGE is an extreme example of what you get when you let consultants into areas of public service they don’t want to understand, but just have predetermined outcome The last we need is Dutton letting loose more consultants on our public service

Congrats, ALP you really thought this one through

www.reuters.com/world/americ.... In my own small way I’m boycotting the USA. Aussies lost lives fighting wars for US warmongers. How dare they put tariffs on Australia with a trade surplus & a multi $billion Aukus rip off. Fuck the US. Americans chose trump so he should be their problem, not ours.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?
