Thank you to our Prime Minister for standing with Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Time to end AUKUS?

My partner is a Californian. We live in Australia and we have endured the worst of bushfires. We are devastated. It’s beyond our comprehension the enormity of the damage and impact this will have. Sending thanks to the firefighters and love to those affected. 😔🙏

If this cartoon is available, @democracydocket.com would like to publish it on its site. If not, I hope @anntelnaes.bsky.social would be willing to create another one for Democracy Docket to publish. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

I’ve never been a bigger fan of Canada in my life!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve been saying the F word A LOT more since 🤡 was elected.

Back to work tomorrow after 2 wonderful weeks on holiday. 😫

Yep.

I feel relieved and so glad President Biden has pardoned Hunter. As it should be.

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

I found a great Chiropractor. My body was at a very low point. Why do we always leave it until it’s at its worst before getting help. I’m improving but a way to go.

As an Australian voting in many elections in my life, when my party didn’t win, I was very disappointed, but philosophical, accepting democracy and hoping elected party do the right thing. But I’ve never felt the despair and disillusionment I feel now for 🇺🇸. It’s like a very bad dream.

My holiday to New Zealand has been the best thing for me to de stress. Nature is an amazing soother. I was a mess after the U.S. elections. The worry won’t go away. But for now…..

My favourite photos from yesterday in the gardens in New Plymouth. Te Tai Hauauru. The prettiest gardens I’ve ever seen.

Mt. Taranaki’s peak appeared to us whilst we were walking in Pukekura Park.

On Russian State TV, RFK Jr claimed that Swine Flu H1N1, which killed 284,400 people, “never happened” and was fabricated by pharmaceutical companies so they could make money.

One of my biggest worries is that with these men in power who seem to condone sexual assault of women, are sending a messsge that will see a large increase in rape and then unwanted pregnancies. The message to younger men is it’s ok to rape because it gives you power and you can become President!

New Zealand is bloody awesome!

New Zealand is so lush and green and simply beautiful. More places to see and things to do over the next few days. I know now why my sibling loves his retirement here.

Just arrived in beautiful Wellington today, then up a little North to my brother’s home. The view is something I could live with every day!

If you’d told me back in 1987 that the party of Reagan would win in the year 2024 by running a Russian leader puppet felon traitor rapist who ran on pulling us out of NATO and telling us that our country sucked, I would have laughed my ass off and asked what you were smoking.

Wow. This is incredible. New Zealand's parliament is brought to halt by MPs performing a haka. Opposition party MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke begins the ceremonial group dance after asked whether her party supported controversial bill seeking to reinterpret country's founding treaty with Māori people

Just had a chat with our friends in Phoenix. They are devastated. They want to move to Australia. So afraid of the next 4 (or more) years. Said they have never, ever felt this way before. 😔😔😔

Are you kidding! The worst s***show ever!

I have lost all respect for my partner’s family and parents in U.S. I don’t want to visit anymore. It’s even worse because the in-laws neighbour is a close friend and ally of 🤡, so the influence is enormous. I feel sick. It won’t go away.

Took me a week to come to terms with what happened. Actually, I’ll never come to terms with it. Already the s***storm has begun. Can’t watch the news. Can’t stand his voice and the sight of him makes me ill.
