Do members of the American Bar Association realise that under a fully fascist Trump regime their jobs will be essentially meaningless?
They’ll either comply or be targeted.
They should be protesting now before it’s too late

I can only imagine how excruciating the excuse making about Israel, the US, and climate change is going to be from senior Labor figures in ten years time when the ABC does one of those ‘The Labor Years’ political retrospective series

If Albanese visits the US after they invoke the Insurrection Act there can be absolutely no doubt he’s comfortable with aligning Australia with a fascist state.

Israel refuses to release two Palestinian doctors

🚨 "Israel" refused to release two detained Palestinian doctors, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, and Dr. Marwan Abu Hams, as part of the ceasefire agreement. A Hamas official confirmed the refusal to CNN. Dr. Abu Safiya was kidnapped from Kamal Adwan Hospital last December after he refused to leave his patients during a raid. He has reportedly lost over 40 kg and suffered severe beatings while held in "Ofer" prison.

The decline of small town Australia is deeply saddening to me, so many amazing memories and histories being gobbled up by time.. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

A quarter of this town's population has vanished. Experts say that could be terminal

In the Yarriambiack Shire, 350 kilometres from Melbourne in Victoria's rural north-west, virtually all of the towns are shrinking.

Mainly because I don’t watch Insiders anymore. And also that as its ratings have tanked the work of Australian cartoonists and photographers gets less recognition.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

can’t comment on Candace because it’s quite obviously a freak show. It’s like driving on the highway and seeing a farmer having sex with a sheep. You don’t want to look, but you can’t look away either. The problems begin when you try to analyze it. It is what it is.
