Welfare payments are increasingly conditional and subject to the whims of profiteering job agencies - who can't even help people find work!

We must stop expecting Labor to be better. Maintaining an underclass of people living in permanent precarity is part of their business model.

Usha Vance Is Not a Victim. She’s a Villain

The second lady deserves to be held accountable for what she’s chosen to represent and the role she has willingly played in an admin whose values run counter to her very existence.

JTA also talks about internal heritage discussions about whether to talk about Fuentes and Owens or whether to just pretend they didn't exist. (they decided to pretend they didn't exist. whoops.)

JTA has a good rundown of the groups and people fleeing heritage. www.jta.org/2025/11/03/u...

Jewish exodus underway from Heritage Foundation’s antisemitism initiative over Tucker Carlson - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Project Esther, launched as a conservative strategy to fight antisemitism, appears to be unraveling after Heritage's president defended Carlson’s friendly interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes...

Our government pays for the public broadcaster. And yes, the commercial stations ( esp. Murdoch) reliant on ad revenue hate that and complain bitterly about lack of equitability, but our government, while not always funding it well enough, still continues to recognise the value of free to air.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Neo-Nazis Are Launching the White Australia Party to Run in the Next Federal Election

The National Socialist Network is establishing a political party called White Australia, which could see neo-Nazis running for parliament in the next election.

“Speaker Johnson, many Americans are wondering why you’re unable to see or hear any developments in the news. Some are speculating that you were kicked in the head by a horse; others theorize that you’ve been huffing spray paint. Which is it?”

For @spitfirenews.com I wrote about "ChatGPT induced psychosis," how the chatbot distorts reality for all of its users, and why, despite what feels like growing pressure to conform to the hype, I still won't use it (and I'm not missing out)

The corporate media isn't reflecting how unpopular Trump is right now, but his approval rating is primed to go even lower -- consumers are now feeling the price hikes from tariffs, the government shutdown has claimed SNAP, and ICE lawlessness is ramping up. At some point soon, it will break through.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 22h

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

Once in a generation, a government makes a decision so humane, so quietly revolutionary, that it changes the moral temperature of the country. This week, New Mexico did exactly that declaring that child care, the backbone of every working family, will be free for everyone.

In U.S. first, New Mexico launches free child care for all

Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.
