The Liberals reunite in Coalition with the Nationals promising to campaign against immigration. So if they can’t beat One Nation, they join them. The Coalition has always existed to divide and conquer in Australia. None of this is a surprise but it’s also so depressingly disappointing.

Trump has weaponised racism, but because of racism, no one is allowed to talk about racism. You can only fix a problem if people want to!

I thought the claim was a staffer posted it? Yet Trump is admitting here that he was responsible for posting the “strong post” which was outrageously racist. They can’t even keep their story straight for a day.
"Certainly, it was a very strong post in terms of voter fraud" -- i was out and about last night, but want to note that Trump's defense of his blatantly racist Truth Social post is totally demented

Excuse me, are we really pretending this is the first time we’ve noticed that Trump is racist? Really? Racism is the whole point of Trump - always has been.

Trump’s America being destroyed by its own racism
Donald Trump’s return to power isn’t a political revival, it’s the inevitable consequence of a nation consumed by the very racism it refuses to confront.

Nine years ago it was considered scandalous that someone in Trump’s circle was racist towards Michelle Obama. Today, Trump shared a video depicting Michelle and Barack Obama as gorillas. This is how far standards of decency have fallen in 9 years.

I hope that after the failed terrorist attack on Indigenous Australians that the RC into social cohesion and antisemitism will make time and space to consider how hatred directed at racial and religious minorities is also being directed at Aboriginal people. It was only luck that bomb didn’t go off.

Police are saying the terrorist who threw a bomb into the Perth Invasion Day rally was “pro white male” (what? Don’t you mean white supremacist?) and acted alone after being radicalised online. How many times do I have to say it: NO ONE RADICALISES THEMSELVES!

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Someone threw a bomb into an Invasion Day protest. Time to get serious about extremism and radicalism. Not all men (just like not all men kill women) but enough that we have a problem! So sick of being told to shut up about it because some feel triggered by the conversation.

America is not ok.
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

The people who have constantly said it is hyperbolic to say Trump desires to destroy American democracy and Trump is a fascist and Trump is an authoritarianism, are not just wrong - obviously and painfully so - but have also helped Trump to legitimise his authoritarianism and assault on democracy.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

When reality doesn’t suit Trump, he does whatever he can to hide reality - whether that be suing media, lying, threatening - whatever it takes to manipulate his supporters to accept his false reality. Thing is, reality has a way of winning in the end. Hide polls all you like Trump - they are true.
Trump says he will sue over another poll because he does not like the results.
