Every day I ask myself, "Can they out-stupid themselves?", and every day I answer, "Yes. Yes they can.".

That's … the perfect Trump economy.
Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

The only way to ensure delivery of the AUKUS subs is to pre commit to using them against our most important trading partner China. Have we already given the commitment to surrender our sovereignty and attack China if the US demands it? No politician has addressed this reality.

At last! An Australian reporter does the public a service by exposing the reality of the crazy AUKUS “deal”. Well done Ben Doherty and the Guardian. Insurmountable legislative, technical, and production problems and a future US President bound to put US interests before ours.

Obvs this was embarrassing and yet another example of Israel turning otherwise sensible people into logic-defying, genocide excusing sycophants. But it's also such a waste of an opportunity. Why wouldn't anyone want to learn from Hedges? The guy has more experience & integrity than almost anyone

Please explain to me, as if I was a homeless and hungry 5yo child living in an uninsured car with my unemployed mother, @australianlabor.bsky.social's "policy choice" to keep millions of Australians living in abject poverty, @albomp.bsky.social.

I'm waiting. #auspol

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"

A few short hours ago, 7 children and 3 women were murdered by Israel when an IOF tank fired on a Palestinian family as they tried to return home in Gaza.

Did you find this news "extraordinarily moving," @senatorwong.bsky.social? Is this the "pause" that induced you to fawn over Trump? #auspol
Has our national broadcaster in Australia mentioned the #NoKings rallies at all today? Happy to talk about bs like monster cats but no mention of the marches in US against the monster man baby in the Whitehouse. #auspol

One of the best signs so far and those huddled masses that we're fighting for.

I quickly ducked into a hotel to get these shots and I’m so glad I did.

It’s so hard to get a sense of how big the crowd is when you’re on the ground.

Albanese’s an insular, deeply institutionalised apparatchik who has spent his whole adult life in service to ‘The Party’.
ALP is his principal loyalty & focus - instead of people of Australia.
He is emblematic & stereotypical of the ‘political elite’ & lacks a scintilla of real world life experience

Where is the retribution for Israel breaking the ceasefire? Or are we all just pretending it’s not happening and waiting for Hamas to do something so Israel’s massacre of Palestinians can pick up the pace again?
BREAKING: The bodies of 29 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks have been brought to Gaza's hospitals over the past 24 hours, reports the health ministry.

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.
