Probs no more complex than an auto Google search of ESTA applicants alongside the 100 or so words banned on US govt (and increasingly, private) websites. I always felt a scrubbed or burner phone was no protection from a simple google search. Fascism by Chat GPT. www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

Remember the rightful outcry when women were detained and stripped of their searched cos a dead baby was found in an airport loo? The US conducting strip and cavity searches because of 1000 deleted anxiety producing texts from an ex…. Completely normal

Does it strike anyone as a little “odd”, that the Nats (and the Libs) are talking about themselves, but not the rural and regional communities they purport to represent, currently disappearing under a rising ocean?

Howard set the Libs on their #RoadToRuin so it’s kinda fitting that it was also under his leadership that the Nats last deserted the party. It’s the policy, stupid. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...
‘Stupid move’: Howard lashes Coalition split as Nationals leave Ley to go it alone

Trading in lunacy. How Trump’s tariffs will ‘save’ masculinity
Tariffs will bring “manly” jobs back to the US, according to Trump supporters. Economists aren’t so sure.

I’ve made the difficult decision to pull a planned trip to the US. I can’t and won’t be complicit in Trump’s MAGA regime. I won’t feel pressured into being silent. A lifetime of fighting for human rights, DEI practice and LGBTIQA+/gender equality is not a source of shame or a reason to hide.

Trump has form in both sides-ing. He did it in Charlottesville and he did it today in the Oval Office. There’s barely any daylight between the Proud Boys and Putin, between the storming of the Capitol and the invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskyy is a hero; Trump is a common thug and a moron.
