We turn to academia & the fourth estate for scientifically rigorous, evidentially based, objective & unbiased knowledge. The reason very few right wing attitudes are found in universities or quality journalism, is because most RW ideas aren't scientifically rigorous or evidentially based.

Dear Prime Minister Anthony Albanese @AlboMP, the biggest promoters of hate speech are Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch and politicians.

Will they be covered by the proposed hate speech laws or be exempt as they were in the failed misinformation/disinformation laws?

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.

They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.

They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

Trump ended US taxpayer support for a European ally fighting an imperial invasion - and then charged those same taxpayers additional tariffs to support his own imperial aggression against another European ally.

Australians are deciding USA is not a place to visit… oddly they still are going to Canada. Almost like there is something specific about the US..

We get it, Newsom sucks.

The cure is too find another candidate to back because right now what’s breaking through is “Newsom President.”

You need “AOC President” or “Pete president” to be popular.

A lot of voting is word repetition. Elevate others instead of the person you hate.

Best of 2025: Medicare’s promise was clear: no-one denied care because of cost. Today, split federal–state funding is breaking that promise for millions. Real reform must start there, writes Graeme Stewart. #Medicare #HealthPolicy #AusPol #PublicHospitals #HealthReform

As you already well know by now, it's all lies.

Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie.

All of it.

Every time.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

Canada will allow Chinese EV's for sale in Canada. Just a reminder Canada isn't building any EV's like the Chinese made BYD's. So Doug Ford can sit the F down.

“don’t give them an excuse, they’re waiting for a reason to invoke martial law” too often sounds like “dont make too much trouble or they’ll do to the rest of us what they’re currently doing to brown folks”

I find it amazing that the President of the USA tells Iran not to employ military on the protesters in Iran. On the same day he threatens to employ the military on Protesters in the USA.

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

App stores are gateways. Lawmakers want them to have checkpoints.
