My good God, reading about USA politics is both exhausting and scary.
Here in Australia, we should be both alert and alarmed.
Protect our precious and fragile democracy - with its checks and balances- to stop the contagion.

This is American innovation. A country so efficient at war that it can invade a country without needing to leave its own country.

Non American here. So many of us are just sick and tired of Americans and all the bullshit. Yes there are millions of good and decent Americans but some stereotypes exist for a reason. Trump is also a major symptom of the ills of America, not the disease.

So if anti-fascists are Trump’s political enemies, what does that make Trump?

It’s taken years for Australia to ban three types of forever chemicals. But Europe plans to ban thousands of these chemicals to avoid future issues.
Australia has banned 3 ‘forever chemicals’ – but Europe wants to ban all 14,000. This precautionary approach makes clear sense

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.

ICYMI, this excellent 4 minute clip is 🎯💥💯.
Please watch, share, and vote accordingly.
Some mainstream journos are also shining a light on #AtlasNetwork. But many are still too timid, lazy or complicit to highlight the truth behind Dutton's culture wars. #ausvotes #auspol

Bridget McKenzie can’t help but laugh at the proposition of emissions going down under the LNP.
David Speers, “is there anything you would do to bring down emissions in the next 10 years?’
McKenzie “LoL”
It’s going to be even funnier when they lose the election 🤣

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition ‘got it wrong’ with its now-dumped policy to require all federal public servants to return to the office
A promise to cut 41,000 Canberra-based public service jobs through forced redundancies has also been walked back

First stage capitalism lie: more stuff makes life good. ($$)
Second stage capitalism lie: stuff doesn't make you happy, but experiences (travel and events) to make memories will ($$$$)
Reality: a good life comes from surrounding yourself with kind and principled people instead of assholes.

Hegseth's playing a dangerous game of chicken by denying this. Goldberg says he has more texts about this, super sensitive info he voluntarily held back. Or are they going to say he got the info some other way and put him in jail? This is the 'Anything Goes' administration, who knows?

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids.
The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids.
"Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel.
Sigh.
