Could Australian mainstream news media please correctly report the USA as a failed state under a megalomaniacal wannabe fascist dictator, supported by fawning sycophants, complicit in both incompetence and numerous human rights abuses. Terrifying to read and watch what Trump is doing. 😔 #USPolitics

Stylized illustration of a statue of Sleeping Beauty. It is made of white marble and surrounded by yellow roses and tall trees. There's swords sticking out of the ground in front of the statue and a big half moon hangs in the sky behind it.

In Praise of Kim Leadbeater

Regardless of how today's vote goes, she has shown us a politics of compromise, compassion and decency. We should treat it as proof of concept for a better kind of politics.

The Dodgers announce they are donating $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region, with more announcements to come.
LOS ANGELES - In partnership with the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Dodgers have committed $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region. The Dodgers and the City of Los Angeles have a proven ability to get financial resources to those in critical need, most recently seen in their efforts to aid victims of the January wildfires. Through our support of the city's efforts, the Dodgers will encourage those organizations in a similar position to use their resources to directly support the families and workers who have suffered economic hardship. In the coming days, the Dodgers intend to make additional announcements with local community and labor organizations, including the California Community Foundation, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and others who are directly supporting our communities to aid youth and families with food insecurity, basic essentials and mental health services. "What's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected," said Stan Kasten, President & CEO, Los Angeles Dodgers. "We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles." with food insecurity, basic essentials and mental health services.

My message to all Angelenos is clear: We will stick together during this time and we will not turn our backs on one another — that's what makes this the greatest city in the world."
