I leave him off my ballot completely every time I vote. It's quite satisfying, giving a boost to whoever is after him on the ticket.

I hope it's ok to drop this here Walker. Thought you might find it interesting. Here in Australia we are really under increasing pressure from the international hard right.

I think this too. It's just where the evidence is leading me. It's a global billionaire project unfolding before us. Hard to believe, but here we are. I hope we resist it in Australia.

I think you need to understand the billionaire network that is driving all of this and using MAGA idiots to win elections that empower them to crush democracy and human rights. They want to thin the global population, control food and other necessities, and institute neofeudalism. They're doing it.

Yes, very sadly it looks like we will be facing this all over and at increasing rates.

Ocean heat was off the charts, and Australia bore the brunt

For the past year, Australia's oceans have been hotter than ever before. The impacts are being felt all across the nation — as far away from the coast as you can get.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 7d

John Archer was the first Black man to hold senior public office in London when he was elected Mayor of Battersea in 1913.

Black History Month is about rediscovering our history, the stories of Londoners like John Archer and paying tribute to those who came before us.

This beautifully presented article made me feel a bit teary. Our world's waters are in trouble.

The sea is sick and has entered uncharted waters

The disastrous algal bloom that has been, for at least six months, lapping at South Australia's shores has turned a coastline into a frontline, and has left many swimmers, surfers and seaside business...

Interesting how SA Labor (right) treasurer is praised in the Telegraph as "Labor's saviour". Perhaps more truthfully Murdoch is hoping Labor could be his new lapdog because the Liberals are a mess & no use to him currently.

How do you block someone back please..? I'd like the option.

Woke up today to see Joe Hildebrand (of the Daily Telegraph) labelling Tom Koutsantonis as Labor's 'saviour' for being pro-business, "not beholden to extreme climate ideology", "devoutly religious and conservative", and very, very anti-woke. The SA Labor is having a week, isnt it.

I just can't understand it. It was so easy to switch to Bluesky.

Reminds me of our South Australian fritz and sauce sandwich, staple of the school lunchbox. Never had it with capsicum though 🤔

Flimmy @cardine.bsky.social · 10d

This is all very worrying. Here in SA Labor treasurer Tom Koutsantonis said he's worried about the "woke agenda". We will certainly have a lot to undo in Australia if we can't reel this race to the bottom in 😳

I'm not feeling very well lately but this, and a couple other local things, has me thinking I should really try to volunteer for the Greens this coming election. I'm finding politics, world over, very grim and pretty hard to bear.

Flimmy @cardine.bsky.social · 11d

As a South Australian, I think our state government was slack for months on the bloom. I've got many issues with this state government, I'm sad and worried to say.

Went looking for the interview but only saw a snippet which said Tom K is "anti abortion". I'm worried for our state election next year, if this is the "left" choice of the gov forming parties. We are in a horrifying race to the bottom 😩

My two sons don't want this from Labor, Tom! And they vote!

Labor MP Tom Koutsantonis, South Australia's new treasurer, has told The Australian he is "very worried about that type of woke agenda"

"Young men used to make up a big cohort of Labor voters...a lot feel as if they have no voice representing them from any party," he said

Reminds me about Trump being famously angry that New York 'society' apparently rejected him.
