An Australian with a keen interest in democracy, both in Australia and throughout the world. Also the "mother" of an extremely destructive, extremely lovable two year old rescue dog (Frankie)!

I don't suppose that they could have been in awe of you ...

Or were brought up not to bother strangers whilst they were eating their breakfast?

An almost full moon rising up into a blue night sky, the silhouette of mountains and trees in front of it.

to fly in the aura of sun

the brightest golden orb of sun, the whole sky its radiant aura, shimmers a path through the rippling estuary waters behind a textile screen of reeds while embraced in it all two birds fly in tandem

Autumn sunrise in the park. This was taken the day after some fresh snow covered the peaks.

There’s something magical about walking through an Aspen forest during autumn.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

Tweet from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick quoting Laura N. Rodríguez Presa.
Aaron’s comment: “DHS is an escalation spiral; the more they do things like this, the more people on the ground push back... and I'm deeply worried what the ultimate result will be.”
Laura’s tweet reads: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them... Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents ICE activity, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.”
Attached photo shows a federal agent inside a vehicle pointing a rifle out of the driver’s side window.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I agree with Donald Trump:

Trump is not the right leader for his moment.

Graphic where Senator Warren says: In 2013, Trump himself said, about a potential government shutdown, quote:

Then, a Donald Trump quote: “if there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together.”

Senator Warren says: Donald Trump today should take a hint from Donald Trump yesterday.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.
