So proud of our pollies’ gracious winning/losing speeches this Saturday night -esp Albo shutting down the heckling of the opposition. But most of all so happy to see a disabled single mum winning our opposition leader’s seat. Poetic justice + hard work. Congratulations @alifrance.bsky.social #auspol

I don't care what Khalil said. What matters most here is the state punished him, without charge or trial, for speech. They disappeared him like in the sort of authoritarian country America used to criticize. Anyone adjudicating the content of his speech is missing the point.

This seems about right.
A race see which happens first: hurting so many people including their own voters that there’s a massive public backlash or dismantling democratic institutions to the point they can keep power despite public discontent.

I mean, why would NASA need a chief scientist anyway? Hmmm
NASA is eliminating its chief scientist and other roles as part of efforts by the Trump administration to pare back staff at the agency’s Washington headquarters.
