Is it too late for me to take up Karuta? Probably.

Just listened to PM Carney 🇨🇦 speech.
Please listen
A great pity this new role between our PMs and countries isn’t broadcast more widely
Australians would like this I feel

The journalist was persistent which was refreshing.

No. Peter Thiel cannot be allowed to annex the National Science Foundation via this Palantir proxy.

It would be like putting a pyromaniac in charge of the Library of Alexandria: destruction of a global treasure with no "undo" button.

This is a "to the barricades" moment.

Sounds like the Iranian women’s soccer team should be given asylum.

Israeli ambassador sounds like he’s lying through his teeth #Auspol. #Abc

Albo has clarified that the three Australians onboard the US submarine that torpedoed the Iranian ship were in the loo at the time which is a well-recognised defence under international law to the charge of waging aggressive war

This is a classic of the cynicism of Atlas Network partner operatives’ thinking.
They say that all spending must stop. Except for torrents for their industries, including weapons. 🙄
When one doesn’t believe government is good for anything but removing obstacles to the donors’ power and profit ⬇️

Text reading: International Women’s Day: Spotlight on Sophie Cusworth. And a photo of Sophie, a woman with brown hair smiling, wearing a black blazer and brown shirt.

Text reading: “I was really motivated by social justice, by what I felt was right and ethical, and really saw myself becoming a lawyer and an advocate, particularly working in the human rights space because of that…understanding the intersections of feminist theory and gender and law really stood out to me.” Sophie Cusworth.

Text reading: “I work at a member-based organisation, and the ability to go into a public forum or a government meeting and to say, ‘this is what our community is talking about. These are the various concerns around our community’ is really rewarding. And I think being able to see changes, when you do see those changes, it's incredibly exciting.” Sophie Cusworth.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

11 Incredibly Disturbing And Dystopian Moments From Republicans' Latest Conference I need to know why Elon was waving a chainsaw.

Reminder: in a fortnight, far right Steve Baxter (Shark Tank investor) is sending 20 Aussie “kids” to US CPAC to “invest” in culture wars. (Reporting from last year.) He is also “investing” in foreign content creators to trickle back into our thought space. #Auspol

Survivor's 'disbelief' her childhood abuser misled Australian Story A "plucky pensioner" from a cancelled Australian Story episode is a convicted child sex offender who has failed to pay his victim more than $385,000 in civil damages.

Let the words of a CSA survivor sink in :

"I remember as a kid just wanting to die,"

"I felt dirty and ashamed and like I was different from the other kids."

That feeling remains - it stays hidden in the psyche forever ‼️

Labor MP joins calls for Islamophobia to be added to royal commission Labor backbencher Ed Husic has urged for Islamophobia to be examined in the Bondi

Hats off to Ed for standing up against this Zionist government,

I would like to see indigenous peoples addressed with that same respect ✊

Single frame. PM Albo and Penny Wong in Albo’s office sitting at coffee table, looking exhausted, Albo holding a beer. Portrait of John Howard on wall. Albo’s desk and shelves behind showing photo of him with Trump, football, rabbit, plaque saying “Social Cohesion”. Albo says, “Remember Saddam’s WMDs?” Wong says, “Good times.”

Déjà vu.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

This is the guy Trump wants to replace Kristi Noem.

A loyalist who tried to physically fight someone in the Senate.

US citizens have been killed by ICE/CBP.

A record number of immigrants have died in custody.

This man will only make things worse.

Online harassment is entering its AI era When Scott Shambaugh denied an agent’s request, things got weird.

Love that we now have AI agents running harassment campaigns.

Wow this is good
