This is a great example of how mainstream journalists continue to normalise Trump. I can’t understate how this practice has contributed to Trump’s political success. STOP PRETENDING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS ACTING LEGITIMATELY! Do your jobs or get out the way and let someone else!

Just to be clear, the Nazis at the dawn service were not booing Anzacs, they were booing the Indigenous Welcome to Country. This booing is directly related to Dutton’s toxic No campaign, which emboldened Nazi-racists to publicly attack Aboriginal people. This is Dutton reaping what he has sown.

CNN Kaitlan Collins takes the bully brunt for asking logical questions while the clown show lies over and over again.

Getting more furious by the second as I listen to Trump spewing incoherent BS and insulting CNN repeatedly. How did we get a toddler in Chief?

Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library? An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

β€œIt was just the prelude… Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people too.”

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

We don’t want or need James David’s thanks. We will continue do quite well without him and his opinions.

It’s a familiar pattern. Half hearted resistance,followed by effective support, and rounded off with tut-tutting and head shaking. All to be repeated again and again.
