Ley is pro-renewables but says the building of them has caused energy prices to go up 40% (which is complete bullshit) #abc730

The Glass Cliff in action for all to see. It’s so common a phenomenon how can you be surprised.

Australians are markedly more worried about the US, still wary about China: new poll More than half of respondents in a new survey said they were concerned about US interference in Australia, a jump of nearly 20 points since 2021.

The big issue here is not that Australians are increasingly worried about the US.

But why their government is not. #auspol

Our pathetic politicians have no problem condemning Russia for its actions in Ukraine but you will never hear any condemnation of Israel for their genocide. #auspol Hypocrisy

Senator in 2010 deposition: 13-year-olds can consent to sex U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma testified as part of a civil case into an alleged sexual assault at the Baptist church camp he oversaw that he believed a 13-year-old can consent to sex.

Just throwing this out there for reasons

Loving how commentators are describing it as a battle for the soul of the LNP as though that is a thing that has ever existed.

We’re pleased to support a joint statement spearheaded by Go Gentle, Dying with Dignity NSW & a number of medical, legal & seniors’ rights groups to oppose a bill that seeks to restrict access to voluntary assisted dying in aged-care facilities in NSW: www.gogentleaustralia.org.au/opposition_t...

The Israeli crimes committed in Gaza required new terms & definitions: starvation & famine; domicide; ecocide; deliberate destruction/targeting of the healthcare infrastructure; reprocide; scholasticide; attacks on journalists; torture, sexual violence; politicide.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

This is how a real President is supposed to act

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Zeteo news media infographic showing how much billionaires spent opposing Mamdani's NYC Mayoral election campaign. Michael Bloomberg $8.3m. Joseph Gebbia $3m. Lauder family $2.6m. Bill Ackman $1.75m. Tisch family $1.2m.

Important observation by @zeteo.com's @mehdirhasan.bsky.social. Zohran Mamdani's victory isn't just over Cuomo; it's a victory over the billionaires who spent millions trying to defeat him. #USPolitics #NYCMayoralElection #ZohranMamdani

Buckingham Palace has announced that it is removing all remaining styles, titles and honours of Prince Andrew:

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

He is also being evicted from his accommodation at Royal Lodge.

Correct action, but it should never have taken this long.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Brilliant description 🤣

So so true.

I would love for people to have more access to affordable fruits, veggies and whole foods….

But please remember many disabled people can’t cook or can only minimally cook.

Fed is better than dead and some people need prepackaged food to survive.

Hi @drwaus.bsky.social
Do external links/urls for items in your newsletter exist?
For example, I would like to share your work on #Palantir in Australia more easily.

👇 is what the peddling of misinformation and division is really serving up.

Division of communities, little kids & their parents getting threatened. The LNPs international backers maybe happy with them but I'm not.

Toxic mental food as bad as toxic physical.

Terrible stuff.

“We are seeing a troubling trend of American-style abortion politics being imported into Australia. It’s coming from a small group on the right seeking to politicise a deeply personal issue.”
