These tariffs are not unexpected, but they are unwarranted.

Many other countries will be hit harder by today’s decision than Australia - and no nation is better prepared than Australia.

The US Trump administration pauses military aid to Ukraine.

So in Trump renaming fashion, The USA is henceforth named Russian America??

I don't really care what leaders wear as long as they are qualified to do their job.
Maybe some who wear a suit try to blend in but don't make the cut.

Today is hard.
I'm angry, sad, confused and dismayed.
Trump assists a rapist & sex trafficker to escape on a private jet, and then shouts down a war hero. What.

They've given up pretending.

America's credibility is shot.

We must not allow Australia to follow their path.

I'm sure they will, looks like they're just getting started.

Australia was so close to getting an independent regulator to halt projects and employ tougher penalties for environmental law breaches. Until Albo succumbed to pressure from the WA mining industry.

This fed. election the Koala Alliance will be calling for an independent regulator.

Will you?

With the Right on the march & Spud shamelessly invoking Trumpism, great folkloric wisdom from @ruth-mcgowan-oam.bsky.social:

"There are two wolves inside each of us and they are always fighting. One is darkness and despair, the other is light and hope. Which wolf wins?
