Haven’t seen it. Should I?

It’s so powerful.

Just watched the movie Nuremberg. This is the strongest political statement I’ve ever seen against Trump’s MAGA white supremacy. Well done to the people brave enough to make this movie.

Predictably, News Corp have ignored teachers’ pleas for them to stop pitting schools against each other by publishing uncontextualised rankings. Since they’ve ignored this, I’m sharing the list of Australia’s most untrusted brands. News Corp number 8 - should be higher! A toxic stain on Australia.

Will it save his seat?

State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship' The order is focused on applicants for H-1B visas, which are frequently used by tech companies and is part of a campaign by the Trump administration against online content moderation.

Trump’s war on reality continues! Facts are Trump’s enemy because facts undermine his lies. Remember, he lies to gain power, not just to confuse.

For those interested in SA politics and the chaos of the Liberal Party more broadly, SA Liberal Leader Vincent Tarzia has resigned, three or so months out from the state election. Good times!

News Corp attacked by school leaders over NAPLAN rankings Forty-one signatories to an open letter say they are "dismayed" and that school rankings cause "harm to our communities".

It’s great to see teachers fighting back against News Corp. Unfortunately though, asking News Corp to act ethically by stopping their offensive and obsessive ranking of schools is like asking News Corp not to exist. The class-based snobbery is the point of News Corp!

Trump’s America being destroyed by its own racism Donald Trump’s return to power isn’t a political revival, it’s the inevitable consequence of a nation consumed by the very racism it refuses to confront.

Trump’s political career has been driven by racism. The Trump movement is destroying America because of racism. Everyone needs to say it every day! Never be scared to call out white supremacist racism. My analysis👇🏻

Everyone who doesn’t stand up to a bully is the bully’s accomplice.

😒

I’ll announce it: the US is no longer a democratic country.

That is also true

White House launches website to excoriate media for ‘biased’ stories Trump administration lists reporting it objects to in latest escalation of attacks on US journalism

We have to keep saying it until everyone is saying it: Trump opposes “the media” because the media has the power to contradict his bullshit.

That’s his face. Nothing the photographer can do to change reality!

Albo the negotiator gets the job done! 👏🏻

The power dynamic between Labor and mining has shifted There has been a shift in the power dynamic between Labor and the mining industry. This week's environmental law reform is its embodiment.

“But the fact the government landed the deal with Sarah Hanson Young — and does not fear the electoral consequences of doing so — points to an erosion in the resource industry's ability to set the political terms.

This is no small thing.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Trump working hard to keep the Epstein files out of the headlines.

Trump is attacking journalists - called one piggy! - because they have the power to correct his lies and critique his behaviour. Journalists should remember how important this power is to democracy and have the courage to keep using it no matter what the deranged bully president says about them.

Sorry to tell you Robert but Americans in their majority have fallen for this for a DECADE

And those MAGA influencers who aren’t Russian based are Russian funded.

Musk sells verifications

Texas influencer based in Russia. Wouldn’t be surprised if most MAGA influencers are Russian based. That’s the state of the manipulated (happy to be manipulated because hate is seductive) world.

Happy (or sad) to announce that BlueSky has used a face recognition platform to confirm that I’m old and don’t need to be banned from here 😆

Liberals and News Corp in lock-step with interests of climate denying billionaires Despite the spin, the Coalition and News Corp remain mouthpieces for billionaire interests bent on stalling climate action and truth alike.

The Liberals and News Corp show through their blatant opposition to climate action that they represent the interests of billionaires, and couldn’t care less if the earth become inhabitable. My analysis👇🏻

How Pacific nations plan to go from spending up to 25% of GDP on fossil fuels to running on 100% renewables Pacific nations spend billions each year importing fossil fuels for electricity. Now the region’s leaders are aiming for energy independence.

(New from us)
‘Now the Pacific is leading the way again. Island leaders have a bold plan to become the world’s first region powered entirely by renewables and energy storage.’ #ClimateCrisis #COP30

MAGA

The Liberal Party have made themselves entirely irrelevant by dropping net zero. Fine by me.

The New York Times have had Epstein’s compromising evidence of Trump’s involvement with “young” girls for a decade. Let that settle in. Predating Trump’s first presidency.
