2 frames. Both identical showing Trump at his desk with US flag behind and McDonalds drink cup, Sharpie, document and sign saying King Donald. Caption 1: “FIRE ALL THE PEOPLE DOING THE JOBS I DON’T LIKE!” Caption 2: “…INCLUDING THE PEOPLE WHOSE JOB IT IS TO COUNT UP ALL THE PEOPLE I’VE FIRED.

You’re fired!

The Trump-Kennedy Anti-vax Cult is not just killing Americans now.
They are ensuring the death and destruction they are sowing spreads around the world, and lasts at least a generation. #PublicHealth

Extremists and antisemites.

As Israel flagrantly pursues its #GazaGenocide, the Albanese government faffs around:

- telling us it's not yet the right time to recognize Palestine, and
- no need to #SanctionIsraelNow.

Clearly in contention for the Moral Cowardice Award 2025. #auspol

Calling for a "dramatic increase in aid to Gaza"
without calling for a dramatic decrease in the US weapons to Israel that enable the #GazaGenocide
is just flagrant hypocrisy.

Albo's Palestine delay an act of moral cowardice The Albanese Government’s failure to move to follow the lead of the UK, Canada and France in recognising the state of Palestine smacks of cowardice.

"despite Israel’s genocide in Gaza how many sanctions have been imposed on Israelis involved in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza? A handful." @barnsgreg.bsky.social

No excuse for delaying Palestine statehood recognition.
Time to #SanctionIsraelNow.

"a lot of people" = me.

He never, ever talks about how "unfair" things have been for Epstein's victims.

#PedoFiles

After Israel's crimes against humanity are finally and universally recognized,
even by the genocide-apologist media,
there will be a special place in hell reserved for reporters and editors who used the passive voice. #GazaGenocide

I see she has crosses in the background, ready for burning.

In 2023, Trump Reposted a Claim That He Started a "War Against Pedophilia" Now he's covering up the Epstein files and cutting a deal with child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell

"the push to dismantle and discredit government institutions in the second Trump presidency is much more overt." @latingle.bsky.social

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - tell us again about those 'shared values'? #TrumpTyranny #auspol

The Trump regime will be remembered for many things:
including the ability to deliver several terrible policy outcomes as a package.

In this case:
- destroying the renewables industry
- undermining efforts to address the #ClimateCrisis, and
- increasing #inequality.

"it is enraging that it is a late-night host speaking with clarity rather than editorial boards, cable news anchors or politicians ...
when comedians become the most vocal truth-tellers, it’s possible your country has become a joke." #GazaGenocide

Great that more than 2,300 Writers Guild of America members have blasted “escalating attacks on independent media by the Trump Administration”.

A pity that so much "independent' media has already capitulated to the king.

Not "war".
Not "conflict"
It's the deliberate, systematic destruction of the means to sustain life. #GazaGenocide #StopIsrael

The great dismantling

This is the year we transition from government authorities & polluters saying, 'climate change isn't a problem' to 'Christ what a shit show. Sorry about your uninsurable home, terrified children & blocked escape routes. Why don't you have a crack at "adapting"?'

Labor's shifting views on Gaza leave a trail of mixed messages and abandoned tactics As the evidence of genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank has grown, Labor has had to adjust its position or risk being left behind by allies and the electorate.

On the #GazaGenocide, the Albanese govt is "being reluctantly dragged to dealing with atrocities that it would prefer everyone stop complaining about."

Our political 'leaders' have shown close to zero humanity, morality, or regard for international law. #auspol

It might also help if we disassociate pragmatism from centrism.

It's not at all pragmatic to stick doggedly to a status quo that is, for instance, steadily increasing inequality while destroying the planet. #CentrismSucks

From Wong, cheap political theatre and Grade A hypocrisy.

Her 'warning' repeats the words of so many Palestinians and supporters going back years.

But:
- no acknowledgement that she's so late
- no recognition that a genocide is underway, and
- no action to #SanctionIsraelNow. #auspol

First Nations group launches bid to halt Olympic stadium plan An application to prevent the development of a 63,000-seat Olympic stadium at Brisbane's Victoria Park has been lodged with the federal government.

Here we go Australia, it's on.

The Yagara Magandjin people are first to lodge legal action against the Crisafulli Colosseum of David Fully-Costed & Lord Pocketsquare.

The government & the Olympics hierarchy were well & truly warned. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

If Burke "is in the business of stopping hatred from being imported to Australia", why is he enabling the Zionist lobby?

Is Winter just stubborn, or stupid?

Labor's vote went down at the recent election.
His behaviour will just mean a further decline next time.

'Basic maths': Greens say Winter has to negotiate if he wants to be premier With 10 seats, Labor's Dean Winter is still vying for power, but continues refusing discussions with the Greens. Meanwhile, Liberal Leader Jeremy Rockliff says he's about to formally ask the governor ...

Labor’s position is beyond childish. Not to mention undemocratic. GTFU
