The Cure for the Male Loneliness Epidemic in America is Not Raising Them MAGA Lately, I’ve been reading and hearing a great deal about a supposed “Male Loneliness Epidemic in America.”

The entire MAGA movement is rooted in toxic masculinity; perpetuating emotionally-fetal, alpha male posturing; a culture of relentless aggression that rewards the crass, coronates cruelty, and celebrates sexism.

"Male loneliness" is all but guaranteed.

AFP Deputy Commissioner National Security Krissy Barrett: statement on Operation Kissinger | Australian Federal Police This is the first time the AFP has publicly provided details about Operation Kissinger, which is an investigation into those responsible for a caravan found with explosives and antisemitic material in...

Crucial news today, with the AFP revealing that a sizable portion of the genuinely scary antisemitic shit going down is… deliberate scaremongering by organised crime, diverting police resources, trying to secure deals with the cops, and shifting blame and attention.

Barnaby Joyce and others say you can’t recycle wind turbines.

Well - these surfboards are made from recycled wind blades from Victoria.

More than 85% of what is in a wind turbine can be recycled.

So let’s just get on with delivering cleaner, cheaper electricity.

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

As Ceasefire Nears, Jared Kushner’s New Investments Could Boost Israeli Settlements Just before the Israel-Hamas war ceasefire deal, Donald Trump’s son-in-law doubled his stake in an Israeli firm that stands to gain from expanding Israeli settlements.

PSA: If you’re discussing Trump’s comments treating Gaza as a real estate property Palestinians should be evicted from so he can “develop” it without discussing this 👇🏽you’re leaving out a big part of the story.

The last thing I'll say is if you're outside of the US—
Look at what's happening as a lesson to take your country/local politics and elections seriously.
The political trends in other countries around the globe are growing more right-wing and are not so far behind what's happening here in the US.

Dutton steals Albanese oxygen, even in a week of good news The government keeps campaigning in traditional mode: policy and infrastructure announcements and leaving the 'values' discussion to the Coalition

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...
Dutton steals oxygen because journalists from the abc , Murdoch , Stokes and many others control the media narrative and enable Dutton . Shame on the lot of you .

Bishop Asks Trump to ‘Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children
The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that traditionally has not been political.

If you've ever wondered how you would have reacted in 1930s Germany, it's pretty much how you are reacting right now.

Bishop Budde shows the way.

Dutton can't dodge the spotlight — or his unresolved problems The Coalition seems to be relying on the disgruntlement of voters with the government over tough times, rather than actively producing serious policies to do anything about it.

Withering analysis of Dutton’s performance by Laura Tingle. We need so much more of this in an election year. Her colleagues at the ABC should take note. #election2025
