I wonder if Albanese strategically waited for Trump to be sworn in before calling an election? If so... it was genius.
One of the most challenging aspects of the historical moment we've found ourselves in is somehow understanding the psychology of any person who looks at Trump and fails to immediately see the objectionable character that most of the world cannot look past. (Excerpt from Stephen Kotkin)
There is absolutely no doubt whose side this administration is on... and it's not ours.
Hmm... I wonder if there's a reason these specific nations spend so much more on their military... ...probably nothing.
Trump just announced that two million Palestinians will be forcibly removed from Gaza, and added: "The U.S. will take over the Gaza strip ... create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area." ...it's about money. His money.
Let's unpack 30years of Australian Government policy to understand how we got here...
Logged onto my alt Rugby Twitter profile, one that I kept exclusively for Rugby content. It was my retreat from politics, and unfortunately most Rugby accounts aren't here yet. This was the first post on my feed... a paid ad no less. Fuck I hate Musk so much.
Can't see any issues with the Chinese Government controlling an AI model...
Just so we're clear, there's infinitely more evidence that Musk is a Nazi than anyone in the Ukrainian Government.
The Australian Government spent a total of $550million to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the First World War. Spending $450,000 to celebrate 60,000 years of history is not a big price to pay.
Whatever your thoughts on Labor's joke, if you use your wife as a political crutch for an orchestrated PR campaign, you can't then recoil in horror when that same PR campaign becomes a point of attack for your political opponents.
Let us never forget that when the Syrian people fled a hell on Earth that most of us couldn't concoct in our worst nightmares... their desperation became political capital. The most desperate people in the World were made into a fear campaign...
This is Syrian pro-democracy activist Mazen al-Hamada speaking after he escaped Syria in 2012. In 2020, he was tricked into believing it was safe for him to return home so he could visit his family. His tortured body has just been found in the infamous Sednaya Prison.
As if to prove my point... the first 4 qoute tweets on this post on X. I've been happier since I've left.
I am begging journalists, do not use "some X users" as any indication of public sentiment. What was once "Twitter" is now nothing more than a cesspool of emboldened right-wing trolls that most reasonable people have largely abandoned.
This is what defiance looks like. A Georgian Woman, blasted with a water cannon as temperatures near zero, embraces the discomfort and turns to face her oppressor. These seemingly meaningless moments often have the ability galvanise a nation...
The bible explicitly forbids bestiality 3 times, with the punishment being death. It doesn't mention rape of paedophilia once. Which means the bible offers greater protection to livestock than it does to Women and Children.
The fact that Trump abused his pardon power just like this doesn't make it OK, it demonstrates why it's immoral.
Trump has just announced Kash Patel as his new FBI Director. The below is a direct quote from him. I don't think I need to explain to you why this is a bad thing.
News Corp love to tell us how much they despise "elitist" celebrities expressing their political opinions... until those opinions align with theirs.
The similarities between MAGA and China's Cultural Revolution is hard to ignore. Fanatical disciples behind an aging leader, purging the Party of anyone who denies his infallibility, only those loyal to the movement remain. Hopefully the similarities don't continue...
