Same name on the Bird site. Seeking better than that place. Nature and animal lover. Gardener. Political junkie because fascism needs to be held at the outer marker and would like to be able to hand our kids a liveable planet. Australian.
It’s taken a couple of days to absorb it all… but have to say that seeing Duddo get tossed by a disabled woman, who is a former journo (shout out to the ‘hate media’), & who just kept tenaciously going until she got him is probably the sweetest moment of any election, ever.
Bravo Dickson!

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Trump sat silently while President Musk held court in the Oval Office, looking annoyed as Musk’s kid picked his nose. Meanwhile, Musk’s allies push judicial impeachments, Trump is furious at low deportation numbers, and Trump's Gaza plan hits roadblocks👇
