I think Joyce Carol Oates has managed to be impossible to milkshake duck.
Not because she hasn't said problematic things - she has.
But she has said them in service to no higher goals. She's not trying to take over the government, or start a cult or a movement

I love this so much. Fuck, I love Australia. There are so many things worth hanging on to, and the PM calling up your journo dad and making terrible dad jokes is one of them

Just had some Uber Eats (because I was sick of my own cooking) for what I can only gather were tostidas made by white people; along with cherry pies. None of the food tasted like anything. Is this why so many white people are grumpy genocidal arses? because you eat this unbelievably bland

I had no idea we were doing the same thing but with bikies. Fucken hell. What a fucking shitshow
The Trump regime recruits Proud Boys and Oath-Keepers as ICE thugs.
The Albanese govt engages bikies as enforcers for Australia's secretive offshore detention system.
Both avoid scrutiny and enable corruption.

The govt is spending billions to keep 100 asylum seekers on Nauru, a nation of 12 000 people the size of Tullamarine airport. Reports implicating the Finks bikie gang in those deals are deeply concerning. Public servants have risked their livelihoods to speak out.

I don't understand how Trump wants to deny visas to people with chronic diseases - I mean, the health care system here is unaffordable and if you're just travelling you can only get travel insurance. Or you pay out of pocket. So...how does this work?

good, but please, Aussies, we know this does not work for the ALP
In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.
We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”
