The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

1/ BREAKING: Trump and ICE have unilaterally rewritten federal law and the Constitution to declare that all undocumented migrants are now ineligible for bond, and will be detained for the duration of their court proceedings.

In short, they just went full Nazi.

Your rights are being eroded so Israel can commit genocide without criticism  - The Shot
Across the Western world, criticising Israel's genocide in Palestine is being stamped down. News laws and a culture of fear make it hard.

Senator, welcome to Bluesky.

Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space?

Thanks.

The #crossbench has just as much right to be part of a #government as anyone else

We demand that #independents tell us who they would support in advance because we are trapped in a two-party mindset

Change things up and support #CommunityIndependents

Honest politics demands that the independents not give their support to either Labor or the LNP before the election
All negotiation should be done on the floor of the parliament, not stitched up in advance

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This isn't an exaggeration. Before Cockpit Resource Management became a thing, captains who acted like, and were deferentially treated like macho gods of the skies did things like let their planes run out of fuel or fly straight into the ground, and the other officers were too scared to stop them.
the "DEI pilots" thing is not only untrue, but the opposite of true. The piloting profession in the late 20th century was so dominated by one Guy Type that they had to invent a new kind of training that forced pilots to listen to their first officers so they would stop flying planes into the ground
