Have a pulse, take a stand for something meaningful for once...

The shitty politicians are only trying to appease their voters who buy into conspiracy theories instead of using their power to call out the lies.

Thank you AOC for being a decent human being, which seems to be a rarity in DC.

I think this great article sums up pretty well how America has gone down the gurgler. I'm Australian and look on in horror at what happened at the last election. And it's a global issue. I'm Australian and I'm horrified at the impacts this may have here.

Orbán dismantled Hungary's democracy: silencing media, rigging elections, taking over courts, attacking pro-democracy non-profits, stoking fear of immigrants, crushing academic freedom, and enriching cronies.

Sound familiar?

It's a chilling playbook — and Trump took notes.
It happened there: how democracy died in Hungary
A new kind of authoritarianism is taking root in Europe — and there are warning signs for America.

AUTUMN BECKONS

I rather wish we were going into autumn as I live in a bushfire area that is experiencing a drought.

Let me state this is bluntly as I can, as a biographer of both Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Vladimir Putin is now inside the U.S. government, with visibility into absolutely everything. He has that access through Trump, Musk, and David Sacks.

We are fully infiltrated. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...

He’s on the patio. He’s on the golf course. Everywhere Donald Trump looks, there is the world’s richest man.

I'm looking for Australians who are politically left centrist who are aghast at PM Albanese's total lack of leadership and fawning to Trump.

I'm so dillilusioned about America's apparent acceptance of the election outcome. When it appears that Russia may have been involved in the election, AGAIN, is a horrifying thought. Are the Dems investigating the claims?

My first post on Bluesky!
I'm an artist so like to post art that keeps me sane. I'm a Australian who was deeply affected by the US election outcome, though I don't believe tRump won. I'm hoping the Dems can prove he cheated.
