West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Incredible summary. Read it!

“The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy”

“I feel there’s great potential in building a new politics [where] political power and local resources are returned to communities”
Why is Keir Starmer's government adopting policies that look perfectly designed to prevent its re-election? This column seeks to unravel the mystery and explain the fundamental forces that now govern our politics. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Peter Marks exposed the truth: RFK Jr. demands “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” The GOP Senate confirmed him anyway—installing a conspiracy theorist as health secretary.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

It should be obvious by now that Netanyahu won't stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza (and perhaps the West Bank) has been murdered, maimed or expelled. He wants it all. Governments like ours should cut off all military equipment, diplomatic support and other relations until the genocide ends.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico.
Torquemadas the lot of them.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

You can buy politicians. You can buy the government. You can buy justice. You can even buy goodwill.
Such things should not have been possible in ideal capitalism and meritocracy.
This system is rigged 100% in favor or the rich and powerful.
It's not capitalism anymore. It's oligarchy.

Santos has been fined just $10,000 for a huge oil spill off the coast of WA.

That's less than the average Australian household paid for groceries last year.

Zuckerberg: Fact-checkers have been really biased in favor of facts, which is, like, totally unfair to liars, conspiracy theorists, and propagandists. Purveyors of disinformation worked hard to undermine trust in fact-checkers and the very idea of shared factual reality, and we have to respect that.
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces

He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."

This is what late stage climate denial looks like… Blaming the bureaucracy & the need for more modelling for kicking our 2035 targets into the long grass.

The science says stop approving new gas & coal & stop subsidising fossil fuels. Its not complicated

The major parties don’t want a duty of care on climate because it would mean they’d have to put Australians & our futures ahead of the fossil fuel industry - an industry that is putting short term profits ahead of people & our future.

Let’s change that this election👇
