Why the fuck is Jeffries playing into the narrative that any legal action against Trump’s administration would be political by talking about it as ‘getting even’. Congress has an oversight function; fucking perform it.

Up to $368 billion for AUKUS over three decades. What could we achieve by investing differently in housing, health and climate resilience? My submission helped inform the public inquiry. Its report is out. Read more.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/austral...

Australia’s AUKUS reckoning

Americans just delivered what should be a big warning that Anthony Albanese, Richard Marles and Penny Wong. They all seem to like taking selfies with the Trump Regime counterparts. But here's the thi...

“officials do whatever it takes to avoid answering a question, their tactics include repeatedly answering a question that wasn’t asked, engaging in blatant evasion & misdirection, or taking a question on notice when they actually know the answer but simply don’t want to say it in public.“ #Auspol

Article excerpt 
The Albanese Government has failed on accountability. They promised a great deal on coming to
power, but have not delivered. On the contrary, they've set out making things worse. They have offered little support to whistleblowers. They attempted a full-on assault on our freedom of information laws. Information control and secrecy are default settings in ministerial offices and
across the bureaucracy. As a pièce de resistance they're now trying to "manage", that is stifle,
parliamentary inquiries.
That's the reality under Anthony Albanese.

Unpalatable reality spurs new wave of hasbara. We’ve tried framing all critics of Israel’s actions against Palestinians as antisemitic extremists. Now we’re going to frame basic regard for humanity and social justice as antisemitism. The actions of Israel are never the problem.

Right as US tech stocks are tumbling and the AI bubble looks more and more fragile - that’s when Labor wants to double down on US tech bros, water down protections for creatives, and bet the house on them. Government is meant to protect us, not endanger us.

So, 70% of Musk’s net worth comes from SpaceX gov’t contracts, which he then uses to fund Republican election campaigns? What a nifty how-to guide for “converting” tax dollars into PAC money! As bold as buying Twitter using Saudi funds to manipulate elections with foreign cash. This ouroboros sucks!

"My role is to speak to the community & reflect their concerns". Ms Segal just stated that she believes her role to be the voice of the people to whom she chooses selectively to listen, & to present their opinions under oath as if they were fact. As she did at the Royal Commission. Wow. #Auspol

Plant guy fun day - took a photo of a slice of the garden and then went and looked at which plants were there and annotated the photo - 17 species in one photo - pretty cool I reckon here's the annotated photo and the general shot showing where it is against our driveway.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Big tech will try and tell us the rollout of AI and data centres is inevitable but here’s the proof it’s not. Community opposition to a data centre in Victoria has delayed the project so much it cut the developer’s net revenue by 1/3 and dropped their stock price 40%.

Ms Rinehart seems oblivious to the possibility that she'd be warmly applauded by her entourage for being able to find her own left ear in the dark. They'll never tell her that she has the political insight of a cuttlefish, the appeal of tenacious grout-mould & the morals of a letterbox.

WTF is *wrong* with this woman?! And *why* is she allowed to get away with 'gifting' bits of Australia to foreign govts that engage in genocide of their neighbours?! (Making the suggestion is a display of her might, in my mind - if she wants it done it'll somehow get done.) #auspol #STOPRinehart
