Living on the unceded lands of the Ngunnawal / Ngambri first nations peoples, now known as Canberra. Love my politics and my footy (aka Carlton FC) and my music. Please do not post requests for donations for families in Gaza in my timeline.

It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

After the Ethics Committee released its brutal report on Chuck Edwards on Monday, his campaign said the findings “exonerated” him, which was ridiculous. This morning, at 3:32 am, he dropped his re-election bid, but said he’s not resigning. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

“After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to withdraw from my re-election campaign,” the congressman said. “I will complete my current term.”

Besides being Canberra icons, it’s a lot harder to destroy these than the heritage 1930s wooden bus shelters like the one on Schlich St, Yarralumla that mysteriously burned down in 1993 just after someone built a huge house opposite it whose lake views it obstructed 👀 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

'Icon of our history': Canberra bus shelters added to heritage register

Canberra's bus shelters were described as "concrete monstrosities" when installed in 1975 but have since been noted for their brutalist architectural style and functionality.

It's really sad, but dolphin mothers will carry the body of one of their calfs if it dies basically to the point where (and this is graphic) the body disintegrates. Truly a mother's love.
