Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation.
We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.
i don't think anyone at the time expected reagan tearing solar panels off the white house to spite jimmy carter would be such a significant metaphor for the 21st century
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
can you imagine living in a country where you jail a president that tries to overthrow the government?
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
"The Met Police may want to intimidate us into contributing to the govt's closing off of the right to protest... We will continue to hire space to explicitly nonviolent groups, with appropriate checks in place, just as we always have." – Clerk of Westminster Quakers www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...
Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.
STATEMENT: www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic
We should be taxing the fuckers into the ground.
War profiteering used to be a bad thing…

He's the nephew of the AG in the NT. He got home detention for killing a man with his car on purpose then bragging about it and seriously injuring another man. They were both Aboriginal and it was a hate crime.
If you're going after the Quakers, you probably need to take a good, long, hard look at yourself in the mirror.
Because it's almost guaranteed that you are the problem here.
The trial was over by 22/23. The files were no longer under seal. They could have been released. Recommend watching / listening to the @zeteo.com podcast for more info

Hi, the trial was over by 22/23. The files were no longer under seal. Garland could have released them. He chose not to. Here are some other journalists talk in about it if you care to look at the facts of the matter.

I can’t be arsed with the blowback from a perfectly factual post. Here are @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @mizzwelch.bsky.social talking about it if you care to listen. The trial was over by about 2022/23. They were no longer under seal. Garland could have released them. He chose not to.
“And for him to turn around in the last week and have a crack at David Pocock and Grace Tame, you could not be further departed from the reality of Australians to do that.” – Hannah Ferguson

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.
Who cares what anyone thinks about BlueSky. Of course it’s shit, all the platforms are shit. Unless you’re an investor why would you go into bat for a platform whose managers also seem pretty shit

Holy fuck this is how they report "Senator breaks veteran's arm"
“The royal commission is about both antisemitism and social cohesion, and if there is not going to be an examination of Islamophobia, that is really concerning," he told the ABC.
"Muslim Australians should not feel [like] they have to beg for protection."

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social with a great piece of research about the local right-wing establishment social engineering operation occurring of late.
"Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia"
The sad truth is this piece was likely just another day in the office; file and forget. Nevermind the impact or damage it has on policy or culture
