ADD YOUR NAME ✍️ We will not be divided after Bondi On Sunday at Bondi we witnessed the appalling consequences of hatred and how it breeds radicalisation and violence. But as the Jewish community and the whole country grieved, some politicians went on ...

Captain Pat Cummins is in rare air. Can his Ashes champions go around again? | Geoff Lemon He’s achieved an Ashes feat that few other captains have. But he’s still missing an outright win in England * Starc breaks England hearts again as Australia retain the Ashes in tense third Test While it took longer than expected on the fifth day in Adelaide, eventually it was done. A series won, the Ashes retained for another year and a half until they next go up for grabs in England. For Pat Cummins, this makes three consecutive Ashes series captained without giving up the urn. The feat leaves him in sparse but fine company: the others to do it are Joe Darling, Don Bradman, Richie Benaud, Mike Brearley, Allan Border and Mark Taylor. It made things neater that Steve Smith missed this third Test, having captained the first two wins in Cummins’ absence, so that it didn’t feel like the full-time captain was swooping in to hoover up the stand-in’s lunch. Those situations can be odd, like Adam Gilchrist filling in to lead what was very much Ricky Ponting’s team, captaining two wins in India in 2004 before Ponting returned from injury after the series was decided. Who gets credit for the win? Continue reading...

Anything that doesn't line up with the MAGA GOP's racism, bigotry, sexism, and homophobia is considered "radical."

Fuck your ignorance and cruelty. We refuse your bullshit, gaslighting labels.

Susssssan Ley and Josh Frydenberg are in a dead heat for political opportunism.

Frydenberg's righteous indignation is symptomatic of nothing more than his latest bid to overcome absolute political and public irrelevance. What a colossal twat. #Auspol

Merz compares Russia‘s aggression against Ukraine to Hitler‘s 1938 annexation of Austria + parts of Czechoslovakia.
Appeasement didn‘t work

Priorities:
- support UA
- keep EU together including UK
- keep NATO going
- bolster defense

German economic recovery precondition for all. (via Kuefner/DW)

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

🙌 🎉 Brexit was sold as taking back control.

Instead, we now face lawsuits from Russian 🇷🇺 oligarchs and coal speculators using secret foreign courts.

If this is sovereignty, then I’m the Queen of Sheba 👸

All Republicans in Congress are faced with a choice. They either stand with Trump, Vance and Putin, or they stand with Ukraine, Europe, most Americans, and the civilized world. Of course, there is also a 3rd option which most of them usually choose - cowardly silence.

Once we finally hear the wonderful news of Traitor Trump's imprisonment or passing, I'm going to do a Substack Live of me partying with our Mouthy Militia until I pass out.

That would be some funny shit. And such a damn relief. We'll party like it's 1999.

In high school, I received a failing grade on a math test because I used Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" instead of a trigonometry table to solve the equations. It was, clearly, a violation of my right to free speech.

WALZ: “.. Donald Trump’s calling our Somali neighbors ‘garbage’ and calling the state of Minnesota a ‘hellhole’. I’m assuming it’s unprecedented for a United States President. .. We’ve got little children going to school today, their president called them ‘garbage’.”

IT'S PATHETIC AND NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT that ANY American could be daft enough to still listen to or believe a word from this decrepit, delinquent, deplorable lying anti-truth, anti-American racist NAZI pig Steve Bannon. But that's true of Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino, Bondi, and ALL DJT SYCOPHANTS!

Canceled DOJ Grants Threaten Bipartisan Work to Support People Released from Prison The cuts undermine public safety and years of bipartisan cooperation on state and federal reentry work.

Republicans and Democrats have long agreed on the need to help people leaving incarceration find jobs and housing so they can contribute to their communities and avoid returning to crime. The Justice Department’s grant cuts now threaten those efforts. bit.ly/3KpuBYb

The FBI Director just claimed he’s here to “defend the institution.” Which...is adorable...considering he defended the people who attacked it.👇
