But not to figuring out who’s to blame.
In the US, big money determines who wins the election. In Australia, big money gets to work on those elected.
“Fossil fuel subsidies harm the budget and make climate change worse,” said Rod Campbell, Research Director at The Australia Institute.

We are the shithole nation.
We are the citizens of a rouge, murderous empire.
Our leaders are butchers.

Trump Pedo kit. Price? One democracy.
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert in which a journalist asks Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, " Have you just committed us to a war?" And the PM responds, " No, I've committed us to a (preemptive retaliatory de-escalation action to protect and defend Australians and other citizens in response to a request by our new strategic partner by sending defensive missiles & surveillance equipment to protect the airspace and assist the region with its collective self-defence against reprisal attacks that come as a result of the ongoing operation launched as an anticipatory response to perceived threats by historical allies acting against the established international rule of law who are too powerful for us to in any meaningful way challenge.) There's a very big difference." The words in brackets are arranged in such a way that they completely fill the word WAR written in a huge, hulking, bold khaki font.
A war by any other name.

The brave men of Queensland protecting freedom.
"Finish the job" is a sturdy working-man phrase that completely avoids the horror it entails.
Collective self defence being …?
Here we are: it takes a hero to state the obvious.
"miscalculated" suggests planning and analysis that went wrong.
In reality - this illegal war is the result of a brain fart from a narcissistic, stupid fascist who thought Iran would be like Venezuela.
And nobody around him said no.
Meanwhile, NY Times quaintly pretends Trump is a real president.

The professional editors know what they are doing, and are doing exactly what they want, aware that many readers only take in the headline. It’s an old trick and a good one.
Nuances of language do matter. They influence how people think over time, often subconsciously. Objectivity is hard, but professional editors can do better than this.

Last year: e-cigarette makers donate to Trump's bangin' ballroom.
This year: Trump admin says it'll allow e-cigarette makers to offer more, delicious flavors.

Marco Rubio probably has blisters literally all the time if you need a pick-me-up thought today and I know I do
That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.
Absolute truth
Ask Iran.
These are the images of the Gaza War Cemetery where 140 Australian war graves have been desecrated by the Israeli military including bulldozing graves. Very real concern that Australian soldiers remains have been bulldozed and disturbed.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
And revert to their real name.
Grinning like morning TV presenters.
The cahoots?
Exactly why we voted for Catherine Connolly as our president.
She speaks the truth with integrity, unlike sleeveen career politicians.

And further concerns about how involved we are. A leader only gets this "good dog" treatment from Donald when you are indeed being a very good dog.
oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!
