JUST IN: A California judge rules that Trump's deployment of the guard to LA was illegal
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.
My latest Substack piece on how Trump's fake "emergencies" are his tell when he wants to violate a law or someone's civil rights katiephang.substack.com/p/trumps-end...
Trump's tariffs are basically illegal, federal appeals court rules

"Utilities don’t want to run the risk of building too many power plants or transmission lines. If the AI hype is overblown or the tech industry doesn’t ultimately need as much electricity as projected, other customers would get stuck with the infrastructure costs."

In Australia, a woman is murdered every 4 days, by a man. By contrast, Jewish people killed in so-called* anti-semitic attacks in Australia - zero. Where's our Special Envoy to Combat Male Violence Against Women, @albomp.bsky.social ? *opposing genocide is not anti-semitic.
What did Trump think was going to happen?
Shockwaves in DC, London, EU Brussels, Tokyo and KANberra. When the Dragon (most powerful economy), the Elephant (most populous nation) and the Bear (most powerful nuke force) came together as one. The New World Order has arrived.
California stepping up.

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Thanks for sharing. Such an important analysis. Says so much about the world we live in & how fucked up it is. ..... white western hegemony "we are told to wait for the word of the perpetrators…"

You've got 97 seconds to summarize the labor econ literature on how to obtain causal estimates of the returns to education. Go.
How bad does property price growth have to get before Labor reverses the special capital gains tax concession that John Howard introduced to such damaging effect? Chris Wallace on Labor’s expanded housing policy. satpa.pe/JQvsalM
John Howard weaponised the class, wealth and race division in Australia not migrants or refugees.
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

Why is it that media opinion is peaceful Pro Palestine protests are divisive and ultimately pointless, but violent racist rallies (of fewer people means "these people need to be heard"?
No shortage of police at the anti-immigrant, racist, Nazi rally in Naarm/Melbourne yesterday Yet the Nazis managed to attack peaceful Camp Sovereignty (at so-called King's Domain) & has anyone heard from Special Envoy Segal about actual Nazis in our streets❓

Apart from Indigenous Australians aren't we all descended from immigrants?
This is downright disgusting Australian Labor
Scientists breathe new life into #climate website after shutdown under Trump death cult. Climate.gov, which went dark this summer, to be revived by volunteers as climate.us with expanded mission. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Nazi politicians march with other Nazis and Nazi rallies across Australia. Fixed it for you @lenoret.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
If Sewell was there as the ABC claims, then the police must arrest him and charge him and every other fvkn Nazi identified. The powers to be are letting the pricks get away with this shit. If it was anyone else they'd be in the can and denied bail. 😡 #ProtectedNazis
Twitter post, but the attached Tiktok video shows the indigenous protest being stormed by white nationalists. Including clearly identifiable people. x.com/Dazzaat/stat...
An aside: journalism exists in an attention economy where demand drives editorial decision making. If you find something you enjoyed, learned from and that moved you, share and share widely -- even four days late. I, and others, don't get to keep doing this stuff if no one reads it.
The Trump plan for Gaza includes genocide.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
🚗💡 Japan’s Tiny EV Revolution Is Here! KG Motors is turning heads with its ultra-compact mibot — a sleek, single-seat electric vehicle priced at just $7,000! With 3,300 units already pre-sold and deliveries expected by March 2027, it’s already outpacing Toyota’s 2024 EV sales in Japan. 62 Miles 🇯🇵⚡
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Bob Katter has retreated from Brisbane to Townsville where he minced quotes from Thomas Jefferson & William Wallace under the Eureka flag. KAP Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto to his right. Whatever happens next, the party has now publicly aligned itself with Nazis. #qldpol
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥
it's time to get the UN Headquarters out of the USA.
Not understanding the Australian landscape I found myself reading about the march on News Corp and it was SO overtly pro the march while calling counter protests “radical leftists”. Insane how many versions of Goebbles exist today
Before the right wing "March for Australia" rallies even began News Corp was declaring them "huge." Meanwhile, I remember them endlessly downplaying the actually huge March for Gaza.
📌
Get out the door, #Melbourne #Naarm The #Palestine justice rally is 11am this week not 12. This one includes support for First Peoples generally and for an inclusive Australia. Rejecting the drongos marching with Nazis today. #Auspol #Gaza
Just saying.
Unfortunately Australia's horrible treatment of asylum seekers, detaining & exporting them to 3rd countries has been copied by the UK & the US. Not something Australia should be proud of.
No price too great for our punitive treatment of asylum seekers. Only the finest covert cruelty from us. #insiders

Genius idea...... #izitreal
Recent successful indies have high local profile, often from previous local experience eg local Govt, business, activism, etc. Also community independents have been chosen by groups of people who have come together to specifically change their political representation. Groups first then candidates
Thing is, China is happy to sell solar panels to anyone in the world, for quite low margins, and at a lifetime net price that is vastly less than that of fossil fuels. They could power the world and capture less value than a single middleweight petrostate.
Donald will lose his shit if you repost this.
It is a record of shame. It should be documented and never forgotten, lest we repeat history.
Here's a brief snip from a friendly chat I had with a mining lobbyist in parliament house 😁 (they really shouldn't just give these lobbying passes to just anyone you know 😂 )
"January 6 survivor and former MPD Officer Michael Fanone launches a campaign demanding that federal officers remove their masks, advocating for transparency." Check out our new D.C. campaign demanding federal agents take off their mask! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social www.wusa9.com/article/news...

US Trump regime is unofficially conducting clandestine influence operations across multiple allied countries including in the EU in particular the UK & France, however, Canada and Mexico face the highest threat level right now. The Trump regime ops are seemingly running in parallel with Russian ops.

'We' don't use it in Australia either, and the far-right is more than happy to adopt it: an easy win.

Katrina’s legacy persists, emphasising hard truths and fears Trump White House failing to learn from past disasters.
Gerry Harvey was just asked if workers sould benefit from productivity gains by moving towards a four-day week. His response: — “No, no, no they need an eight-day week to lift productivity”. A reminder: Australians work some of the longest hours in the OECD.
One of our crackhead politicians in Aus got angry and denied his Lebanese heritage. Apparently a Lebanese kebab shop has renamed their halal snack pack "the Katter Platter" 😂
I talked to Ellen Fanning about the anti-migration marches this Sunday. Segment starts from 1.36.10. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
for 20 years we in australia talked endlessly about ‘The Boats’ which all kicked off from Howard’s Tampa incident. Now the UK far-right is replicating that stupidity and trump embraces the darkest histories of the US and uses a similar playbook. We should abhour it everywhere, including here.
QLD LNP treating Queenslanders as mugs 😡 The Crisafulli government has handed Newman-era LNP deputy premier Jeff Seeney a second board job at a government-owned corporation, as part of a significant overhaul of state water suppliers Sunwater and Seqwater.

49 politicians from outside the ACT have declared owning second residences in Canberra and nearby Queanbeyan. Incredibly, they are entitled to a travel allowance of $318 for every night they stay in their own home on parliamentary business.

Yet MAGA propaganda insists Trump is “protecting” you, while branding dissenters as supporting criminals. That’s a fake choice built on fear, not fact.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
G'day America. Ya know how Fox News, Washington Post etc are all kow-towing to Trump, well those journalists - every single one of them has given up actual journalism now. Real journalists, as the late (Australian) journalist John Pilger said ... "Real journalists are agents of people"
While their views may seem outlandish, the reality is that sovereign citizens have become an influential faction of Australia’s far right.
