  Headline: "Australian politicians say they are paying thousands for their own security upgrades amid rising threats" We need to do something about these hate platforms: Murdoch's press (Foxnews, the Australian, etc), Zuckerberg's Meta and Muck's Twitter. If they are not checked soon, Australia can become another Myanmar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide) 🙁 #australia #facebook #murdoch #meta #musk #Zuckerberg

  Americans can do hours and hours of analysis of why is #Trump helping Russia, without ever accepting the fact: Trump is a Russian asset. Here is another example, coming out from The Atlantic. https://pca.st/episode/c99cb714-5209-469f-983d-c3cdefa8437d #RussianAsset

  So this Vox Media podcast asks "Can Trump deport Ilhan Omar?" Without even listening to the podcast, the answer is obviously yes, legal or not. #Legality has never been a concern of Trump. #SCOTUS already granted him immunity. If the deportation happens, she can try to appeal. Like clockwork, SCOTUS will take Trump's side and Americans will continue to enable Trump. 🙄 Trump hates coloured woman. He will do anything to break them. https://pca.st/episode/94cf544c-6f0...

  It is pretty clear that #Trump has won the #midterms and secured his 3rd term as #POTUS. This is his #playbook: 1. His #DOJ will disrupt any election that he wants to rig. It is already set in motion. 2. DOJ will use midterms to test their tactics to influence the election outcome: lawsuits, confiscation of paper ballots and mail-in ballots in the name of fraud, arrests of political opponents (#Ilhan #Omar will be likely Trump's first target) /1

  Murdoch's editors decided to frame the Helen Haines attack as a mental health story, and shifted the blame on her because she has been warned "repeatedly". WTF?! You can expect all major news outlet in Australia sing the same tune today, and throw their support on One Nation early in case a by-election will be called. #australia #independentMP #murdochGutterMedia #MurdochLiesPeopleDie #HelenHaines #billionaire

  I am so over David Speers. :eyeroll: He wanted to talk about how to tackle "grievance politics". Guess who did he invite? Mathias Cormann, a Don of the Liberal Party. Liberal Party is famous for being misogynistic against female politicians and makes white grievance their cornerstone policy. Their behaviour normalises One Nation's rhetorics all these years. What a choice. #davidspeers #MathiasCormann #liberalPartyAustralia #LNP #australia #onenation https://ww...

  An interesting essay: the author writes about the Tang dynasty and its incredible social and cultural sophistication, and also to connect her Chinese past with her child. Form it I learn about a scripture called The Analects for Girls. There is no entry about it in Wikipedia. https://pca.st/episode/1e6b145b-16e1-4e67-b42c-04a56c83ed87 #history #china #longread #tang

  @anttipeltola@mastodon.world Creating a successful Facebook replacement has little to do with underlying technology or university education system. Success depends far more on access to deep, liquid capital markets and a large domestic market that can serve as a launching pad for international growth.

  There was a time when at least some Americans thought the January 6 riot was wrong and made an effort to find the offenders. Today, they stutter if you ask them whether the 2020 election was rigged or not. 🤷‍♂️ #ThisIsAmerica #throwback #January6Riot

  "The Far Right Could Win France Soon One year, in one year France will elect its next President and things are getting incredibly tense. The left is fragmented between a socialist anti-racism front and a social-democrat universalist front. The far-right is performing better than ever.

  Almost every headline on Slate is clickbait. Sometimes they do publish good articles and have good counterpoints in them, but the clickbait can feel excessive to the point it is nauseating. :eyeroll: #slate #clickbait

  I really dislike this kind of filler article on SMH. Apparently its target audience skews an older demographic, so there's probably still a significant number of Royalists who lap up anything British Royal Family related and want to read positive coverage of them. 🤷‍♂️ This article tries to talk up the impact of King Charles. The reality is: given that Trump's mercurial nature, one phone call from Putin and Trump will change his mind. #sydneymorningherald #britishRoyalFamily #...

  "Mariya Takeuchi on Hollywood Boulevard in 1980" This photo looks surreal. According to Wikipedia, 'Mariya Takeuchi (竹内 まりや, Takeuchi Mariya) is a Japanese singer-songwriter and record producer. Regarded as the "Queen of City Pop", Takeuchi is one of the best-selling music artists in Japan with over 16 million records sold. Internationally, her 1985 song "Plastic Love" became a sleeper hit and the catalyst of the 21st century reviva...

  #Trump is not an anomaly. He is a mirror of American culture and values. That's why Trump's puppets and judges win everywhere in the USA, despite the disastrous Iran war. 🙄🙄🙄 #iranwar #trumpland https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/05/indiana-republicans-donald-trump
