    The Guardian is becoming as bad as the NYT, thanks to fucking sellouts such as Gene Marks. I should probably cancel my subscription.

  2. "Insisting that partisans be polite, moderate, reasonable and friendly would actually serve to exclude marginalised political voices. It could do so in two ways:
    • First, there was the problem of gatekeeping. […]
    • [Second] problem: voices at the margins of politics had special cause to be righteous and zealous. On important issues – such as the equality of the sexes – it would not do to remain polite or seek a moderate compromise."

  3. 'They thought this toerag would disappear': Why Joyce ditched the party that made him
    By Leisa Scott and Robyn Powell

    Barnaby Joyce has survived bruising battles, personal crises and public ridicule. Is his latest move to One Nation masterful, or a fatal miscalculation?

  4. Per @theargumentmag The internet’s toxicity isn’t good for anyone, but it’s especially bad for #liberals . Liberalism is a social technology that allows people with profoundly different value systems to live together...Social media rewards moral clarity rather than ambiguity.

  5. How the silence of Western feminists exposes their hypocrisy and fraud.

    “Miscarriages in Gaza tripled in the first half of this year to nearly 4,000, a shocking statistic. If this were any other place on Earth, women would be marching worldwide.”

    By Rachel Eddie

    The Victorian state election is less than 100 days away. With One Nation's popularity riding high, how might the Coalition wrest power from Labor?

  7. 🚨BREAKING: Trump pauses 50% tariffs against Canada.

    And hints at Keystone XL being a part of the deal…

    Weird how Mark Carney hasn't mentioned anything about Keystone in the deal... Is it because he's worried that his voters will turn on him?

  8. If China is arming Russia to fight Ukraine ... and Canada is arming Ukraine to fight Russia ... why did Carney make us strategic partners with China?

    And if we're doing business with China to make them money too ... are we not, in part, also financing Russia's war against Ukraine?

  9. CW: #AusPol

    Really grim proceedings in the House of Representatives today. The #Labor Party hand in hand with the #Liberals and #Nationals.

    Occasionally, a few in the LNP cross the floor to vote uselessly against the fix.

    Each division has the #Greens and the #Independents sitting together, consistently and determinedly representing the vast majority of Australians.

    #Conservatives and #liberals lined up in opposition to the Federal Communications Commission's attempt to punish ABC for speech that President Trump dislikes.

  11. Angus Taylor plays a risky game in trying to capitalise on melon saga
    By David Speers

    Behind the scenes, Angus Taylor and Anthony Albanese have been engaged in a rare level of cooperation this week but in public the opposition leader is using the melon saga to mount an all-out assault on the prime minister's character.

  13. @elasticsoul @RantingCanuck @pressprogress
    Now all of Canada can endure the #genx life experience, which is basically being ruled by self centred narcissistic #boomers who sellout, propagandize, lie and constantly exaggerate to get everything they ever wanted.

    Carney is a dinosaur, soon to be extinct. Sadly, his #neoliberal austerity ideologies and #dirtyoil #pipelines will plague #Canada as well as these pitifully loyal yet ethically shortsighted #Liberals for generations to come.

    Liberals will bear this albatross long after Mark Carney has retreated to his comfy billionaire bunker. We will remember the #SouthernOrcas they willfully sacrificed.

  14. Sussan Ley took America's 'road to nowhere', it helped her find herself again
    By Paul Johnson

    Sussan Ley left Australia after being ousted as Coalition leader. Her trip to the US saw her find an enhanced pride in the success of Australian multiculturalism.

  16. Ashton Hurn can’t distance herself from Liberal Party’s internal problems forever

    The opposition leader says South Australians are not interested in the internal machinations of the Liberal Party. That does not mean they're not significant, writes state political reporter Thomas Kelsall.
