A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

One curious feature about political reform is that so many people feel it is “disloyal” to attempt to rectify the abuses in one’s own party. And yet it is obvious that political morality is dependent upon the awakened conscience and private morality of the voters. Such “disloyalty” is simply an evidence of loyalty to principle.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) American politician, diplomat, activist; First Lady of the US (1933–45)
Memoir (1961), The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt, Part 4, ch. 42 “The Democratic Convention of 1960”

“ On 14 June 2025, #AnthonyAlbanese stood inside an enormous sphere of glass and steel, surrounded by 40,000 plants from around the world. His mind was firmly fixed on datacentres. The prime minister #PM was in the Seattle headquarters of #AmazonWebCentres He stood alongside the company’s chief executive, #MattGarman, who outlined a $20bn plan to build datacentres in #Melbourne and #Sydney.

Speaking to a travelling press pack, Garman was emphatic that #Australia was “incredibly important and a great market” for the world’s biggest #datacentre company.

Within days of #Albanese returning home, Amazon reported its largest payment to an Australian #PoliticalParty on record. The company’s federal disclosures show a $46,500 payment to the Labor party’s federal branch on 28 June.”

This was one of 34 payments – totalling $538,000 – that Amazon made to #Labor and #Liberal branches over a six-year period.”

Alba-sleezy.

„The top Democrats on the House and Senate foreign affairs committees this week announced their intent to block a $2.8 billion sale of 60,000 one-ton bombs to Israel. It’s an unusual move — and one with limited power beyond the procedural sphere. But it shows that even pro-Israel Democrats are concerned that US-funded weapons are being used to commit #warcrimes.“

" #BERLIN – Why are so many #Germans wringing their hands over Sunday’s #election in #SaxonyAnhalt?

After all, what impact could 1.7 million registered voters in this former East #German state have on a nation with 16 Länder (federal states) and some 60 million voters?

Why Sunday’s election matters

As it turns out, German voters in Saxony-Anhalt could give the #rightwing extremist #politicalparty, the Alternative for #Germany, or #AfD, its most significant achievement since its founding in 2013.

Although the AfD is predicted to win only 40 percent of the #vote, that would be enough to affect upcoming general local elections in #LowerSaxony on Sept. 13, and elections in the state of #MecklenburgPomerania and the city-state of Berlin on Sept. 20." 😬

"A co-founder of the #British #politicalparty #RestoreBritain has come under fire after critics accused him of suggesting that #ReformUK leader #NigelFarage had been "bought" by #Jewish supporters, prompting renewed scrutiny of the fledgling party over allegations of #antisemitism and ties to the #farright.

According to a Telegraph report Thursday, #CharlieDownes, 25, a co-founder and spokesman for #Restore #Britain, responded in February to a post by #Farage on X in which the #Reform #UK leader wrote: "I can't be bullied. I can't be bought. I've stood for the same principles for many decades."

Rather than replying with text, Downes posted a photograph of Farage speaking at the launch of the #ReformJewishAlliance, Reform UK's Jewish supporters' group. The image showed Farage standing behind a podium bearing the group's logo, with a #StarofDavid visible in the background."

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

   Civil Service Reform had two sides. There was, first, the effort to secure a more efficient administration of the public service, and, second, the even more important effort to withdraw the administrative offices of the Government from the domain of spoils politics, and thereby cut out of American political life a fruitful source of corruption and degradation.
   The spoils theory of politics is that public office is so much plunder which the victorious political party is entitled to appropriate to the use of its adherents. […] Yet there were many flagrant instances of inefficiency, where a powerful chief quartered friend, adherent, or kinsman upon the Government. Moreover, the necessarily haphazard nature of the employment, the need of obtaining and holding the office by service wholly unconnected with official duty, inevitably tended to lower the standard of public morality, alike among the office-holders and among the politicians who rendered party service with the hope of reward in office.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 5 “Applied Idealism” (1913)

Well, okay, that’s #funny. There’s a small #PoliticalParty in #Germany called #PDF. It stands for Partei des Fortschritts – Party of Progress.

Now, how would a party that shares their name with a file type call their youth organisation? Well, #JPG of course! 😆

(JPG stands for »Jung. Politisch. Gutaussehend.« – ‘Young, Political, Good Looking.’ so there is no doubt they did it on purpose!)
