Feeling a little wierd here being asked if I am a dem in DMs. Just going to put this out there yes I am without reservation a Democrat.

While the party has made mistakes particularly around issues like rejuvenating our aging congressional delegation etc I have never felt more at home then here.

Australia has no protection for journalism.

That means we don't protect our democracy.

We need Anti-SLAPP laws to stop the powerful and wealthy from using vexatious lawsuits to silence critics.

a foreign govt at war. That is what journalists are for, & in this country it is meant to be protected. Then she had to defend it in Fed Court, spending 2yrs doing almost nothing but preparing her defence. In her own words, "a case like this would have cost the average Australian their home."

Over six months, we tracked the appearance of child sexual abuse material on X. We found images from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's database, which is considered one of the most highly vetted and which many tech companies block on upload. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...

"When Republican lawmakers secured cuts to [SNAP] last year, Paige Shoemaker DeMio wasn't worried about children going hungry just at home — but at school.

"Anytime we're hearing about cuts to SNAP or Medicaid, we're worried about what's going to be the domino effect of this."
As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk
Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.

Fear is never a permanent foundation for your politics to rest upon. It creates a temporary sense of control for those who wield it and a drive for change in those whom it impacts.

I know that I often point to the insanity in the US as a cause for concern with the rise of One Nation here at home

So I realised something about Australia.

1) We have a better chance of preventing the rise of the far right here due to the multi party system

2) One Nation may be on the rise but their brand of grievance driven policy and politics isn't sustainable

Hey LNP little less blame game and a bit more bipartisan effort after the biggest mass shooting since Port Arthur please.

Sick of the half-truths and spin less than 24 hours after an attack on our fellow countrymen and women. Religion being used by you like this is sickening. You had #auspol /1

This RWer is the reason why political debate has gone so sour. While I may not agree with @lisazed.bsky.social 100% of the time that is ok for example. That comes from our views being at odds on a couple of issues which we discussed in another thread.

We turn to academia & the fourth estate for scientifically rigorous, evidentially based, objective & unbiased knowledge. The reason very few right wing attitudes are found in universities or quality journalism, is because most RW ideas aren't scientifically rigorous or evidentially based.

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families
