That’s great news! Thanks for replying. There are a lot of TikTok users here who will be very keen to migrate given what.’s happening on that platform. Can’t wait for Skylight. 😁

I’m in Australia and just tried to download Skylight Social, only to find out that the app is not available in my region. When do you think Australia will be included?

Nazi oligarchs have seized treasury control of an authoritarian White House and everyone seems kinda chill about it - The Shot Capitalism and democracy, despite what you’ve been led to believe, are not the same thing. Capitalism eats democracy if unsupervised.

Here's me.

“They’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

GOP Senators and House members are scared of being murdered by Trump supporters if they don’t support Trump. This is fascism in America. My latest:

Devastatingly sad, Rob.

Here’s another troubling development in the US. The Trump/Musk regime is now moving on the National Archives.

The Plot Against America How a Dangerous Ideology Born From the Libertarian Movement Stands Ready to Seize America

Here’s the history of the ideology underpinning the actions of the Trump/Musk regime and the Project 2025 policies. When you know the rationale, it makes a kind of horrible sense.

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

There's nothing we can do about the US, but there's a lot we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us - especially in an election year. Time to step up! #auspol

It’s great, isn’t it?

Seeing lots of good anti-Dutton content from young creators. Much more hard hitting than the stuff produced by Labor.

They’re MIA on TikTok.

If ever you were in any doubt about who sponsors the #LNP, watch this video from @friendlyjordies.bsky.social. #Dutton admits he wants to ‘turbocharge’ the mining industry, defund the Environmental Defenders Office & limit challenges to decisions. #auspol bsky.app/profile/slap...

@friendlyjo

Podcast or livestream?

Time we used the right labels. The LNP aren’t conservative small ‘L’ liberals any more. They’re an authoritarian far right political group, primarily concerned with protecting the interests of wealthy individuals & corporations and looking to emulate Project 2025 in Australia. #auspol #insiders

Australian voters,
Coles and Woolworths have joined forces with Kmart and Costco to publicly support the ARA's application to the Fair Work Commission to scrap overtime, evening and weekend penalty rates, and work breaks. If this goes through it will be used as a precedent everywhere. #AusVotes2025

Especially but not only if you have a Qld postcode, please consider supporting this.

Spot on. It was 1982. I felt privileged to see them. Loved Joe Strummer. Such a terrific performance. Your mention of the Dean Bros reminds me of watching the news of Cloudland’s demolition in disbelief. So many memories gone overnight.

Saw The Clash live at Cloudland Ballroom in Brisbane before this beautiful old building was demolished on the orders of the Bjelke Petersen government. Brilliant show. Saw a very early Midnight Oil gig at Qld Uni. Equally great live. Good times.

It’s just that are lots of shelters now using TikTok very effectively to promote rescues and urgent adoptions to save dogs from euthanasia lists. That’s why I asked. I thought maybe I could organise some help. Heartbreaking to see another soul abandoned in this way. The ultimate betrayal. 💔

Same applies in Australia, except here, we keep them in out of the heat in Dec/Jan. it reached 116 degrees in Perth two days ago.

White Swiss Shepherd - an Arctic breed too. Way too much floof.

Where is this dog? What shelter?

So cruel. 😂 Looks are why we keep this guy around too.

Beautiful girl!

She was so lucky. I hope she’s doing well now. 😊

X post from Jennifer Griffin at Fox News, at 6:10 PM. “100 US troops are already en route to the border. A senior Marine official I spoke to said: The 500 Marines being sent from being on stand by to help with the California fires will be armed and have magazines in their weapons, unlike during past border missions. The Marines are planning for up to 2500 Marines being sent to the border if requested. The Marines, I am told, are treating this deployment as they would any other emergency contingency (evacuating an Embassy, deploying to a war zone). “Our response will be immediate. We are going in ready to respond. If the cartels shoot at us we will not stand by,” this Marine official told me. "We will be taking whatever equipment we would send if a Marine Expeditionary Unit or MEU were deploying overseas."

Trump just took 500 Marines on standby to help with escalating California wildfires and sent them to the border instead, where migrant crossings have been at the lowest level they’ve been in years since July. Unbelievable.

And apparently armed, which is new. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
