‘Stop sucking up to America’: Japan’s youth rises up to protect pacifist constitution Protests are growing against moves to change Japan’s ‘supreme law’, a document written by the US that is now being challenged by Iran war

"Stop sucking up to America" is also sound advice for the Albanese government. #auspol

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

-FDR, 1937

It's final: Rappler wins vs 2018 SEC shutdown order This comes after the Supreme Court ended the case that sought to shut down the digital media company

Australian federal politics is going to be increasingly unrestrained racism all the way to the next election, no point pretending otherwise

I just keep thinking of all those in Australia who've had friends and family massacred by Israel, including volunteers like Zomi Frankcom - to see Herzog, the political symbol of Israel's racist violence, genocidal hatred and apartheid - paraded and feted by Australia's political class.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

Sorry I can’t sign your petition Misty.
People like me from Australia know the abuse that has occurred in organised religion and those that have gotten away with their heinous crimes.
We support and admire your efforts.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social I so much appreciate your voice of reason. Please say a word for abused kids trapped in strict religions. No one seems to care 😢

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Looking forward to Wayne Carey and Sam Newman putting out a statement decrying this.

Should be recommended reading for every American to understand what has/is happening to their country.
Maria should be on every talk show in the world!

The News Corp campaign for a royal commission is like pushing on a string - the other media just following their lead and Labor too cowed to push back. No rationale, no questions, no interrogation of the problems. The whole thing is genuinely stupid.

Perfection.

Based on the census data, Jewish citizens make up about 0.4% of the Australian population.

Muslims in Australia, represents 3.2% of the total population.

Christianity (43.9%)
No religion (38.9%)

This means 83% of Aussies probably don't harbor any bigotry toward either religion. #auspol

Pretty weird irony: the Very Serious People are proposing hate speech laws that stifle criticism of this kind of hate speech - to protect people who support or ignore it.

I honestly don’t know what’s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

We see this everywhere now. Politicians spin tales that crumble under the weight of facts, yet millions cheer as if truth were a matter of popularity. Media empires profit from outrage rather than accuracy.
