For such an important issue, we've had apathy from potential institutional funders.

The ABC says they’re taking legal action against One Nation for their improper use of the Bluey character in cartoons, used to run over Pauline Hanson’s political opponents, saying the party should expect contact from lawyers.
ABC’s Marks “It’s a breach of intellectual property”

Reform are now third in the polls, behind the Tories. Behind the actual Tories. That's like losing a sprint to a bloke who's been declared clinically dead for two years.

Pete Hegseth was thoroughly embarrassed by Senator Tammy Duckworth.
Senator Tammy Duckworth—a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who lost both her legs while serving in Iraq—pressed Hegseth with a question:
Tammy Duckworth: "I’m glad you brought that up. Can you name even one ASEAN member country and explain what kind of agreement we have with it? And, while you’re at it, do you know how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I’m not even sure you know who our allies are."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Well, I can’t give you the exact number, but I certainly know who our allies are: South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Tammy Duckworth: "None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework better before engaging in these kinds of discussions."
The level of incompetence of the person leading the Pentagon—it’s simply unbelievable.
Almost 5,000 threats and violent comments have been flagged on the social media accounts of 22 Labor politicians in just three months, as MPs turn to technology to combat online abuse.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein. ms.now/news/house-judiciary-…

Breaking: Donald Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up of Epstein's crimes.

Absolute fire here from Monique Ryan:
“She is a negative force in Australian politics.”
For decades Pauline Hanson has been platformed and legitimised despite the racism, bigotry and division.
If you’re going to give her the platform and the reach, then hold her to account.
The only ‘shithousery’ is coming from Trump.
History’s longest, stupidest tantrum over not getting a certain prize for which he is the planet’s least qualified.
Norway one of the best and best-managed countries in the world.
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
President Trump escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a ‘shit house country’ and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize reut.rs/3U1joSt

I’ll take a shot at answering one of these good questions. These poor young people are not dying for "no reason". They’re dying because Vladimir Putin's Russia invaded Ukraine and Ukrainians don’t want to be murdered. I hope this helps.

German parliamentarian Max Krah of the "Alternative für Deutschland" party, which is far-right and pro-Putin (to put it mildly) on the Serbian election:
"Not a good day. After Hungary, we have lost Serbia as well."

Trump is now talking about Nicki Minaj’s “one hell of a beautiful ass”. This is how the country has fallen.
This is sexual harassment.
"If you're not angry, you're not listening"
If you haven't already, take the time to listen to this eloquent young American. Says it all: succintly.

Radio Free Europe played a vital role in providing independent news during the struggle against Milošević.
Today, once again, @RFERL stands with the Serbian people in their fight for democracy and freedom of information. Amazing work @RSE_Balkan
Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's former president and dominant political figure for more than a decade, conceded defeat to the student-led protest movement in the country's parliamentary elections.
While the final election results were yet to be announced, independent observers reported that voter turnout could reach its highest level in decades, approaching 70 percent after a day of long lines at polling stations.
