If this is true I don't think the US can call itself a Democracy anymore - not that it has been for some time, but the Secret Service being used to pull Press Passes from journalists? Bet that's not on their List of Duties.

"A US judge has ordered Donald Trump to restore access to the White House for 3 media outlets he had banned: CNN, Politico & MS Now." 😂 😂 😂 Fuckwit doesn't even know what powers he *does* have! Evidently, banning media outlets he doesn't like isn't among them!! Loser! 😂 😂 😂 #FuckDrumpf

Happy Astronomical #SpringEquinox, Southern Hemispherans! The Astronomical Equinox is around 3 wks after the start of Meteorological Spring, which is the beginning of Sept. Using calendar mths to define the seasons more closely matches natural seasonal temp cycles in most parts of the world.

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.

It is utterly inconceivable that a 47yo man wld stab a woman in her 90s to death. How is that allowed to happen? On the same day a 37yo man murdered a woman in her 70s, & a 23yo woman was murdered by a man known to her. #DomesticViolence @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social we call on you to take action. Now.

The best piece of news, after a relentless and brutal attempt to destroy a decent person and make an example of her, to scare others to silence. No thanks to the mainstream, which said and did nothing to defend the principle of press freedom and her right to report fact and express an opinion.

Also concludes that, "If top bureaucrats don’t enjoy being criticised and mocked for giving evasive answers during parliamentary hearings, perhaps they should stop giving evasive answers."

Top bureaucrats don’t want to be criticised on social media, but their fix may be unconstitutional
Some of the country’s highest-paid public servants would like politicians to stop posting videos of them online. It would be an antidemocratic, even unlawful, move.
