I love living in a country where voting is compulsory and voting is on a non-work day. So on a Saturday I go to vote - all I need to do is to get my name crossed off the electoral roll to say I turned up. If I want too I can throw my my ballots in the bin.

Why can't the super rich tech billionaires do something good for their own country like building and supporting free hospitals that allow americans to have access to healthcare rather than going bankrupt

It has become really clear that America is no longer the leader of the free world. I think Germany, Britain and France are vying for that title. Who want's to tell Trump?

I am back from visitng Auschwitz. Peole are forgetting that anti-semitism led to extreme acts against jewish people. I do not condone the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza but I do not blame every jewish person for what is happening.

The war in Palestine is now Israel's Holocaust. The world will not forgive them.

Now getting multiple followers per day (thank you someone). But as I go through and vet these new followers the piece of joy I get from almost everyone of them is not only do they love their democracy but they their love animals. Do psychopaths like animals?

Trump is unwittingly destroying America because his ego is so fragile that he can only do things in his own interest and not the county's. God is not blessing Trump's America.

America has decided to defenestrate itself on the world stage. Well done Trump. The American people didn't deserve this.

My 87 year old mother asked me what woke meant. I gave my best answer and I am Australian. I thought woke was when white Americans woke up to what afro Americans had been experiencing. And now it is a term of right wing abuse diminishing its earlier significance. Sorry if I have got this wrong.

Someone was posting about the Great Depression and my mind went to that Literary Classic the Grapes of Wrath. Who wants to guess what books Trump or Vance have read?

In the early days pre World War II it was clear where the epicentre of Fascism was and that was Spain. And so many people including George Orwell went there and he wrote Homage to Catalonia. Nazi Germany bombed Guernica and Picasso produced an horrific master work. Trump will not inspire greatness

Only another five hours or so until Judge Boasberg hears so called evidence from the Trump insurrection on the illegal deportation of non-combatants.

Israel has no other agenda but to destroy Palestine. If there is evidence to the contrary I am more than happy to listen to it.

I have a few places on my bucket list that I want to go to before I die. Am going to Poland (Auschwitz) this year I have always wanted to visit Chicago for its amazing architecture. Can somebody let me know when it may be safe to visit America again please.

The chaos in the American political landscape is making me rethink my support for a republic in this country. This is not out of loyalty to the British Monarchy but out of fear that we may lose some checks and balances that protect us. Happy to be convinced otherwise.

I love maps and I look at what want Trump wants to claim by taking over Canada and Greenland. It seems to be that Trump wants to show Putin that his dick (territory) is as big as his. Just one person's opinion.

There is a discussion happening around bitcoin and I am completely lost. I originally dismissed it as a plaything for the tech nerds but it seems it is going to be a lot more significant than that. Where can I learn more about bitcoin please so I can catch up and understand what's going on.

Is this how it felt in Europe when Chamberlain gave in to Hitler. A very nervous sense that perhaps it was not yet all over? Ukraine and perhaps Europe will be sacrificed because Trump is the new Chamberlain?

Trump saw the over turn of Roe v Wade because he is apparently pro life but he will now let thousands of children die because DOGE has blocked life saving foods and medicines provided by USAID. But of course these helpless children are not white Americans.

I have decided, unilaterally of course, that the United States Government have become collaborators in Putin's illegal war against Ukraine. Wasn't planning to visit America anytime soon anyway.

I may be being overly simplistic but does Trump want to get out of giving money to Ukraine so he can fund his pet project of ethnically cleansing Gaza?

I have this dubious claim to fame in that I was born on 29th February. In a non leap year I get the mixed response of birthday greetings on both 28 February and 1 March. This made me feel doubly fucked over on my birthday by Trump and Vance

I don't know what the political etiquette is in America. I am only seeing no one but Tim Waltz post not Obama, not Clinton not Harris not even Bush. Is there some unofficial rule that says they are gagged? If not then this is a failure of leadership by the Democrats and people who care.

If that comes true then that will tell you all you need to know about what is wrong with America's current leadership. They have no interest in making America great again - they are only interested in making America belong to the great again. Welcome to the new gilded age.

I live in Australia and I have watched you try and defend your country and its people against the illegitimate attacks of Russia. Your presidency is an attempt at bring democracy to Ukraine and then to have a country like America betray your democracy is unspeakable. #zelensky

I need an intervention. I should not go on twitter but my urge to argue with their idiocy is high. Please tell me it is fruitless and I should sit here peacefully on Bluesky.
