In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Megge Beacroft, surgeon in Darwin, notes the many geographical relocations required to complete surgical training, and the 'frame shift' that results in trainees starting 5+ years older than a generation ago. These have flow on effects to family, wellbeing, and finances. #RACS26

The NYT quotes a young conservative operative without identifying him as such. On the left, the NYT quotes him wondering why anyone would think Trump is different from any other president. And then on the right, is that kid's Substack insisting that Trump is different from any other president.

Genuinely just bonkers to watch the USA do this to one of the most successful and innovative hubs of scientific research the world has ever seen. All those years of Free Speech On Campus debates and it turns out they actually wanted less cancer research. Absurd.

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.
