After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Maybe stop reporting like the president is telling the truth. Since he’s not telling the truth about really anything.

The Reflecting Pool should be left in shambles as a reminder of his failed presidency. He should never be allowed to touch anything else in DC again. Let the next president fix it properly.

Tony Abbott has always been a man dedicated to the scoreboard. Lost his Prime Ministership, then lost his seat, now apparently wants to lose the entire Liberal Party. Have to admire the |absolute value| of the dedication, regardless of its direction

Prior to the Trump administration, American health agencies were uniquely positioned to combat outbreaks like this But then Trump and Elon Musk dismantled USAID and pulled us out of the WHO Now, the only question is, how many will die because of their callous, arrogant incompetence

The Ebola outbreak in the DRC shows why President Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization and humanitarian aid cuts are a big mistake. Infectious diseases don't know borders, and the Trump-Vance Admin’s chaotic and anti-science health policies make us all less safe.

Finally!! Hopefully "consultation" will be swift, and findings actually implemented. Whatever improvements result must surely ease unacceptable (two-hour) contact centre wait times for users of Service Australia's 'digital' services. 1/2

"a new concept with three streams of support, depending on how much help a jobseeker needs." This pathetic spin is so insulting when the most basic thing that "a jobseeker needs" is not to live in poverty. And privatization has been a disaster, minister. Bring back the CES. #RaiseTheRate #auspol

Since Google is going all in on AI, I finally tried out Duck Duck Go. Breath of fresh air. You can completely hide ads from results, as well as remove ALL AI features and even hide AI from image searches. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a great time.

Keep Android Open
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
