@edgeoforever DeSantis! Another man baby with too much power and ego. Poor fragile little tyke. I'll have to look up the Quasimodo connection.😆😅🤣

I was speaking to my sister who lives in Canada yesterday and she mentioned that she and her husband were planning to go to Europe for a couple of weeks holiday. (Half their luck!) South of France and Spain. They used to go to #Florida regularly but consciously decided to avoid the USA because they felt it was too great a risk. Too many #guns and too many armed nutjobs. Too many shootings. GOP gone totally haywire. Unjust laws around reproductive rights. She said it was like a 3rd world country right next door. And with DeSantis in charge of Florida she said that put Florida completely off her list of possible holiday destinations.I wonder how many other people are having those same sort of family conversations.

@TonyStark "Not a Republican has the courage to step up." I think the GOP sees political advantage in the stance they take. I really don't know why. Playing to their base, maybe, which is much more limited than they think. And I also think that pro gun stance puts the lie to their "pro life" position regarding abortion.I also think that much of the blame needs to be sheeted home to the Murdoch media. Fox news has much to answer for.I attended a school gathering a few days ago for my daughter's formal ball. Everybody present had a smartphone. I formed the thought that if those were not phones but guns I wouldn't be feeling very safe at all. I wish the US well. Might help keep us all safe.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Thanks. I was wondering what happened. CNN used to be a reliable reporter of actual news.

@Penelope Very sad, Penelope. I weep for animals like this, slaughtered for what? How anyone could feel good about killing a little elephant, I have no idea.

@stux Putin must be mightily concerned about this turn of events. He is madly stamping his feet and issuing threats against the known universe.

@Grandalf @RHW @Penelope They pretend to be an academic institution. Hence members are "fellows" and so forth. Just layers of dishonesty and prevarication.

@Grandalf @RHW @Penelope The IPA writes the LNP policy book. It is representative of a tiny minority of very wealthy people. Such wealth should not be owned by individuals in my view. They preach kindergarten economic and social policy and have FAR TOO MUCH political influence. They are, of course, supported by the Murdoch media empire.

So… NSW Minerals Council CEO Stephen Galilee denounced the protesters as “extremists”.He's got it wrong. I'd say the extremists are those who insist they be allowed to continue to sell coal, oil and gas so it can be burnt, polluting the atmosphere, destroying earth's life support systems in the process.#GlobalHeating #auspol #RisingTidehttps://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/nsw/2023/11/25/coal-protest-halts-newcastle-ships

@LALegault And they don't like publicity. yesterday I saw a report of the targeting and killing of an Al Jazeera cameraman in South Gaza filming at a school. Here:https://www.timesofisrael.com/al-jazeera-says-journalist-killed-in-israeli-strike-on-khan-younis/
