Horrific. What an evil revolting woman. Should be locked up for life.

There are so many horrific and tragic mass shootings in America that it barely raises mentions now. That in itself is also a tragedy. The fact that people are not even shocked anymore.

Yes it's crazy and frightening. We can thank Trump for that mess. Scary.
Yes. Trump and Fox news which promoted all of these conspiracy theory " stolen election" rubbish for fascists and ultra right wing media. This will happen all over the world all the time now when an ultra right wing government loses power in a democratic election. It is a lot more frightening than many realise.
-
It is frightening and all so predictable that right wing fascists refuse to accept election results. It will happen everywhere now. The scene has been set. These right wing brainwashed idiots are such a massive threat to democracy worldwide.

He deserves a death sentence and yet Indonesia government sentenced him 20 years only in jail and now they are giving him an early release?
The Bali bomber killed 200+ people and torn 200 families apart.
Yes, there is so much anger about his early release. It is horrendous that he has only served 10 years. He should NEVER be released.

Dreadful decision by Indonesia. Such outdated, draconian and vicious rules set to suppress people. Tragic to see Indonesia becoming more religiously fundamental and backwards. Such a huge population of people who will be dreadfully impacted by these shocking new laws being sworn in. Will impact Bali so much too. I would not advise any Australian to visit Bali anymore - one of Australia's most popular holiday destinations. They say these rules won't effect tourists but I would not risk it. They have also let the Bali bomber who created the bomb that killed so many out early from jail.

The right wing are really flexing their muscles worldwide and it is terrifying. Thank goodness Germany's security systems were on the ball.

Ha ha ha. Despite all the headlines, vicious articles, conspiracy theories etc, ( this photo below of awful headlines and articles in Murdoch's daily paper ) the Australian Labor party romped home.

That's great news Jan. Murdoch will be feeling like the impotent old bastard that he is. Can't help feeling slightly jealous that all of Oz has well and truly turned it's back on the right wing. If anything, I can see the malign Murdoch influence getting even worse over here now that he's lost his grip over there.
Kim, Murdoch is getting laughed at everywhere online and people calling him irrelevant and that he has lost all influence in Australia. The way his papers campaigned against Labor was described as the most vicious media campaign ever seen in Australia. I feel that decades ago, he would have succeeded with these tactics but Australians are completely awake up to him now. It is such a great night for Victoria and Australia.

So proud of the state of Victoria who completely ignored one of the most vicious, nastiest and biased media campaigns ever by the Murdoch press and overwhelmingly re- elected Labor. Murdoch's paper and sky news were relentless in their attacks on Dan Andrews and the Labor Party. Australia now has completely rejected the conservative party in virtually every state. NSW has their election in the new year and it suggests Labor will romp home there as well. @San @swimtoshore @Creepy Insane Person @Bitch I'm Christian @Leebf @cardiganstarlet @Michael. @xtaticboy82and @Paul- I bet you are all happy. Murdoch is getting rubbished everywhere on line and his influence in Australia is truly over. @Kim I know too how much you detest Murdoch and this was such a great result. Australia has become such a progressive country.

I agree. I think a lot about why narcissistic dictators are appealing to people. Putin, Erdogan… Why ruthless unfair businessmen have such support.
And yesterday I was reading in Twitter people applauding the drastic reduction of employees. As if they don’t understand that people are to fix things or develop new things. Just like a football team doesn’t have only 11 players, but up to 20: in case you need new tactics or someone gets hurt. I guess stupid people support stupid figures.
Yes. Everyday people applauding and cheering on mass sackings and congratulating Elon Musk. They would applaud him if he hired new people for the exact same jobs he sacked others over and payed them only $5 an hour. They would say what a great businessman he is.
Kanye West is allowed to come back to Twitter too. So wishing war and death on Jewish people is now OK and simply freedom of speech.
-
The amount of people idolising this billionaire who inherited his original fortune is nauseating. Applauding him and cheering him on for sacking so many and drooling with excitement and admiration for him for being an over demanding boss who sacks people without warning and who has the ego that belongs to a narcissist and sociopath. A man who happily spreads crazy cruel conspiracy theories as well. See it all the time though.
Always amazed at people loving egomaniacs and cruel unfair people who are extremely wealthy. Money is such a turn on for them and they don’t even care if it is inherited or made by exploiting others.

I don’t feel interest for Tiktok either. I prefer tumblr to have a laugh and instagram to pass the time. I read Twitter to know what’s happening (and porn

The first thing to notice about Masih Alinejad is her hair: a mass of corkscrew curls sometimes worn loose like a radiant halo, occasionally pinned up, almost always with a flower pinned above her left ear. This is not a gratuitous comment on her appearance, but at the heart of a battle that brought her to Paris this week to speak to President Emmanuel Macron.
Alinejad is the international face and voice of angry women in Iran who are being beaten, jailed and even killed for throwing off their compulsory headscarves and showing their hair. Today in Paris, she has a very clear message for the French president and other western leaders: stop shaking hands with Iranian clerics, stop dealing with Iran.
“I want to ask President Macron if he wants to stand with those who are actually killing people, taking hostages, oppressing people and trying to suppress a peaceful revolution, or does he want to stand on the right side of history?” she says.
“I want him to stop negotiating with the Islamic Republic, until the day the regime stops killing people. I want him to recall his ambassadors, to call his allies and ask them to all downgrade their diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic, to kick out all their diplomats and put the Islamic Revolutionary Guards on the terrorist list.
“I’m not asking the leaders of democratic countries to come and save us. I don’t want them to save us, I want them to stop saving the Islamic Republic.
“This ongoing uprising is just the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic. This is the 21st century and it’s not acceptable for that government to kill children or teenagers or schoolgirls for dancing, for showing their hair, for singing or for wanting to have a normal life.”
There are more than 42 million women in Iran who have been forced to cover their heads in public since the 1979 revolution that toppled the Shah. The current wave of protests erupted in September after Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died at the hands of Iran’s morality police force, which is notorious for the brutal enforcement of the obligatory hijab law.
Since then, Iranian girls and women have taken to the streets with the slogan “women, life, liberty”, in open defiance of the mullahs running Iran. They have burned headscarves, cut their hair – forbidden by some Islamic authorities – challenged armed security forces and posted videos on social media
Now in its eighth week despite a bloody crackdown, the “women’s revolution” shows no sign of going away. About 14,000 protesters have been arrested, of whom 1,000 have been charged with crimes, some punishable by death. Javaid Rehman, the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, told the UN security council last month the security forces had killed at least 277 people.
Alinejad, 45, a journalist and activist, is a thorn in the side of the Iranian regime, those she calls “ignorant clerics” who accuse her of being a foreign agent and have warned that anyone sending her videos of protests – which she relays on social media – will be jailed.
In Iran, her 70-year-old mother has been threatened, her brother arrested, and her sister paraded on television to denounce her. In New York, where Alinejad has been living in exile since 2009, the FBI has charged four people with allegedly plotting to kidnap her. In August, police arrested a man loitering around her Brooklyn home and found a loaded AK-47 in his car. She and her husband, Kambiz Foroohar, a former Bloomberg reporter, are now in their eighth safe house.
“It’s at least eight,” says Foroohar. “We’ve lost count. It’s mind-blowing.”
At the five-star luxury hotel in Paris where the couple are staying – by invitation of the Elysée – a strapping security guard is keeping a not-so discreet eye on Alinejad. The French police protection is only slightly less obtrusive.
When the Islamic Republic is in power nobody is safe,” she says. “When the FBI came to my house one year ago and said your life is in danger, I couldn’t take it seriously. Iranians receive death threats every day. But they showed me some photos of my life, of my stepson, my husband, me inside my house, in my garden when I was watering my sunflowers …
“I am not scared. I feel guilty when I talk about my personal life because people [in Iran] are being killed in the streets. Mine is just a tiny example of the brutality of this murderous regime and this is not about me. I’m just giving voice to brave Iranian women and men who are saying no to the Islamic Republic.

Twitter can be great when used properly as can provide information and discussion ( unfortunately become too toxic ) - Elon Musk is completely destroying it. TikTok is so stupid and idiotic. All it is is people singing or acting out the latest trend ie a music song with certain movements or dopey challenges - and thinking how cool they are. That latest " Teenage dirtbag" challenge or whatever it was with celebrities joining in posting teenage photos of themselves to that song just become so mundane. I have had a look recently and found it so monotonous and repetitive.

Funny thing: "Woke" is not even a thing anymore. And of course, those people ranting about "Woke" hardly understand what it is about.
Agree totally. I am finding now too ( well in Australia at least ) the Murdoch press - paper and tv - and right wing commentators who hate everything are continually throwing the word "woke" out as an insult when they are ranting about perfectly reasonable people and issues. It has become their go to word to put down anybody that is not like them and who don't long for the days of bullying, racism and sexism that they revelled in. People who are concerned about climate change for example are called "woke" and ridiculed. The word has completely lost it's meaning and the people that use it all the time as insults don't even understand what they are ranting about !

Republicans got caught up in their own delusion versus reality last night. And it was delicious.
The majority of the polls done this midterms were from right leaning pollsters. Couple that with their own echo chamber on social media, Fox News, and the like and they woke up with shit in their beds. Anyone living in reality, talking with people in reality, and keeping an eye on reputable polls could see this wasn't going to be a massive red wave.
It's about fucking time liberals, progressives, independents, and anyone else with sanity came out and actually VOTED against these motherfuckers. And while Dems will still probably lose the house, it will be a very, very narrow majority for the Republicans. The Senate will still probably be 50/50. And MANY of the Governorships they expected to flip (my home state of Michigan being one of them) ended up in Democrats hands. And for the record - Michigan now has UNIFED Democrat control for the first time in nearly 40 years and our Governor - Gretchen Whitmer - won by nearly 10 points. A lot of those wins here were on her coattails. Look for her to be a Presidential contender in 2024.
Trump is by far a huge loser in all of this. He ran around endorsing people who kissed is ass and they lost in some of the most important races in the country. He endorsed that quack Dr. Oz. Who ran for his own ego boost. One of the best losses of the night.
Great to read your post. Michigan has abandoned MAGA candidates big time.

Not sure RON DE SANTIS is better, though. In fact, I think he's worst.
On surface, he might seems more "respectable" and "intelligent" than Trump, but underneath, he does far worse things.He is putrid. He was always going to win because he is in Florida where there is a huge hatred and mistrust of any form of so called socialism. His victory speech against the “woke” etc would not resonate with everyone in the entire country.

I talked about it in the M insta thread:
They vote for these kind of people (Trump, Taylor Greene, etc.) not because they believe in what they say, but because they love the shit show.
That is so depressing.I think too that she represents the conspiracy theorists agenda. The same woman who claimed people died from cancer but didn’t have to wear masks. Cancer of course can’t be spread like a virus but she is that dumb and ridiculous. Giving her any power on important issues is dangerous.

So, what are the predictions for the mid-term elections ? I thought Roe vs Wade over ruling would of been a reason for mass exodus of Republican support but many are saying it has no impact.
Quoting myself but watching American news this morning and all claiming that young people and many women listed the taking away of abortion choice was crucial to them voting.

Economic woes always tend to trump social/moral/progressive issues though. Just bad timing that ppl are feeling poorer (not just in USA of course).
True.
Seems though that the so called "Red Wave" did not happen. Great to see that as was predicted everywhere. Still stuns me that people vote for this current group of Republicans. Full of election deniers, nutjobs and Trump lovers. Surely, decent people who are Republicans must be horrified at the people representing them and would want their party back.
Florida and Texas though - my goodness, their candidates are absolutely atrocious human beings and even more atrocious politicians. Yet, they keep getting support and voted in.
