@NBN_Australia I have been in touch with the ISP. But the fact is the internet has not worked since your technician was in our street yesterday. Don’t give me the run around

[Mr Denmore @MrDenmore]

Hey @NBN_Australia - is there anyone accountable there? Your website says no outages in my area, yet there was a technician here yesterday laying cables. And internet has been out since. ISP has done reset but no change. Your chatbot is useless.

🧵Donald Trump’s victory is an inflection point for the America, the West, and the planet. It has been enabled by a network of billionaires, think tanks and lobbying groups that believe, as does the Russian Government, that democracy must be destroyed /1 https://t.co/cnuA5mLTcj

@Reuters Hi subs at @Reuters, the spelling is ‘Robertson’.

American voters fucked around — and now they're about to find out. As Steve Bannon admitted post election, Trump will implement the fascist manifesto Project 2025. The U.S. is about to become as cruel, barbaric, medieval and sadistic as any authortarian country in the world. 🥺👇

@anSMHreader Truly. And spineless Albo was on the phone in a flash grovelling to the orange man. We need to get out of AUKUS, fast.

[Mr Denmore @MrDenmore]

We knew Americans en masse were stupid. But THAT stupid?? What a truly f&$&ed country. What a truly f&£^ed world.

On such days the immortal words in 2002 of former Whitehall permanent secretary Sir Richard Mottram re-echo down the ages: “We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. We're all completely fucked.”

I’m travelling in beautiful Japan. With ‘Brand USA’ destroyed, Australia could learn from the Japanese who have a humble, collective, earth-respecting, quiet culture that honours nature, beauty and human dignity.

This is a really good piece by David French in the NYT. You can read it for free without a subscription. https://t.co/snSTJ2bTZc

If Donald Trump is elected:

The struggle against climate change is over.

Women will lose the right to control their own bodies.

We'll have no shot at raising the minimum wage.

Humanitarian aid will not reach starving people in Gaza.

Do not sit this election out.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Why are billionaires lining up behind Republicans?

Because their wealth has doubled since the GOP enacted Trump's tax cuts for the rich.

They want even more tax breaks, of course.

But they also know that the more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

[Mr Denmore @MrDenmore]

@PeterJamesRoth6 They are so desperate to be seen as ‘objective’ that they surrender their news judgement and are rendered incapable of calling a spade a spade (or in this case a billionaire-led fascist insurrection)

TRUMP: My political opponents should face a firing squad.

HARRIS: Here’s my sixteen-point plan to directly target middle class families and help them succeed.

NEW YORK TIMES: Both candidates trade barbs in the final week of the race.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Why would the world’s richest man be f*cked if Donald Trump loses?
