“Trump had specifically asked for a "big, beautiful" battleship-type vessel as part of the fleet”
I’m no expert, but I suspect defence procurement is best informed by naval strategy and not the whims of a mad king.

Sewell played this incredibly well and the decision to unmask and keep his white supremacist talking points within a margin of error from that of the Murdoch rags effectively sponsoring the marches mainstreams the nsn among the casually racist to a disturbing extent.
It would be a massive mistake for progressive folk to convince themselves the March for Australia was a bust, or can safely be ridiculed.
It was an alarming escalation of far-right action, and we need to reckon with it.

Grace Tame axed from Nike ambassador role after discovery she is anti-genocide and anti-starving a population to death
This is cancel-culture,
a disgrace by Nike.
Being pro-Palestine is just a response to the brutality & unjustifiable treatment of the Palestinian people by the criminal Netanyahu
government.
