  • Power without accountability. Trump's 'spectacular success' a dangerous precedent

    6 days ago | womensagenda.com.au | Angela Priestley

    The United States’ pre-emptive bombing of Iranian nuclear sites marks a perilous new chapter, not only for the Middle East but for the entire global order. President Trump declared the mission a “spectacular success” after B-2 bombers left Missouri in the United States and travelled over 30 hours to destroy nuclear facilities in Iran. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth praised “our boys in those bombers” — though one of the pilots was a woman — as they returned home. The speeches came fast.

  • Can we blame women for avoiding the news?

    1 week ago | womensagenda.com.au | Angela Priestley

    The latest analysis of news consumption trends in Australia should leave traditional news businesses reflecting on what they offer women. One in four Australians (26 per cent) now list social media as their main source of news, overtaking online news websites for the first time (down 5 points to 23 per cent), according to the Digital News Report released on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Australians are losing trust in the news, with just 43 per cent of Australians saying they trust it.

Casual Friday morning reminder that Russia invaded Ukraine. Even Fox News spent plenty of time documenting those early days. Just in case anyone wants to try and rewrite some more facts. Monday marks 3 years since the start of the full-scale war. https://t.co/n2yCyJGWEh
