The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

There’s a simple reform the federal government could introduce to bring house prices down. Directing APRA to force banks to limit loans given to investors would make it easier for people to buy a house they actually want to live in. @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol

Raising the $7.25 an hour minimum wage to a living wage is not a radical idea. Since 2020, voters in Florida, Nebraska, Missouri & Alaska approved a major increase in their minimum wage. What’s radical is that the federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles. We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports. @emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️

I expect more ppl than I are waiting with bated breath watching Tim Wilson’s margin slipping away -now down to 258 with more votes to count by the AEC. I can imagine the hissy fit cries of “recount!” & “rigged” if he loses ..something I would enjoy immensely. That barnacle doesn’t deserve to win

It’s time to cap the “out of control” salaries paid to Vice Chancellors at Australian universities. Australia’s Vice Chancellors are among the highest paid in the world, at a time when the institutions they oversee are plummeting down international rankings. New analysis:

This is what oligarchy is about. While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption. The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

This is quite an extraordinary table from Streem showing how many seats each party would have won if their share of seats matched their share of media coverage during the campaign. You're not imagining it. The Murdoch press et al didn't shut up about Dutton. Lucky no-one was listening. #auspol
