Just minutes ago Trump and Republicans advanced a budget that absolutely GUTS healthcare and then gives crazy tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country. Seriously… in the dead of night. How does this bill Make Life Better for working Americans?

This was all debated, wrangled, argued & legislated two years ago. It begins next month. There's nothing else to talk about, apparently. The Coalition policy cupboard has been empty since the Back In Black coffee mugs were quietly dropped in the rear lane waste bin. #auspol

“The Day of German Literature” took place 92 years ago today. Nazi students & right-wing groups staged book burnings targeting works by Jewish, leftist and other non-conforming authors. These burnings were a deliberate attempt to control thought and limit access to diverse perspectives.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

Wilson: "Nuclear power is part of building the future industrial base of our country. If we don’t do that, then we are saying either we’re going back to coal, or we as a nation are going to end industrialisation. That is not a future I am prepared to accept." Holy shite. He can't be that dumb.

“And I want Australia to know I have a softer side, Brian.” “You aren’t a monster.” “Exactly.” “Except for when your department was forced by the federal court to transfer a sick child from Nauru to Australia. Or when you accused medical experts of being activist doctors.” “Fuck off Brian.” #auspol

A correction for the muppets at #SkyNews. Although the legislation to ban live exports passed in 2024. The ban itself doesn't come into effect until 2029. So the exports are still ongoing. There is NOTHING to reinstate. #auspol
