How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

It’s always worth a reminder that the Brexit that Starmer wants to make “work” was among Putin’s key policy aims.

Update on anti genocide protester Jasmine Duffs case in Naarm( melb)

According to Guardian Australia’s analysis, a wealthy Australian retiring with $3m in super today would pay an extra $2,355 in tax. perhaps the #abcnews might calm down

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

ABC is just propaganda and outrage. Source: Australian Broadcasting Corporation search.app/ow9ci

Greta Thunberg: "It's so weird to me that people are separating caring about the environment and the climate to caring about humans... There can be no climate justice without social justice."

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

What’s that? You only have $800,000 in superannuation savings? Gosh, how sad that’s still four times the median for 65–69 year old Aussies. And with a paltry $595,000 in savings can generate a “comfortable” lifestyle in retirement with $51.8k in income a year. Perspective, people. #auspol #SMSF

8 Ways Musk and Trump Could Inflict Pain on Each Other www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u... Go for it guys. Take each other out.

Feels like there’s a karma story in here somewhere apple.news/A5mwRQGp2Tg2...

ANU VC made a serious allegation against NTEU ACT division secretary today on ABC radio, totally unchallenged. Asked why the VC hadn’t met with the union head, Bell claimed Clohesy screams out front the VC’s building for the VC to rot in hell. Gobsmacking allegation. It’s untrue.

Everyone who lived under Soviet Rule will recognize this Masked thugs - the American Gestapo

New: We're disappointed that @derbyshirecc.bsky.social has introduced prayers at council meetings. A backwards and divisive move which will alienate many in Derbyshire's increasingly irreligious and diverse community. www.secularism.org.uk/news/2025/06...

No offense to anyone, but if you don’t instantly see how straight-up evil the Trump administration is being here you weren’t raised right This man isn’t in a gang, has no criminal record, was never charged with crimes pre-Trump, and everyone involved in this *scam* well knows it

It doesn't just legitimise the person (which is bad enough) but it legitimises the race-to-the-bottom behaviour and culture.

Declassified Australia exclusively reveal that at an NT Defence Week presentation in Alice Springs in May 2024, an Amentum speaker stated the company is contracted directly by the US Government, and “employs roughly 400 people” providing services to the Pine Gap. #aupso ...

Absolutely no evidence presented here that the 20% of EVs amongst cargo had any bearing whatsoever on the fire, so basically the story here is a car transporter caught fire and nothing further is know.

Aside from posting CSAM on Twitter and getting away with it after personal intervention from Musk, Dom Lucre is one of the QAnon clowns who accuses Tom Hanks of being a devil worshiping baby eating pedophile and here he is getting the red carpet treatment from the New York Times

Since Vittoria coffee priced themselves out of the market (was getting Fairtrade Organic beans at $40kg and often $20 on special) now up to $64kg and haven't had a special in ages - so now testing alternatives. Which is a shame because it's good coffee, but some promising ones at half that price.

Hey David Littleproud MP, You just said on ABC News that you "support science" in regards to Australian biosecurity standards, FWIW I agree 100% with you Just wondering why you don't "support science" in regards to climate action? I'll wait 🐝 #auspol

Former PM Scott Morrison should be in front of the NACC - not getting a King's Birthday Honours Award. Upside down world #auspol

ℹ️👩 Look out. A misinformation campaign has begun in NSW about the use of the abortion pill in order to create a moral panic about it.

And to think, Canada could have been a part of this well-run real grown-up country for the low-low price of $61-billion for a missile defence system that won't work
