Does anyone else see the issue? TAX the RICH

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

These dogs have no respect for the uniform, the flag or the nation. It’s totally improper to cheapen national symbols by using them as political props. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sexual preferences Lyle Shelton is the crab louse of Australian politics… In his entire career, the only thing he’s won is a campaign not to drink recycled sewage. He finally found a cause more unpopular than himself - consumption of human excrement. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/edit...

LET’S. DO. THIS. 😎✨

Is the world suffering from #StockholmSyndrome ⁉️ Have we been systematically and worldwide been captured by zionism to the point virtually no-one calls out Israel for their war crimes.

"Ignoring genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank can only be described as intentional. ...Both the Israelis’ actions and the discourse that accompanies them are too visible to be ignored, unless politicians, academics, and journalists choose to do so." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...

I read it…

This is how the "justice system" keeps women safe from violent men. It protects violent men from suffering meaningful consequences for their actions. #auspol #MVAW #MVAC #WTAF www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Dutton dressed as spam-

Almost every energy claim made by Dutton isn’t just wrong – it’s precisely opposite to the reality revealed by simple fact-checking

Latest Morgan poll has Labor vote increasing again. ALP 55.5% to L-NP 44.5%. On these figures Albanese Labor government would be returned with an increased majority. Amazing poll figures show Labor support increasing every week during the campaign #auspol www.roymorgan.com/findings/987...

Liberal candidate for Bruce in still more trouble. Liberal campaign in this winnable seat has been a disaster zone. www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

LNP leader Dutton has visited 10+ petrol stations recently for photo ops., (10!) but hasn’t visited a single one of his 7 proposed nuclear sites. Reinforcing, nuclear plans are a mythical, distraction solely designed to extend mining for LNP puppet masters. #Auspol #Ausvotes2025

Morning everyone. A video clip from February's SAG Awards just popped up in our feed, serving as a powerful reminder for all of us. In a world of Pete Hegseths, be a #JaneFonda. ✊️🙏

Peter Dutton, Australian Opposition Leader, walked out on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s apology to Australia’s Indigenous peoples, particularly the Stolen Generation in 2008. Now he wants to lead our country.

Andrew Hastie absolutely smashed by reporters for his views on women in the ADF. Insists it’s “Coalition policy” to allow both women and men but refuses to say he has personally changed his view or that he thinks women are capable. A complete mess. He should resign. #AusVotes25

Boofhead, Trumpet and Useless-all supporting each other!

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

"Children and women began arriving at the hospital with extreme injuries, including burns & missing limbs. Mustafa knew many would not survive the night." More empty words from Labor here & @australia.theguardian.com still refusing to write the word "GENOCIDE." www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Not sure it’s the answer Sky reporter Holly Stearns was hoping for when asking this Victorian elderly couple if they will vote for Peter Dutton, “I wouldn’t trust Peter Dutton as far as I can throw him.”💥🤣#AusVotes25

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

I realise that polls, even all of them, can be misleading but significant to note that @pollbludger.bsky.social has just clicked over to having the TPP worse for the LNP than at the last election.

ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February. If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine. Another reminder that xenophobia hurts all of us.

Why specifically China? Oh that’s right, they are his most important business partner.

I’m not afraid to go to the shops, but petrified to go to the petrol station; I might run into Peter Dutton. Alan Whittaker, East Kew @theage letters

The indie bookstore around the corner had this sign. So I went inside and bought 2 books from the banned book section. Support local small businesses. Read banned books. Drink your Ovaltine.

Mark Butler calls out Anne Ruston’s 88% bulk billing figure saying GPs have already called it “highly skewed” & “complete garbage” “B/Billing is at about 77% for GP visits. That’s 77% more than Dutton wanted it to be 10yrs ago when he sought to abolish b/billing altogether”🔥 youtu.be/z3gSs8Fq8Vo?...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... wasn't there supposed to be extensive consultation?
