...and every sane Australian lets out a sigh of relief that we won't have to say "PM Dutton". Hoping to see a number of good independent and green candidates to hold Labor to account. We need change, let's not fuck it up and follow the US please? #auspol #putoutyourpotatoes

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

"Green hydrogen" where? 10/10 for panache but the only hydrogen that exists in any scalable way right now is blue. It is not yet sustainable at all and it's a bit nuts to be hearing this as if it's something real that can be built tomorrow. #wyalla #auspol
