Note that the masked paramilitary cowards in ICE aren't going into dangerous neighborhoods to get gang members. They are going to restaurants, public parks and courthouses to abduct line cooks, nannies and asyum seekers following the rules. Pathetic goons calling themselves men.

@bradlander.bsky.social: Trump "is trying to destroy our empathy. That's what authoritarians do... We've got that Statue of Liberty out in the harbor saying, send me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.... That's what New York City is built on. That's why I love it. And he hates it."

“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

“Where is it? Where is the warrant?” Watch NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander detained at an immigration court⬇️

This morning I commit to advocating for the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage #DoIt

I see the Alexander Downer Starship Band is doing a greatest hits tour. Here’s one from our 2003 album “Those Brown People Got WMDs”

Murray Watt ‘personally lobbied’ Unesco over barring of WA rock art from world heritage list. He says the report on the Murujuga petroglyphs has been ‘clearly influenced’ by environment campaigners. Another ALP Ministerial failure. What a c*nt ! #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

It's well known that the military deployment in LA is about creating a crisis; the military itself says they're basically doing nothing; 5000 troops, 1 man detained. Doesn't sound like there's much 'saving LA from DANGEROUS INVASIONS etc' going on🙄 Here's another 134 mil of 'waste, fraud & abuse'😡

Clergy have refused to call the police when they’ve identified crimes, responsibility has to be forced on them. #VicPol #AusPol

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

“It seems quite ridiculous to suggest that young people who can’t afford to buy a house should be worried about the feelings of much older people with $3m in superannuation,” @richarddenniss.bsky.social speaking to news.com.au about our superannuation polling. #auspol

Israeli soldiers used 80-year-old Palestinian as Gaza human shield: Israeli army forced elderly man to scout buildings with an explosive cord tied around his neck, before he was later shot dead along with his wife. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

ANU leadership downplayed 400+ signed letter from staff & 95%+ vote of no confidence in leadership among Union members. Chief Comms Fanner likened the vote of no confidence to a North Korean election. Yet the ANU refuses to release staff sentiment data. 🤷🏻‍♀️ www.canberratimes.com.au/story/899301...

New lawsuit needed - this is nuts. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

The Frencies giving Trump a brilliant FU with full one-fimgered salute! Love it!!

They're really trying to WMD our butts into supporting the mass-murders of countless more brown people in the Middle East again. I wouldn't accept this type of hackneyed recycled bullshit from my entertainment, why would I accept it from my political propaganda?

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Every now and then, when researching taxation policy, I remember this headline

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it. We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS. ✍️ Add your name: theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry

We, the people, have spoken!

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
