“They love you…The homegrowns are next” — Trump says to the man refusing to send back Kilmar Garcia. He jokes with the room about people being held hostage in another country, trafficked, held without due process - because of his actions. We are no longer leaning into fascism — we are there!!!

Trump’s harboring even more animosity toward President Zelenskyy. It’s been horrific for years, and last night’s 60 Minutes interview with Zelenskyy has added to Trump’s antagonism. Trump’s buddy Putin started that bloody war, and the world knows it.

NYT: "The White House scoffed at the prospect of returning a Maryland man who had been mistakenly deported, despite court orders urging it to pursue his return." I'd like to draw your attention to the word "urging." Courts don't "urge." That's not how courts work, NYT. Stop laundering his fascism.

Jacinta Price and Jane Hume used a private jet to attend a “cost of living crisis meeting” in July 2024. This is what Jacinta Price sold out her own people for. Wealth, power and privilege.

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Volodymyr Zelenskyy should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Can you just imagine the temperament he has had to show to stay on focus and stable for the world to see. Who wouldn't want him as a leader, regardless of whatever happens.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

This is the 6th election in a row where I've pretty much listened to every press conference and the questions being asked. And cripes some journos who have been there the entire time, really have not improved.

If you bring your kids into the campaign, you’ve got to expect the questions. Is the multimillionaire Dutton stumping up for the deposit, or is he too bloody mean?

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

Maybe Dutton should run for NSW parliament, because he doesn't seem too concerned about anywhere else. Minister for Western Sydney? WTUF

The best way to boost housing supply is to build more houses Labor’s plan to build more houses is good, but it’s not new and it’s not radical. The Defence Housing Authority has been building houses and renting them out/selling them on for decades More is good! www.youtube.com/shorts/Pfq2O...

No trial. No timeline. No escape. What do you call a place like that? A prison camp. A concentration camp.

Trump folds like a little bitch every time things get real. And MAGA still acts like he’s God’s gift to politics. He’s not a leader—he’s a loud coward with a fan club of fools.

Words mean nothing. The truth means nothing. Shame means nothing. Career politicians can say anything and do anything, then start again the next day as if nothing in the past is real. The US has shown us the madness this leads to. We can vote to end this nonsense. #Climate200 #Greens

I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely gotta let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

All of this! And drop it with the reciprocal tariff. It’s a tax on American consumers, and a crushing blow to the few American small businesses that somehow survive it.
