Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

RFK Jr is dehumanising autistic people to promote his anti-vax populism. Better to be autistic than a sociopath.

BOOM!💥 The number of @bsky.app users just hit 35 MILLION!!! 👏 LETS KEEP GOING, LETS MAKE BLUESKY THE BIGGEST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM ON THE PLANET AND SEND MUSK, ZUCK & TRUMP PACKING! LETS DO THIS!

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Couldn’t give two flying f-bombs if politicians “believe” (🙄) in climate change or not. If you do nothing to help, keep promoting fossil fuels, & enable all the corporatised crap that inhibits climate action, you are still a denier & you’re in our way. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Far-right politics won't give young, lonely men what they want. Education is expensive. A young woman with an education debt won't choose to marry and have children she can't afford to. A young woman with no tertiary education typically works longer hours, so she knows the value of a dollar.../1

DUTTON: We’re going to cut 41,000 jobs from the public service. SPEERS: Where from tho? DUTTON: We haven’t made any plans. Literally said the bit about “we haven’t made any plans”. #leadersdebate25

The nuclear submarines of the AUKUS agreement were negotiated by… Peter Dutton, in the Scott Morrison Liberal government. #leadersdebate25

A tip off arrived a while ago. A BIG one. "Amelia Hamer is a named beneficiary of a trust worth millions." But is it true, and what does it add to the mounting deception from the self-styled millennial renter? All is revealed in this thread. /1

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

Interesting research. The sainted father of the Liberal Party, Robert Menzies, July 1939: "Hitler has proved himself a great man and a tireless worker. He dragged his nation from bankruptcy and revolution, and I think he has too much intelligence lightly to cast them back into another war." Oops.

19 women murdered so ar this year by men. Crickets from all politicians. #Femicide #UselessGovernments #OldWhitePatriarchy

Ever wonder why a narcissicist doesnt discuss his "supposed" most HEROIC day....

It drives me crazy. To dare to talk about protecting the Earth when all you're doing is a PR stunt that pollutes the equivalent of a decade of a Westerner's life who already pollute a lot. I love space exploration, but space tourism for selfish rich people is a cancer.

Australia must break ties with U.S. on defence https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/australia-must-break-ties-with-us-on-defence,19629?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=IA_Feed #Auspol

As mother of a 27 yo son: "An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said,"Take him anyway." Sent to a concentration camp in EI Salvador. Just 19 yo. Life in prison. How can anyone, who proclaims to be a US citizen, live with this outrage?

So when Angus Taylor was spruiking his dodgy costings for nuclear on 7.30 just now, he couldn’t even get the basic arithmetic right. He literally said that ‘7 nuclear reactors at $20 billion is about $120 billion.’ And he wants to be the next treasurer! 😳 #auspol

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.
