If you want to understand why progressive people don't believe in the Labor Party anymore, here's a prime example. Julian isn't interested in justice, he's interested in being comfortable. Equating spreading race hate with opposing genocide should be unforgivable. Centrism is a brain disease.

Laura Tingle is a national treasure - a widely respected political commentator. So why would the ABC place her at the far end of their election night panel and give her so few chances to have her say? An insult to Laura and frustrating for viewers. It makes not an atom of sense.🤨

Perhaps Albo will feel secure enough to start growing a spine now.

For the sake of the nation and my own peace of mind I'm fervently hoping to wake up on Sunday to a minority Labor government.🙏

This coming Saturday let us do our country a great service by casting our vote for a progressive cross bench with a minority Labor government.🙏🙏🙏

Cast my (progressive) vote at early voting centre yesterday and was disgusted to witness number of boomers holding LNP ‘how to vote’ handouts. Hard not to have contempt for their ignorance, bigotry, and greed #auspol

Me to every Nazi cunt that wants to ban Welcome to Country! #auspol #ausvotes25 #LNPNeveragain #qanda #TemuHitler #abc730

Listening to ABC radio Perth news bulletins they’ve repeatedly led with negativity towards the issue of welcome to country. No other issues from the leaders debate were mentioned. They’ve quoted Jane Hume & Barnaby Joyce. Sanewashing Dutton. Whitewashing racism. It’s dog whistling! Stop.

I do much the same. You can simplify the process by getting hold of the Pauline Hanson or Clive Palmer tickets and reversing the order…

Worth a very close read. This is why it is either a minority government or kiss your arse goodbye to global heating. #auspol

Morning Bluesky. A draft Executive Order seen by the NYT suggests the US is about to abandon Africa, which would be a big win for Russia and China. The drastic overhaul of the State Department would eliminate almost all African operations and close embassies and consulates.

Totally agree - nor will they (the humans) ever be truly happy in their own skin.

As long as humans have not learned to respect animals and empathize with their world, they will not have found their true purpose on earth.

American citizen held for ten days in lockup after being picked up near the border. He didn't have ID. Ten days! news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

Sending people to foreign prisons isn’t a debate about immigration policy. Telling private universities who they must hire and what they must teach isn’t about antisemitism. Destroying the economy thru tariffs isn’t about revitalizing American industry. It’s all about power and domination.
