One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

Interesting that Trump hasn’t yet bothered to appoint an ambassador to Canberra. Shows we’re pretty low priority. I imagine he’ll get around to finding some moron car dealer from Sphincter, Kentucky who stumped up for his campaign…

There is no Broad Church in the LNP. There is only Dutton and a pack of weak leftovers who have nothing to add to our progressive & modern Australian society. All the LNP has to offer is more hate, division, corruption, incompetence & grift. #auspol #DuttonTheDud #TemuTrump

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

What's the single most perfect sound a human can hear? I think it has to be the wind rustling through the trees when there is no other noise around.

A child wrote these lines using my poetry prompts, and I can't get over them: "Once when I was clear I looked up at the sky and I saw the stars and knew I was a child made of love. I am still a child made of love."

Hey, elites, politicians, and those in power! Dystopian novels are 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, not 𝗵𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 for building the perfect state! You’re not supposed to read "1984" or "The Handmaid's Tale" and think, “𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦.” 🙃

#resist #poliart Please stand up for political cartoonists around the country as they are starting to be pushed out for their content and/or due to "needed cuts". Art has spoken truth to power throughout history and is one of the first things crushed in regimes.

“Delete” the CFPB & IRS.  Abolish bank regulators.   Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Musk-Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans. Don't let them get away with it.

Big Tech billionaires had a front row seat at Trump's inauguration. They were seated in front of Trump's own cabinet. Tells you everything you need to know.
