Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. Maybe you've heard the word a few times this week.  But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic. Watch. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=Jr_pgtBwYmHNvjuj

Electric Feel…🌺

Say it with me. RFK Jr. is killing children.

Democrats need Zohran Mamdani and other young politicians with fight in their hearts and rage in their bellies who can show that Trump is bad for working people and terrible for America and the world, and who can point the way forward. Robert Reich

91 millionaires paid no tax in 2022-23.

A long and -- at times -- brutal week. But we continue to fight for democracy with hope and determination. Thank you to everyone who has offered kind words of support on this journey. More soon. Goodnight.😴

god damn he's cooking

Just having a listen to the #SpinProof replay from y’day with Cheryl & Noely - & thoroughly enjoying the chat again. One of our many topics - China, the US, AUKUS & Noely’s comment ‘as it stands at the moment women are better off in China than the US’ 😳🤔👍 #auspol

Man accused of posing as ICE agent in order to rob man. That sort of thing can happen when you have a man in the White House posing as a President in order to rob the entire nation. #USPolitics #ICE #corruption

This is very welcome from Starmer. There should be a reassessment of the policy as well, but the language was particularly horrific and it's good to see him recognise that and step back from it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The IDF claims it is the “most moral military in the words”. Yeah, & Ivan Milat was a saint. If people treated animals as Palestinians are being treated, there would be much more done to stop the cruelty & murder. I’m continually disgusted at western countries who watch it happen & do nothing.

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

Starmer's whole episode as PM is a mess. Who's running Blue Labour? What do they want? What does Starmet want? Where's the journey going? What do they want to achieve? Since the day he won the leadership and stabbed Remainers in the back, there's been no narrative. No truth. Just unpopular populism!

Another Aboriginal death in custody "not suspicious". Police should never investigate police. 💔

Good. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I miss having a human president.

Bernie to Dems:

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Israel complaining about another country bombing a civilian hospital is almost as sadly ironic as Israel bombing another country for developing nuclear technology.

If we’ve reached the point that individuals the government doesn’t agree with have to be arrested, what about this group outside the Houses of Parliament this morning protesting that targeting children in Gaza is a red line?

I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour. Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines. The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering. The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

Who is against these policies? Are people so far gone that they prefer their taxes pay for corporate welfare and massive pointless bombs over education and transportation?

This country is thoroughly screwed for at least a generation. People haven't taken stock of how much damage has already been done. 2026 and 2028 won't magically fix this. It's going to be a long walk.

"Whenever one person stands up and says: 'Wait a second, this is wrong,' it helps other people to do the same."

If you’re on the cover of @bylinetimes.bsky.social it usually means uncomfortable critique. This month it’s Mark Zuckerberg’s turn for scrutiny by @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social for his role in Alien-nation.

Rinehart says net zero is "magic pudding," and only those who want to cut emissions should pay | RenewEconomy share.google/SQHcFaTYbfAX.... #Auspol Born into wealth, self entitled and Australia's richest women would rather destroy the planet than pay Taxes and help fight climate change.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Dinner party with the neighbours

Labour will lose the 2029 GE. And that loss will in turn lose them future GEs. Image how furious voters will be at Labour for ushering in Reform when a different future would have been possible if Labour had only made better choices. (Think LibDems and tuition fees, only raised to the Nth power.)

Very few people, when discussing the cost of living and how it's evolved over the decades, mention the fact that 50 years ago it was common for only one parent to work and now it's much more usual for both to work, yet what they can buy has if anything gone down despite two salaries rather than one.

Labour have played their first year very badly. Voters were at their most attentive after the GE. The end of 14 painful Tory years, and the novelty of a Labour government. Even people with no interest in politics paid a little attention. But Labour used that time to paint a hugely negative image.

Men try convincing the world that women are the emotional ones but who are the one’s who lose their minds when they are rejected, start wars and contribute to the mass majority of violence and crime? Pretty emotional if you ask me.

IPAN's open letter urges the Australian Government to not allow the US to use our territories or facilities to contribute to Israel and the US waging wars on Iran and Gaza. Pine Gap, North West Cape, air-refuelling facilities, airfields and ports. You can add your name. ...

Hitting the 🔨 on the nail!!!!

#Auspol The world needs to bring back a version of the yellow vaccination book to get a Visa. We must do our best to protect our kids. If people need boosters because they no longer have proof, so be it.

You know, Europe has lots of Democratic Socialists in their parliaments. Oh and free national healthcare.

Hegseth is exhibiting his "angry drunk" (Alcoholic Rage Syndrome) and/or Intermittent Explosive Disorder on the world stage. Is this an embarrassing for the US? 100% – But infinitely more important is that, as the American Secretary of Defense, his behavior and mindset brings us closer to war.

A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I understand sugar coating isn’t useful, but I reckon positive stories like this do make a difference. Humans need to be seen. We need encouragement and hope. Kids doing the job our politicians won’t. #AusPol

Australia could have linked up with this revolution, but we were too timid and too stuck in the past. #AusPol
