Some additional context concerning my previous post about Bukele's corruption. Specifically about his secret quid pro quo with MS-13 leaders and an answer for people wondering why he would agree to help Dump with his little Nazi project. Previous post 👇🏼 bsky.app/profile/nafo...

Colour me shocked that Ol' Dutts & Pup Paterson will roll out the red carpet for the disgraced Mike Pezzullo who - let's recall - was sacked after an independent inquiry made scathing findings against him that he'd misused his position & breached the Public Service Code of Conduct at least 14 times.

🚨25 women and have already been killed in 2025. 103 women and 16 children were killed in 2024. Men’s violence against women is domestic terrorism. Women and children‘s safety needs to take centre stage in this election yet neither major party has announced any additional measures.

Strength to all trans women today. The bigots are out in force, but always remember their hate says everything about them not you. Trans women are women, and a bigot is always a bigot.

Good! Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Just to be clear: ‘Biological woman’ is a meaningless term that RW bigots made up to try and sound credible. There’s no scientific basis to it. We are all ‘biological’ and ‘woman’ is an ancient word that originally meant ‘with man’.

Beautiful moon over the sea tonight. Zoom in 😆😁

It’s my birthday next week! My wish list includes radical action on climate change, a minority Labor Government pushed left by Greens and indies, and higher taxes on billionaires and corporations - but I will settle for a small donation to one of these two charities, both of which are close to my ❤️

Interesting new research about food choices and reducing emissions #publichealth #climatechange #foodsystems www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Liberals are putting Family First 2nd on their Senate how-to-vote. Family First will: – Allow religious schools to fire gay teachers – Deny women reproductive healthcare options – Strip rights from gender diverse people What are the Liberals doing?

Today Peter Dutton said the quiet bit out loud. He said he’d manage the budget like Tony Abbott did. That means tens of billions of dollars in cuts to health and education. #auspol #ausecon

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

The best news from the Finnish municipal elections is the crushing loss of the far right (True Finns). They remain in the government, however, so there is more damage to be done... but reason and sanity are on the upswing for now.

"candidate for dumbest policy decision of the 21st century" - Saul Eslake on the LNP's latest housing stupidity. But it's stiff competition amongst several of their 'policies'. #ausvotes #auspol #HousingCrisis www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Gorgeous eastern shore coastal walk in Nipaluna/Hobart this morning with a scary sky. We beat it back to the car park.

📣 Couldn’t cope with the complaints about no CBD shows and people not being able to make the six dates. I’ve added THREE final chances to see me in Melbourne this week. The venues are TINY! Full dive bar experience: Thursday April 17, 7:30pm Spleen Bar www.trybooking.com/events/landi...

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

"even on policies which the Coalition have allegedly released, the details remain such a haze of contradictions and backflips that most voters would struggle to know what they actually were." Bonus points to @latingle.bsky.social for "allegedly released". 😂 #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Malcolm Farr nails it. #Dutton is wishy washy with a very fragile glass jaw. #auspol #ausvotes25

celebrating genocide these people are sick.

owning a small business in 2025…

Peter Dutton had 3 years to get ready for the election and present a comprehensive policy platform. He and his team have failed their homework with a smattering of half-baked ideas and promises. They've not shown they're ready for government. #auspol
