šŸ‘€ There are reports Labor may adopt the Greens 'GP for free' plan tomorrow! I hope they do: it will make a huge difference for people struggling to afford healthcare. Pressure works. This is what voting Greens delivers: we keep Dutton out and get Labor to act.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Itā€™s a cult.

3 years after Russia's invasion, Ukraineā€™s fight is the worldā€™s fight. This war isnā€™t just about territoryā€”itā€™s about sovereignty and democracy in the face of tyranny. Abandoning Ukraine means surrendering to brute force. Slava Ukraini!šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

When you consider that the men who orchestrated the gutting of reproductive rights knew itā€™d kill untold numbers of women and nevertheless worked really really really hard to make sure those rights were taken away and those women killed, Iā€™d say they should definitely be seen as having a body count

Trickle up economics.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that Iā€™m Puerto Rican šŸ˜‚ they want to threaten me with it so bad šŸ˜‚

No, but if youā€™re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trumpā€™s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side theyā€™re on. Now.

"There was a protest at a gas conference, and the next day, the South Australian Parliament changed the law. The next day they criminalised protest. "If protest was ineffective, why would they do that?" - Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social at our #ClimateIntegrity Summit 2025 #auspol

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, ā€œMAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,ā€ before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

ā€œAt least Russia has electionsā€ Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, thatā€™s fine. Just admit that. Donā€™t insult anyoneā€™s intelligenceā€”including your ownā€”by claiming Russia has real elections.

This is the guy the big parties want us to share AUKUS nuclear powered subs with. Who turns on a dime to attack allies without conscience or truth, rewriting events, careless of all the lives lost & wounded by a tyrant leading an illegal invasion. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I think the guy made himself look like a Nazi šŸ¤” by changing his name to Trump.

Iā€™m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Good to see Trumpā€™s claims about Zelenskyy being described in news reporting as ā€œfalseā€. We have a duty as journalists to make this clear when claims being made by politicians are demonstrably and undeniably untrue. Particularly when politicians are ā€œflooding the zoneā€ with incorrect content.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

As a Gen-X kid, I believed the American Exceptionalism mythology. As an adult for the past 30 years I thought we could move toward "Liberty And Justice For All," and care for all our people. But watching this small, cruel man dismantle it all as Americans cheer, it's so clear how small we are.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
