Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

Paladin Sports Rorts Robodebt Dozens more. The defining characteristic of LNP Govts over the last 30 years has been corruption. Why is anyone surprised by insider trading. It’s the amuse bouche of political criminality

I dunno…Maybe a guy who referred to having an STD as “My Vietnam” has no freaking business talking to someone fighting an actual war?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm convinced this is a genuine problem. The reality of Trump is so cartoonishly, comically awful that an absolutely neutral description sounds like a hit piece, even to me. So if you're at all predisposed to think of press as biased, factual reporting looks like some relentless vendetta.

I can’t pretend i’m not disappointed. 764 signatures and I am so thankful for every one and for all of the incredible Blue Sky peeps who have relentlessly shared & pushed. 24 days to go and we have to get a move on if parliament is to take this seriously #auspol www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

"When scientists develop arguments, they don’t say, 'Because I said so.' They say, 'The evidence shows ... ' Authoritarians don’t do that. They come up with lots of different strategies to prevent you from asking questions. They don’t give responses that answer them."

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him. It is dark stuff.

Creatives, listen up. I know it sucks. I know it's hard. But art isn't about making things when it's easy and good and comfy. Art is rebellion. Art is rage. Art is protest. Art is political fire. Write it. Draw it. Sculpt it. Build it. If you cannot find the joy, do it out of spite and fury.

Can see I’m going to have to actively spend time in the 🌱🦉🔭 feeds over the next few days. The clusterfuck that is US politics needs to be avoided at all costs. It’s infuriating, baffling, and nauseating all at once and in equal measure.

Class warfare is when there’s a limit to what poor & disabled people can earn before losing their benefits, but no limit to what billionaires can hoard while avoiding taxes. We must reject the twisted idea that money incentivizes the rich but poverty incentivizes the poor.

Labor state and federal governments just need to fund these facilities and services. It’s the essence of what Labor is supposed to be. This is why the party was formed in the first place, exactly this. #AusPol

As Christmas arrives in 2024 let us remember that at Christmas 50 years ago Cyclone Tracey hit and severely damaged #Darwin. The way that people of Darwin helped one another to recover and rebuild has been a wonderful example of how a caring community can operate.

CNN is cheerleading and sanewashing Trump’s international aggression. This is the equivalent of German newspapers cheerleading Hitler’s designs on Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
