David Shoebridge scolds Labor, LNP & One Nation saying it’s a “disgrace” they’re voting against Thorpe’s bill to ban shackling of women who are giving birth in custody. “Ask yourself what you would have thought, if you…your partner…your daughter was shackled to the bed.”💥

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Colin Kahl went from being stalked and threatened by Israeli mercenaries at Black Cube (along with Farrow) to having to negotiate Ukraine policy with Elon Musk. He's a one-man example of how civil servants get caught in the fray of what the US is now: a mafia state in thrall to technofascists.
