Especially when those same billionaires don’t pay their staff a living wage eg Amazon, Walmart; treat their staff appallingly and fire essential workers eg Musk; and openly say their software could kill us all so they want govts to regulate (to remove their responsibility and liability).

This is a fraught issue. In my book, grade 11 students discuss using banned book lists as their TBR, lol.

yesterday i looked up the location of usa aircraft carriers: two close to Hormuz, another on its way and a 3-ship fleet of marines set sail recently too. IMO trump is going to kill more people because he’s angry and to try to get a win before the midterms.

I hope ICE shock themselves LOTS. Then maybe they’ll think twice. Prediction: ICE hold down victims, shock them, then learn why doctors yell “clear!” before administering shock treatments. Also, I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when an ICE agent uses a urinal and accidentally shocks himself.

I see more reasons to tax the top end to remove excess wealth from the economy. The gall of a millionaire public servant forcing ordinary Australians to pay more to banks to control the excesses of the wealthy is brutal and unfair. There are better ways #insiders #auspol

Apparently measles‘ death rate is 3 per 1000 so, with reported deaths at 4, there are probably a lot more unreported cases. Babies are being born with measles.

best info I can find: USS Washington and Bush and associated fleets are just outside the Strait of Hormuz. The USS Roosevelt, its fleet, and a 3-ship fleet of marines appear to be heading that way. Prediction: Trump will order a massive strike before the midterms to claim a victory & it’ll backfire

OMG Tasmania is already suffering because of salmon farming and that DAMNED AFL stadium. DON’T DO THIS TO TASSIE. FYI Hobart’s weather changed after they dammed Lake Pedder. The east coast is often too dry. A lot of their electricity is hydro-generated, if AI data centres consume the water…??

sounds like the Newcastle Knights tragedy was stupidity not terrorism, which I think is the lesser of two evils. Also sounds like no one died, although some - including two kids - were SERIOUSLY injured. Drive safely. #Newcastle www.youtube.com/watch?v=QULM...

Affordable healthcare, education, rent, a living wage, etc IS WORTH SO MUCH MORE than a one-off payment of $5000. Even if they win, bet they won’t pay up. They have to find a billion or so dollars to re-fuel the Nimitz right now.

Democrats need to learn from Mamdani instead of opposing him, his policies, and other Democratic Socialists. Democrats should have celebrated enlisting the support of the likes of David Hogg but apparently they told him to conform or GTFO, with is the party’s cancer.

1. adults without kids can afford kids’ toys. The same isn’t necessarily true for families with kids. 2. I enjoyed watching tv with my kids, reading the same books etc so I could talk with them about shared stories. I don’t usually consume stories younger than YA now, but I understand why others do.

Apparently Kushner isn’t happy about people talking about him and his grifting as some kind of minion for Trump. I saw a screenshot of Kushner saying he’d start to answer back. My questions: has he rebutted accusations of grifting, corruption etc? If so, were his claims based in fact?

I think the photo is manipulated BUT Psaki reported that the arena holds about 10,000 AND WAS HALF EMPTY. In 2015 she said Trump FILLED a much bigger arena IN THE SAME CITY. This is, she says, a visual record of his decline.

Just talked with a lifelong Republican in the Delta Sky Club at LaGuardia who was heading home to Dallas. He told me he’s voting for James Talarico in November. His words about Ken Paxton: “He’s corrupt as all fuck.” And he said he’s “ashamed” Paxton is the GOP nominee.

apparently in France students are required to be at school from 8am to 6pm, there aren’t enough teachers, classrooms are unbearably hot, there aren’t enough resources etc. In some places, TEACHERS STOOD BETWEEN POLICE AND PROTESTING STUDENTS. Students have called for more resources for teachers.

University of Canberra had a serial rapist professor. They didn’t remove him from staff until AFTER he was sentenced, it was in the media. The Uni claimed me talking about this was violence. The magistrate explained to the uni that a) it wasn’t confidential (MEDIA) and b) TALKING IS NOT VIOLENCE.
