And let's hope people don't just vent this to friends and family, but take to the ballot boxes en masse in the midterms. Not to mention the next presidential election. Not to mention impeachment. #USPolitics

Handy that the first live streamed US execution will be of a Muslim man. This administration is hell-bent on cultivating enemies, both home-grown and abroad. The future of Petie's war machine depends on it.

You’re worth $20 billion but instead of having a great life, doing productive, beneficial stuff you have to scheme and lie in order to dominate a political system. You poor, sick, deeply unhappy woman. I hope you find peace before your inner turmoil harms us all

How is it that a politician doing standard politician things - opening childcare centres, repairing roads, improving budgets, supporting families - can seem like such a novelty in US politics? Such a breath of fresh air.

TRIGGER WARNING In 1943 Japanese officer Chikao beheaded Australian POW Leonard Siffleet. Australia demanded justice for this war crime. BRS is charged with killing a handcuffed Afghan POW. Would those who argue BRS should not be tried have said, 'I stand with Yasuno Chikao'?

Fifteen people indiscriminately murdered and a community in mourning. Australia's response is to unleash the jackboots on a citizenry begging for a kinder, gentler world. Chris Minns and Anthony Albanese, this will forever be your shameful legacy.

Albanese supporting social unity by inviting a man who signed bombs that slaughtered civilians is such a baffling example of stupidity that it could be considered a conspiracy. It's not. He is just an idiot without values, who wanted power without change. He should stand down. He is unfit to lead.

Labour parties around Australia were formed because colonial governments kept shooting striking workers who were protesting. Chris Minns and his draconian anti-protest laws are a disgrace to the history of his own party. #auspol

5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father Adrian Conejo Arias are documented immigrants and suffering in a concentration camp. All the while the "pro life" Trump regime is basking in their torture. They did everything right and by the book, and still they were hunted down like animals. This is fascism.
