What ‘work’ has he actually done? Has he achieved anything he claimed he was going to do? Why is he going anywhere on Air Force 1? Do Tesla even want him back? In think it’s too late to pull your head in now Mr Musk. Nothing YOU can do will save Tesla now. #tesla

An Autism registry being compiled from private health data by this administration is NOT good. Registries of people with disabilities have been done before…

You know when you’re a kid learning to swim and the teacher keeps saying ‘you’re nearly there’ but keeps walking backwards away from you? I feel like that’s where the US is at. If he does x then it’ll be a dictatorship, then he does x and there’s a slightly new ‘but let’s just wait and see’.

This is a turning point. If there is no recourse for not adhering to the rulings of the supreme judicial court, then what even holds society together? Blind trust that people will ‘do the right thing’ doesn’t seem to be enough.

The majority of ‘Christianity’ has become completely performative. A way to feel superior to other people while behaving hatefully to others. It’s wielded as a tool for personal progression with no actual substance.

“Peter Dutton has no ideas of his own, no plan for Australia, just half-baked ideas imported from the US” We really cannot afford to let Dutton get any more power than he has. Hopefully Ali France or Ellie Smith can knock him right out of parliament. #keepduttonout #auspol #AusVotes25

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:
