Hey @albomp.bsky.social - explain why it is so important to have an alliance with a fascist regime that murders people on the streets, separates families and sends kids to concentration camps, and deports people to countries where they have no connection ...on the basis of white supremacy? #auspol

There is "a troubling pattern playing out across the country as bars that cater to the LGBTQ+ community say they're being locked out of their Facebook and Instagram accounts with little to no transparency as to why." Gigantic hypocrisy from a corporation pushing dangerously antisocial algorithms.

BUT trump is only interested in creating a war so complex & messy that he will have to cancel elections, so that he never goes to gaol. Americans need to lie in opinion polls so he thinks he will win the next election, & his minions will win mid terms THAT'S how to end the war in Iraq.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
