Rusted-on to morality, decency & human rights. Democracy is pretty damn ok too when it works. Still waiting for the most wealthy 1% to end world poverty TODAY. Keeper of the Laura Tingle shrine. Typos are a given these days because I am often Very Angry.

Who ever thought this could be a ‘good idea’? It’s so out of bounds for Australian circumstances I don’t even know where to start. Do the work on monitoring & prevention & don’t open the door to military grade weapons on the streets. No one wants to be saying ‘I told you so’ in a year. #auspol

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

“Today a determined Hunter Valley community group won its 4-year legal fight over a major coal mine expansion and it could have huge implications. The High Court ruled that the emissions from burning the coal overseas had not been properly considered when the Mount Pleasant expansion was approved.”

Just got home from Politics In The Pub with David Shoebridge💚 It was packed. New membership numbers are through the roof. The biggest issue discussed was AUKUS, & US weapon stockpiles near our town and others, making us targets. Amazing to see so many people resisting the Lib/Lab/ON war party.

One Nation says AI is coming for Australian jobs then used AI to make their campaign video.
They didn’t hire an Aussie videographer or Aussie editor or Aussie actors.
Turns out it’s only ‘Australian jobs first’ when One Nation doesn’t have to pay.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

It’s making me think of my 94yo mum who, to this day, has refused to use a mobile phone or computer. We bought her an ordinary phone on a base station so she could at least carry that with her, but no - she just glares at it if it’s taken out of the cradle & puts it right back 🙂
