For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Bezos pays his employees so little that they have to go on welfare -- while Bezos prevents them from unionizing to get better pay. The system is rigged.

If a politician can’t work out why their party is unpopular with the public, they need to go and ask the public, listen and learn. Ruston’s admission that she asked AI why the Liberals lost is another piece of evidence for why the Liberals lost - they have no idea.

0.5% of the population have more than $3mill in super, and only the balance above $3mill is covered by the proposed changes. They will just move the money into shares that pay fully franked dividends and get a massive tax credit for tax they didn’t pay. No tears for those obscenely rich

Obviously would have liked to have seen a larger cross bench - but overall very pleased we soundly rejected LNP’s division, cruelty & ideological policy making. Now Labor can choose to be the party for the people - or for their donors & factions. We’ll see #auspol

LNP's costing's today, Angus Taylor & Jane Hume, a plethora of figures you can't check in a hurry & a bunch of lies. Here's one: Taylor: "Everyone knows inflation's up under Labor". He knows that's a lie, it doesn't deter him. If he lies openly now, what will he do in govt? Don't trust LNP.

Albanese: “Peter Dutton sat in that (chaotic coalition) cabinet room for the entire time of 3 different PM’s… & he didn’t once sit there & think to himself..”gee, why haven’t we got a housing minister”?” Half of the 9-yr coalition tenure- they didn’t have a housing minister😱 Truth.

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: 

I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets.

The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Animals in a slaughterhouse pick up the scent of fear, hear the anguish, feel the free floating distress and anxiety and they smell death. They can tell long before they get there
