Nazi Musk and repugnant MAGA influencers tried pushing a lie about James Talarico receiving psychiatric treatment at a certain facility and the facility confirmed that he was never a patient. Their smear campaign has failed spectacularly and he should sue them all for defamation.

Nothing says MAGA quite like defending public executions in order to defend their criminal tyrant. Those fake christian conversative family values are showing again. 🧐

The International Court of Justice demands that Israel return the occupied territories, including Jerusalem, and pay compensation to the Palestinians. I know it won’t make a difference but at least ICJ is on the right side of history!!!

This should be condemned and considered as a potential crime against future generations. It’s not as if Aus governments are ill informed- this is wilful. And it’s not as if the 2020 fires are distant memories - remember 3 billion animals affected !

Live streams of executions. I can’t even fathom the depravity of a nation or a person that wants to see such a thing. That it’s part of a societies “justice” system, makes me wonder about that society. Not a good one. A very sick one. 😔 #auspol
