Sorry I canโ€™t sign your petition Misty.
People like me from Australia know the abuse that has occurred in organised religion and those that have gotten away with their heinous crimes.
We support and admire your efforts.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social I so much appreciate your voice of reason. Please say a word for abused kids trapped in strict religions. No one seems to care ๐Ÿ˜ข

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The News Corp campaign for a royal commission is like pushing on a string - the other media just following their lead and Labor too cowed to push back. No rationale, no questions, no interrogation of the problems. The whole thing is genuinely stupid.

Based on the census data, Jewish citizens make up about 0.4% of the Australian population.

Muslims in Australia, represents 3.2% of the total population.

Christianity (43.9%)
No religion (38.9%)

This means 83% of Aussies probably don't harbor any bigotry toward either religion. #auspol

List of statements by Israeli officials cited as genocidal - Wikipedia

Pretty weird irony: the Very Serious People are proposing hate speech laws that stifle criticism of this kind of hate speech - to protect people who support or ignore it.

I honestly donโ€™t know whatโ€™s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

We see this everywhere now. Politicians spin tales that crumble under the weight of facts, yet millions cheer as if truth were a matter of popularity. Media empires profit from outrage rather than accuracy.

Murdoch has tried to the same thing to his country of birth.
He has no allegiance to anything except money and power.

I think itโ€™s kind of weird that you want us to follow all these people who never follow back.
You donโ€™t even follow back people yourself?

Australia's decolonisation runs aground When asked last week whether his government was still intending to reach for the goal of an Australian republic Prime Minister Albanese declared that he would not be progressing the cause while he was...

Terrific from Henry Reynolds on PMโ€˜s retreat from an Aust republic. Albanese โ€˜paid homage to our official head of state a hereditary aristocrat living on the other side of the world & who as a young man was complicit in the removal of PM Whitlam 50 years agoโ€™ #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

My recent Parliamentary Budget Office costings showed we could double research spending from the MRFF while keeping over $24 bn in the fund.

The government should use the fund for what itโ€™s for: improving Australian health research and innovation.

Curing a childโ€™s epilepsy is a remarkable, lifechanging achievement.

Wonderful to see Australian neurologists using AI for world-leading research.

Last year the Medical Research Future Fund turned down at least 1/2 the AI grants it reviewed.

Will someone recount one kind word
or brave, decent thing Charlie Kirk ever said or did? One principle he upheld? One bit of suffering he endured for one noble cause? one moment where anyone could think, ok, heโ€™s standing up for someone else? One instance of anything to admire? Just one?
