You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them.
Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them.
The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.
Amid global concern over Trump's actions in Venezuela, Israel is bombing Gaza and Lebanon.
From Australia's consummate beacon of communication. Thank you, Ronni Salt, sublime.

It’s never too late to support reading. Evidence shows targeted interventions can lift literacy skills for older students too, writes Callula Killingly. #auspol #education #literacy
"We seem incapable of relinquishing the chronic anxiety about access to American power, protection and affection."
The Tolerant vs the Intolerants. The latter's need to eradicate difference continues to stun, corrupt and cobble the former.
Hoists and petards.

A part of my soul shatters to think that a small group can be so inconceivably callous, vile and morally corrupt. The destruction was a monumentally arrogant crime that said 'FU - because we can & did get off Scott free.' Shameful
So too, will Chris McIntosh 👏👏 @chrismcintosh.bsky.social

The return of Israeli hostages was clearly and understandably deeply moving for Israeli families. Given the extremes of circumstances between 'coming home' for Israelis and Gazans, the 'celebrations' per media, upped by the US President's repugnant grandstanding, were unwatchable.
A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.
This is beyond cruel.

Ludicrous. The NACC is supposed to be independent but Brereton keeps working for the ADF while overseeing potential corruption investigations about it?
The Kathryn Campbell conflict wasn't enough to demonstrate how costly and damaging this is? That mistake already cost the NACC $1.2m to rectify.
A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/a8WdJvUOOVFz...
"This isn't justice," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "It's revenge. And it should horrify every American who believes no one is above the law.”
Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."
Does Australia supply weapons to Israel? The government has consistently denied the claim and criticised “misinformation” surrounding exports, arguing it has “raised tensions in this country”.
So what do we know about Australia’s role in the F-35 jet's supply chain, and what constitutes a weapon?
This speech will be pass to posterity as one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking...😪😪😪😪💔

We have started the week with a debate on the "Defence Housing Australia Amendment Bill 2025" - a bill that seeks to build public housing for US troops. How on earth can this be Labor's priority this week!?

Spartan. Sublime. Excruciating.
The great contradiction of modelling is that you have to be really good at maths to run a model, let alone build one, and really good at economics to build one that makes sense in an economy is so grossly oversimplified. #auspol #economy #modelling
Why are we, the people, not enraged by this appalling and corrupt abuse of power by the 'majors'? How easily we ignore or at best forget the Federals outrageous collaborative 1st and last tactics in last term. Now SA! These are abominably corrupt acts of democratic bastardry.
