Recording police is β€˜violence’? Absolutely not. Now the Trump administration is trying to destroy the right to document police by labeling it as an attack

How did we reach a point where the media has determined that two foreign leaders should decide whether Aukus should continue?

Our sovereign interests are FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO DETERMINE. What Trump and Starmer thinks is entirely irrelevant.

Our issue remains, is Aukus worth it? The answer is clear.

Everything’s been such a struggle. Getting out of bed, reading the news. I’m painting again to try and soothe myself. Some nights it works; tonight it’s no good.

What's so shocking here for me isn't even that he does drugs, it's that his judgment is so warped he apparently does these heroic doses of a powerful psychedelic before a life-altering presidential press event.

Like, you couldn't pay me to go to a Wawa in a state like this. I would be petrified

We are urging leaders of civic and other major institutions to defend free speech amid the Trump administration's "multi-front assault on First Amendment freedoms."

A very good thing. Those who can’t cope with the ALP and LNP not getting all the first preference votes need to learn to count past 2.

3 Criticizing a government that carries out war crimes is not hate. It’s obligation.
If your politics can’t confront genocide, then your politics are trash:

No more money.
No more bombs.
No more fake neutrality.

You are either against genocide. Or you are part of it.

Now pick a side.

Combative NDIA’s β€˜appalling’ impacts In its efforts to cut costs, the agency running the NDIS has taken an adversarial approach that has left participants exhausted and independent reviewers appalled.

National Disability Insurance Agency's legal brinkmanship is back with a cost-saving fervour and emboldened by significant legislative changes. But tribunal has accused them of ignoring potential harm, belligerence and an adversarial approach against duty. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/economy...

Happy birthday to @barbrastreisand.bsky.social, whose 1973 fundraiser kept our co-founder Daniel Ellsberg’s legal fight alive long enough for him to win.

She kept Dan out of jail for leaking the Pentagon Papers; now we’re continuing his fight to defend whistleblowers.
