Anti-vaxxers, and notably the current US Secretary for Health, are putting us all at risk. It’s a sad state of affairs that the Aust Govt has had to warn travellers twice in the past week about the risks being created by the current US administration.

Antiques Roadshow special to trace history of nursing During the episode, Fiona Bruce learns more about the nurses and midwives that inspired Call The Midwife.

I happened upon @roadshowpbs.bsky.social Antiques Roadshow which traces history of #nursing today. Such a terrific program about #nurses the care they offer and the difference they make every day. Check it out on ABCiView.

Aussie cafe imposes 'tariffs' on US over Trump's 'schoolyard bullying' When Ukraine's president faced a fiery meeting with Donald Trump at the White House, his plight struck a chord with a couple 16,000 kilometres away in rural Australia.

Binalong NSW cafe applies a ‘tariff’ to all US products it sells, with the proceeds to be directed to organisations providing aid to Ukraine. Time to step up, Australians, and say no to bullying and the offensive behaviour and economic damage being imposed on us all by the Trump regime.

Misinformation and disinformation are a plague. My views, along with others, in this @croakeynews.bsky.social article.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.
