Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Worse than horrible

Oh yes, there has to be a built in grift.

Also feeding them fast food and soda for lunch. Wow, where do I sign up?!

This is so on point!

Let’s not forget that he’s paying seat fillers…in trump coin.

“Liking” this feels very wrong but I wanted to acknowledge your post.

The US participating says all that needs to be said really. I presume it’ll be a MAGAt, as nobody sane would agree to do it.

That’s gold!!!

I’m so sorry you’re in this position. I’m sure it’s absolutely terrifying. It’s so unfair that other people can refuse to do the right thing and then put people like you in danger.

That’d be like preaching nutrition to a single parent on jobseeker in Australia (living well below the poverty line).

an enamel fern in trans colours on silver metal. Its stalk curls over to wrap around a necklace chain

An enamel fern in the colours of the trans pride flag, hanging from a silver chain by its curled over stem. It's on a backing card that says Trans Fern by Canopy Robin. Glow in the dark. Did you know that most ferns are homosporous? This means they produce onlye one type of spore which germinates to be both male and female during the plant's reproductive phase.

enamel pins of the lesbian and gay man flags with trans pride chevrons on the left of each design

If anyone fancies a trans pride fern pin/necklace, I'm still about 150 sales away from breaking even on making them 😅 In slightly brighter news though, I'm now only 10 away from breaking even on the trans-inclusive lesbian and gay flag pins!! canopyrobin.etsy.com

WTAF??!!

Yep. Kids bring home everything from school and it spreads to the whole family.

This is just ridiculous. Protecting a child’s health is just as, if not more important than education. You can’t learn if you’re dead.

I’ve completed the survey. Thanks for the heads up.

Pacific workers face 'appalling' housing, fear deportation if they seek medical care, inquiry told

📢 An inquiry into modern slavery has heard harrowing tales of migrant workers living in overcrowded and "unliveable" accommodation, and of injured workers too afraid of deportation to seek medical care.

“Clear consensus was reached that the impacts of COVID-19 infection on children should be a research priority, and additionally on the need to determine the effects of Long COVID on societies
and economies.”

Democracy Sausages. Prime Beef Snag (looks like Albo) “Recent improvement in flavour but will leave you a bit hungry” Nukewurst (looks like Dutton, slight green aura) “(No detail of content at time of publication) Coal notes but leaves a bitter aftertaste.” Country Pork Barrel Banger (looks like David Littleproud) “traditional and meaty.” Vegewiener (gnarly lumpy whiskery thing) “Lots of fibre. Palatable with enough sauce. Mildly laxative.” Trumpet Baloney (Pudding-shaped sausage looks like Clive Palmer) “A little bit of everything and none of it is nice.” The Ipswich Saveloy (looks like Pauline) “A bit fishy but irresistible if you’re desperate.” The Teal Meal (looks like nobody in particular but smiling sausage) “Locally sourced, sustainably produced, a popular alternative.”

The seems to be a persistent trend by the LNP here!

Peter Dutton says he will never stand in front of the Aboriginal flag as Prime Minister. I think we should vote to ensure he's right. 😏 #auspol #AusVotes25

I just had a mthrfckng cricket in my bedroom. Do you know how hard it is to see those fckrs at night on dark tiles & even darker carpet? It’s dead now, but there’s no way I can pick it up to bin it (cricket phobia) so I’ve had to throw tissues on it so I don’t accidentally step on it (in bare feet).

Now that all our super funds have tanked thanks to Trump's tariff madness, we can console ourselves that we can live in abandoned Tesla's when we retire

Dear GOP,
Your wait and observe approach is NOT working. Pretend you are a nurse or physician. Your patient aka the country is already on life support. Death is imminent if you do not take action NOW to rein in this monster. Stop playing footsies with him and stand up for America. You can do it!!

Plus he’s threatened to run a candidate in the next election against anyone who crosses him. They’re way more concerned about losing their jobs, and the power that they refuse to use to defend democracy, than they are about doing what their constituents want.

Nobody, that’s the problem. He just gives the courts the big middle finger, ignores the law and does whatever he wants anyway. Congress does nothing to take back their power and just bends to his will. Until they grow a pair nothing will stop him.

Attention White House:

Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.
