Thread on the CDC assault.

Extremist violence is the elephant in the GOP’s big tent.

Attacks span the nation’s federal workplaces: Oklahoma City to rural Oregon, Atlanta to Capitol Hill.

Real leadership condemns senseless violence targeting civil servants.

GOP leaders’ silence in fact whistles.

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

Fri 08Aug25 1am, a small group of masked neo-Nazis marched through the streets of Melbourne CBD. I'm not sharing any images, video or even the news media headlines bc I don't want to give them any publicity. Cowardly goons, marching in the middle of the night, wearing masks. 🙄 #NoRoomForRacism

Let’s celebrate their heritage, learn from their knowledge, and stand together for their rights.

"We're called RACIST just for saying we're proud to be British!" 🇬🇧

Reform UK was created to make Brexit happen.

Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer.

Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer.

ANYONE WHO STILL BACKS REFORM IS A TRAITOR TO THE UK!

In London yesterday,Police arrested 480 people including a retired Army Colonel, son of Holocaust survivors, a blind & disabled man,a 90 year old woman with Parkinsons Disease, consultant surgeons, & other medical professionals, & a huge swath of OAP's

All accused of terrorism🙄

The law is an ass

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

Just a reminder.......💙💛

Tech leaders are so smart that they can't figure out that their money is useless on a dead planet.

As the financial crisis of 2008 gripped the world, Australia gave each tax payer $1000. The strict instruction from our government was to get out and spend the lot. The outcome was Australians did not suffer anywhere as much as the rest of the world.
Proving your point.👏👏👏

If a poor person has $1,000 they put it back into the economy. The rich won’t even notice a $1,000.

I do not understand this about the oligarchs & capitalists: They actually make more money & live in a better society when the working class is making a living wage & the government invests in infrastructure, healthcare, education, environmental protections, etc. so why are they against these things?

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Because you needed a video of a group of cute guinea pigs eating watermelon... You're welcome #bluesky 😊

They fled Haiti and work America's most dangerous jobs. Trump plans to deport them. After being recruited by the world's largest meatpacker, they faced grueling conditions on the line. Is the worst yet to come?

They fled Haiti only to endure brutal working conditions at a Colorado plant run by the world’s largest meatpacker. Now they face deportation.

Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn’t be allowed to vote The repost on X from the US defence secretary illustrates his deep, personal connection to a Christian nationalist pastor with extreme views on the role of religion and women.

Pretty sure the 70% of the world who are NOT Christian and the 10 million Australians who have "no religion" ( 2021 Census) will not be coming along quietly.
Time to see the US as a rogue nation - not worthy allies.
Time to abandon #AUKUS

Hatred isn’t just evil and destructive; it’s also very expensive

After 3 massive election wins, including a landslide victory AFTER the Covid lockdowns, it’s pretty clear that the only ones STILL angry about Dan is News Corp 🙄🤣🤣🤣

EXCLUSIVE: Segal's "husband" donation claims a sham - The Klaxon The nation’s Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal — who claims to have “had no involvement” in her husband’s “donations” — has been donating with him for decades.

OMG! 😱 A work/life balance moment!!

Let’s get workers back into corporate owned real estate asap so bosses can watch their every move and dock their pay for every minute of slacking off! 🙄🤦‍♀️

Murdoch’s anti WFH campaign only reinforces why we absolutely need WFH laws

That's right folks. GEO Group (Aust) is subsiduary of GEO Group (USA) who run over 10 US ICE detention (concentration) camps.

GEO Group also has a contract worth millions that Victorian taxpayers pay for, to operate the Fullham (Sale) and Ravenhall (Melb.) prisons.

Yep, Aussie taxes paying 4 ICE.

This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.
