Important thread. There's a petition link to protest Everglades Auschwitz near the end of the thread.

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

Facts matter.

And in your final year, your super grew from $2,861,301 to $3,017,016. So it went up $155,715. How much tax would you now owe due to the super tax changes? $60,000? lol $25,000?? roflol $10,000??? oh please. Cripes, only $1,000?????? Try $14.40.

Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes. They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year! Yep a $1.18m increase. How much extra tax? $1,528! OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Just got a message from a mate: “Can Peter Dutton get a ‘Goodbye From Country’?” 😂

Well, that was a pretty decisive Australian election result.

They came for the trans people. They came for the brown people (immigrant, citizen or otherwise). They're coming for the lawyers. You know how this ends.

Congratulations, Canada! You did it!

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Libs of TikTok would have been telling the Nazis where to find Anne Frank.

The US is not a safe place. Let's hope that this is not the plan for Australia when our opposition leader is talking about taking "woke" (i.e. research and policies that are anti-bigotry, compassionate, and justice oriented) out of Australian universities.

Now, then, forever

It’s hard to stay positive when shit is so fucked up.

The US GOP is attacking unis, academics, and free speech. I hope desperately we don't follow this trend in Australia, under an LNP that has vowed to attack "woke" universities. At least Hyeongsen Jeon was not kidnapped to a concentration camp in El Salvador. The US is a frightening place now.

Is this the sort of "woke" research that Dutton has said he wants to target? Interference in research is all about suppressing knowledge. Trump, Dutton & others do not like that us knowing things that challenge authoritarian approaches to society. Apparently that includes important health research.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

HHS has released a snitch form to report healthcare providers who provide Gender Affirming Care for youth. You all know what to do with this. www.hhs.gov/protect-kids...

Why is she talking about Abrego Garcia in the past tense?

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Peter Dutton also wants to get rid of "woke universities" in his campaign to be Trump-lite. Australian unis not only faced demands to comply from Trump, but has seen echoes of Trump's attacks on higher education from our own leader of the opposition. I hate this timeline.

I'm concerned that Mr Abrego Garcia may actually be dead. The US is running concentration camps in El Salvador and kidnapping brown people to them without trial. Are they also death camps? It's appalling to watch a once great nation descend so rapidly into a fascist dictatorship.

Appalling support of fascism for favours.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

Where is our humanity?

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

If your response to yesterday’s millions of people marching is that they were all paid operatives…you’re desperate, deluded, and scared. And lying.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

This wouldn't surprise me in the least—and would go a long way towards explaining how they came up with all the random little islands. *With thanks to @adamkinzinger.bsky.social for sharing it over at the other place. #TrumpTariffs

The Dow is down over 1500 points in a day.

Stop panicking. I have a plan. We all go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Musk and the broligarchy want the economy to collapse. This is great for them. They want to weaken and replace the dollar with crypto. Also, they don't believe democracy is compatible with capitalism. It's the Nerd Reich, as coined by @gilduran.com, who will be on The Left Hook Friday 1 pm ET.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
