Took a train across Australia Upside: these views Downside: three days with boomer Aussies who consistently failed the ‘don’t shoehorn racism about aboriginal people into every conversation’ test

Young workers in Australia are compensated mostly based on their qualifications. Since girls outperform boys in all levels of education, the gender pay gap for young Aussies reversed. We know from dating platforms that women prefer to date men that earn more than they do. Who are they meant to date?

Peace plans cannot solely be relied on to address grave abuses in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. 30+ years of escalating repression of Palestinians as "peace processes" played out made that clear. Trump's plan is no substitute for urgent action in Gaza.

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists. RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Big deal (and not unexpected): U.S. intelligence community assessment of Venezuelan TdA gang connections to Maduro regime "stand starkly at odds" with Trump assertions in #AlienEnemiesAct Proclamation and at odds with DOJ claims in court filings! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
