We can all help break the cycle by responding to every act of hatred with an overwhelming, visible show of love and support. www.theage.com.au/national/we-...

Every time the prime minister and sports minister insist the spending was within the rules, they should stop for a moment and remember that the minimum wage in Australia is $948 per week. Wells charged taxpayers more than that, on more than one occasion. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

If you wonder whether these comparisons of Trump to Nazis go too far, remember that Hitler was present in the German political scene long before he created the first death camp And at that point, he was calling Jews “vermin” Which-of course-is not dissimilar from Trump calling Somalis “garbage”

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

When politicians disrupt SNAP, they endanger 5 million older adults in the program. A huge number of people living with Alzheimer's disease or a related cause of dementia will go hungry. If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention #Alzheimers #dementia #hunger #SNAP #CrueltyIsThePoint

#Melbourne feels angrier…more brittle. We’ve gone from a community that not only valued difference but celebrated it, to one that too often condemns it. We are quick to label, slow to listen and far more inclined to shout someone down rather than hear them out. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
