💙💛 People take shelter at a metro station during Russian air attacks in Kyiv on November 25, 2025, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Powerful explosions rocked Ukraine's capital Kyiv, an AFP journalist heard, as the air force issued a countrywide missile warning early November 25, 2025.

in Albury Wodonga, our cross-border health service is struggling badly under a dysfunctional leadership team, which has created a toxic culture and led to a psychologically unsafe workplace.

Here’s a case in point - an underfunded, unwanted hospital redevelopment being imposed on our cross-border regional community by two state governments - instead of the funding of a new hospital on a new site that can service the health needs of a catchment of 300,000 bsky.app/profile/npet...

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

We cannot rest in the Albury Wodonga region as we are fighting for a new single-site regional hospital. This has led to a big swing against Sussan Ley in Albury, and we still don’t know the final Two Candidate Preferred count.

Keep watching the two candidate preferred count in Farrer - it only started yesterday, only 8% counted. There’s been a strong swing against Sussan Ley in Albury - our fight for a new regional single-site hospital in Albury Wodonga has been the dominant issue. We need equitable health care funding!

5.2% of vote in for Dickson, Dutton in trouble & couldn't' be fucking happier. Primary Votes - Lib - Dick Dutton - 33.5% - ALP - Ali France - 31.8% - Indi - Ellie Smith 14% - Green - Vinnie Batten 9% 2PP, ALP France ~55% Not over yet, promising signs... #Auspol #Ausvotes

Watch Farrer - the media hasn’t a clue but there will be a good swing against Sussan Ley towards the community independent Michelle Milthorpe. The Greens candidate is good quality too but was late to run

i’m of the view that it would be genuinely idiotic for the white house to invoke the insurrection act if it wants to stay in power. if you are going to call out troops to confront throngs of protesters, you need to be extremely confident that they will obey every order given to them.

"Think about what kind of person you have to be that you get caught lying [and] double down on the lie." I went on a rant about JD Vance, whose dishonesty is in some ways worse than Trump and Musk's. Full video: www.youtube.com/shorts/ftHmU...

World Autism Awareness Day: RFK Jr lacks the understanding that autism is hereditary. It’s more readily diagnosed bc of the advancement of recognizing autism’s presentation. RFK Jr’s compassion is a façade- He exacerbates the challenges facing autistics with his ridiculous conspiracy theories.
