Yesterday I signed a bill to return 3,400 acres of land to the Fon du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa - a joint effort between the Tribe, the state, and the University of Minnesota.

I like this image for the accuracy of its message. Don't pretend it's anything else.

The Albanese Labor Government has just given the Federal police $200 million, as part of the new 'AUKUS Command' force. Today we learnt this is solely to protect US and UK submarines. Australians paying for the protection of the US military, that's AUKUS.

Hey @markbutlermp.bsky.social - I am giving you an open invitation to come see my daughter with Down Syndrome and then you can tell me to my face that it will be good to cut her social, economic and community participation funding by 25% (heck the explanatory memorandum gives an eg of 50%).

Yeh I just watched it happen live. This is wild. The President of the United States has full blown Dementia and the nuclear codes.... oh yeh and started a War he can't escape.

It’s embarrassing, and honestly it’s starting to look like Idiocracy could see the future.

If you have the full support of an ailing empire led by a decrepit psychopath, then nothing is protected except maybe his own current and future income.

300 children as young as 10 have been funnelled in Northern Territory prisons in the last 5 months.

Happy Trilobite Tuesday! This diminutive Eoharpes was uncovered from the Czech Republic’s Sarka Formation. Its bright colors are mostly due to the presence of specific minerals, which can replace the animal’s calcite shell over the course of millions of years.

What a heartwarming interaction. They both have stories but this is so touching. abcnews.com/US/paralympi...

Sorry. My @smh cartoon.

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Ballot paper. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This is something you will never hear on Fox, Newsmax or any other rightwing channel.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

I miss the interaction and engagement i had before being brutally limited 😔 by @bsky.app It is kinda surreal when someone replies to or reposts one of my old shared posts and I see how fun it used to be .. Ah well.. #difficultwoman #inconvenient

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

That's weird; he told reporters he had nothing to do with the fund. Now he's saying he gave up a lot of money "allowing" it.

Wasted - $693,000,000! And a national security fail as a capability gap is confirmed. But if you’re thinking someone’s going to get fired over this, don’t hold your breath. #SNAFU #AUKUS #auspol

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

Remember when Congress UNANIMOUSLY passed an act forcing release of all Epstein files and to explain all redactions? This entire admin is breaking the law. Lock THEM up!

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

The US has became the worst country on this planet.
