Sussan Ley should get a real job and stop mooching off the tax payer.

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway...And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness! —Anne Frank

And just like that, 40+ years of teaching and leading in NSW public schools, that’s a wrap… ‘heartfelt’ message from my employer…

Many people thought that the government doesn’t impact their life much so the election was about choosing between a candidate helping people they don’t like or one who’d punish people they don’t like. The FAFO moment is that lots of things people take for granted depend on government competence.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Why would anyone consider visiting the US right now?

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’ Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist. But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Strong women! You know who you are…

Gotta love kids! Still trying my best to encourage opening of windows in classrooms, I have a ‘virtual’ WindowWarrior award at school. Everyday I choose 2 classes who have opened their windows, without being reminded, and I announce the winners over the loud speaker. Today’s WindowWarrior awards

Counting how many disabled friends we have lost from community over the last few pandemic years - from my circles, it’s dozens. It feels like an apocalypse. A shadow disaster that nobody sees any more.

Good advice (the last one resonates for me) 😌

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

These are just the statements on record. Do you trust these people, #auspol? Whose songsheet are they singing from?

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

“You should have never started it.” Such ignominious ignorance. Such betrayal of our ally. Such a cowardly surrender.

Perspective - Which do you prefer? Continuing Welcome to Country short speeches/ ceremonies around the country at community events large & small… Or A flash yet slavish Royal junket down under with old Chuck? I know which I would put my 2cents on!

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A century later, it's Germany sounding the alarm about a dark malevolence spreading across the world. The harbinger of darkness this time...is us. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”

Another Lebanese-Australian targeted. Silencing artists, writers, & thinkers isn’t just censorship—it’s an assault on democracy. History shows that when creative voices are muzzled, terrible things follow & flourish. What are these lobbyists so desperate to hide? artreview.com/australia-dr...

Stay alert and engaged. President Trump is using chaos; swift executive orders, attacks on diversity, and unchecked authority, to push his agenda. 1/2

It looks likely RFK Jr will be confirmed to lead HHS. It’s a death blow to public health, but we are NOT powerless: Update your vaccines Stockpile meds Obtain extra birth control & EC Wear a mask! N95 or better will keep you safe from many contagious illness We can help save each other

Update to my outdoors acquired Covid infection - Day 10. Initial acute symptoms of stuffy nose, asthma flare up, chest infection, headaches, fever, aching all over and lethargy have eased and I’m no longer showing +ve on RAT. BUT… I have renewed energy in the morning, until I eat,

How does one write apocalyptic fiction during the actual apocalypse? Asking for a friend*. * I'm that friend

And Speers would be gone

The ABC continuing their recent practice of punching themselves publicly in the head. For an organisation dedicated to avoiding any or all controversy at all costs, this has to be one of the greatest own goals in the Australian national broadcaster's history. Who is pushing this? #LattoufvABC

You know after I saw that T cells dipped due to C19 I said I’m expecting TB prevalence to go up. Guess what’s happening… in multiple locations…

Well an idea all of us can do

Disabled patients have a right to safe healthcare. When we ask staff to mask, we aren’t “entitled”. We’re advocating for our lives. We’re trying to protect our baseline. We’re asking for the respect we deserve. We can’t “just stay home” from the hospital. Masks should be mandatory.

All I would say here is, why wait for the election.... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

@albomp.bsky.social has taxpayer funded lawyers lined up in the ART to prevent public access to a report on where to locate an #AUKUS high level radioactive waste site. I’m fighting his #secrecy, and think I’ll win. But having a 👇Plan B👇 is never a bad idea. #transparency #FOI #auspol
