AOC on Epstein Files: We need to get to the bottom of it. It does not matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, or donor. We are talking about sexual crimes and trafficking.

Labor’s refusal to join even Canada, the UK and France to condemn Israel for demolishing UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem shows Minister Wong has completely given up the pretense of caring about aid to Palestinians.

This young fella is a legend. Must have been so incredibly emotional let alone tiring.

Nearly 90% of jobseekers unable to get long-term work despite millions spent on private job agencies

If we had a genuinely reformist, economically savvy Govt, surely they would dismantle & replace the whole Howard-era rort of privatised unemployment ‘services’. Jobseeker indeed..

The problem is not that women are too angry. It’s that way too many men are not angry enough about women being killed by male violence.

This is intentional division One Nation are pushing. Looking around our communities and deciding people don’t belong because they look different is a step before what ICE is doing. It’s seeking a future where we see enemies not friends and neighbours. We will always oppose this.

The Australian newspaper continues its campaign to undermine climate action. Science? Why should we believe it? This belongs in the comments section of conspiracy theory groups on facebook, not the national 'newspaper'.

Shouting this from the rooftops!

Australia is missing its climate targets, running structural deficits and facing weak growth. A new policy blueprint argues that pricing carbon pollution could cut emissions, raise revenue and support households and businesses, Michael Keating writes. #auspol #climatepolicy #budget #energytransition

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.   Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.   They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

I asked this yesterday. Still asking. Our major institutions, our media & our politicians appear no less compromised or complicit in the cover-up to be honest. I used to hate any suggestion of conspiracies, but it really is getting harder not to see a massive one going on here.

Meanwhile, Labor continue to stall on regulations that would actually work and prevent serious harm. This is laughable stuff 👇 – journalists need to use FOI to find the voices of dissenting Labor MPs! "Frustrated?" Cry me a fckin river.

The fact that our current government is crawling all over themselves to protect these files and now knowing Putin is mention makes the "Russia Hoax" just as much of a hoax as these files. Putin is running the United States.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Hope Rises As Massive Crowds Protest Trump’s Abuse Of Power, AOC Calls For Pam Bondi’s Impeachment, and Arrested Journalists Remain Defiant Against The Regime

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Not long ago, they made movies about being stranded on an island signaling distress. Now they’re outside a large continental city signaling distress and PM’ing our island for refuge. Makes you wonder.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Dr Assal Rad— “They’re still trying to convince you that killing kids is “targeting Hamas”. “For the millionth time, “Israel says” IS NOT JOURNALISM.”

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes. Right?

"Why aren't media as outraged about the Perth bomb attack as there were over the Bondi shootings?" Dude, they aren't even as outraged as they were when Adam Goodes threw an imaginary boomerang.
