Seems a drastically under-reported story of the whole Trump catastrophe.
"To date, 757,314 people – the majority children – have died from the funding cuts, according to ImpactCounter, which tracks the effect of USAID cuts via sophisticated modelling tools. That is 88 deaths every hour."

I am more and more concerned at the apparent inability of what remains of an Australian federal government to make independent decisions and listen to their voters rather than wealthy vested interests and the hugely #biased and #US - #Zionist oriented & extremely #racist media. #auspol
The Australian govt ties us more closely into the US-Israel genocide network. #auspol
Spy company Palantir has won top-level Australian govt security clearance despite involvement in Gaza genocide. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social investigates #auspol

If Greens support this fascistic bill and enshrine Zionist capture, it will destroy them. Your voters will see sellouts and cowards caving on our liberties because you're not up for the fight. Because you're scared of getting yelled at in the newspapers. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social

When Zionists are done purging free thinkers from Australian public culture, we'll be left with the most moronic, pathetic, racist, humourless, cowardly bootlicking stooges and little else. So yeah...... I guess it won't be that different after all.

Buoyed by Maduro's capture, Trump names four places he could hit next
Donald Trump is talking about where US forces might venture next. But one of his cabinet secretaries could provide the clearest clues.

Several parts of Australia are likely to face the worst heatwaves since the 2019/2020 bushfires.
Volunteers and underpaid frontline workers will step up to help communities.
Meanwhile, in just one year, the Australian government gave $14.9 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users.

Can confirm. Does my fucking head in.
Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard.
Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist.
Repeat until the sun explodes.

In the name of “social cohesion” Zionists will soon have their own exclusive armed special forces on Australian streets, in addition to special oversight of Australian media, arts, culture, and education by way of the Zionist envoy, Jillian Segal. Cool and normal.
