Ugh Johnny Cash with his ill-fitting prison concert cardigans and his comfortable voice like a double bass that’s seen stuff shoes.

This smells of ‘they did it’ and ‘they thought it was ok to do it’.

If I were a Democrat looking at Trump, of all people, managing to get a peace process going while Democrats wrung their hands and sent weapons, I’d be burning with shame.

Thinking about how Liberal rebels like Hastie and Price are out pushing racism while Labor’s ones like Payman and Husic are opposing genocide, asking why we’re giving our gas away, and fighting for people on welfare.

Payman: Why are you maintaining a system that "The Labor *party* platform notes can be punitive, cause stress and anxiety, and can be a barrier to employment?"

Senator Jess Walsh responds by explaining that the Labor *government* believes the best form of welfare is a job 👍

Lmao the employment department has recovered 10.6 MILLION from providers due to fraud tip-offs over 3 years, and not shut down a single provider.

Reminder: They spend 4 BILLION A YEAR on this system, which is about 25% of how much they spend on JobSeeker payments each year.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

‘“Before Oct. 7, my thinking was, there are families there and there are people who want to live quiet and have their own life," she says. "But today, I don't think that anyone in Gaza is innocent." ‘
