Absolutely 100% die trying. Because what is the point if we don’t?

(And me too, thinking about it too much!). 😊💙

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

How does that even happen? It’s not like spell check is going to change the correct spelling to the *incorrect* spelling.

You’d have to work hard to be this incompetent.

This is fucking insane.
Apart from a very specific group of people (police, ‘sport’, shooters, army, farmers) NO ONE needs a gun here!

Why is this allowed? I thought we were different. I thought we were the ‘good’ example.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

Technically we have more, the next largest is The Greens, then we have a some smaller right wing parties and independents.

But to all intents and purposes we have a 2 party system, Australian Labor Party (currently in) and the opposition is the Liberal/ National party, or the ‘Coalition’.

Right back at the beginning, they mistakenly sent him and when someone admitted it was a mistake, that person was fired.

Everything else after that was abusive prosecution because they didn’t want to admit their mistake.

Disgusting. There’s never just one child either. 😡

In Australia our Liberal party (that’s the actual name of the party, commonly called ‘the libs’) is actually our right-wing party, comparative to the US Republican party.

Our Labor party should be left-leaning but it seems it has been dragged to the right as the libs have moved further right.

Watching in horror at the multiple-car pileup that has already happened while also seeing that there are a whole lot of cars here in Australia going way too fast. 😢

Must be so embarrassing for him, knowing how disgusting, soulless, abusive, and hateful of people and the planet you’d have to be to revel in that title. How repulsive.

It’s an outrage that *any* public money goes to private schools. A true governmental disgrace.

Why should people who can’t afford private schools be funding rich people who can? It’s so backward.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Waiting for him to say “That’s not my lane, I’ve been busy doing [insert whatever]”.

Which is his usual lie when he doesn’t want to admit knowing something.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?
