An entire (wealthy) generation deliberately locks out the next generation from being able to participate in what Australia is meant to be, then ponders why those people won't die enthusiastically to defend their rooftop solar panels (that were made in ChiNa)

Australians are losing the will to fight – here's what that tells us

A study measured the willingness of Australians to fight for their country if under attack. Just 52 per cent of Australians said "yes".

ICE casually shooting a priest in the head with a pepperball for daring to speak to them

He clearly posed ZERO tactical threat

I fear, Blue friends, if you want to restore your Constitution, you're going to have to start 'shooting back' bc they're already shooting at you

Yep

They want you to quit caring. Flood the zone with so much much bullshit, it becomes overwhelming

It's strategy. Doesn't make it easier, of course. But despair is what they're going for

Whether the question you're asking is what has happened, the fact that it can be legitimately asked is enough to freak out. That thought would have been and always should have been absurd to even think about. And now it's a reasonable one to ask and that's not the country I want to be a part of.

After we retake power every one who ever worked there or visited must be investigated and thoroughly interrogated. Electronic records such as phone and vehicle GPS records. We know these NAZIs are using Signal Chat to hide their wrongdoings. Any and all cell tower pings near should be investigated.

One US State invades another

If this ISN'T a civil war at this point, I'm not sure what constitutes one

Deb Cares 4 Iowa @debcares4iowa.bsky.social · 1d

Today the governor of Texas has sent troops to invade and occupy Illinois against the wishes of the People of IL & its governor. This will be the first time since 1865 that troops from the former Confederacy make an incursion into a Northern state.

Are we really beginning the SECOND US Civil War?

"Everything possible" is highly subjective, subject to change, and a guarantee of literally nothing.

I think it's the Victorian version of this pin. Not 100% sure but it's pretty close and matches the pin elsewhere.

He's on record as saying he thinks "Ivanka is hot and if she weren't his daughter, he'd probably date her"

That's his own daughter he's talking about 🤢

So, I'd say no
