Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

No matter what, it doesn’t look good for Bluesky T&S.

Also, hey! I reported that account with the username calling for genocide of transgender people, and it’s still in existence.

So there’s a definite problem wrt how Bluesky T&S is applying their policies.

Greta deserves the #NobelPeacePrize, not some fascist orange fuckwad.

The only thing that would make me happier than watching Greta Thunberg humiliate Benjamin Netanyahu would be her name being announced this Friday as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.

Israel deports Greta Thunberg and 170 other Gaza flotilla activists

The activists were were detained when Israeli forces intercepted boats trying to breach its naval blockade of Gaza to deliver aid.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

More compassion and courage in her little finger than the entire worldwide political body.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

The NDIS algorithm is on the way, and no they don't want you giving them any evidence about your disability. In fact, they are going to make it next to impossible. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

Algorithm to be used for NDIS plans

The government is using an ‘instrument’ designed by the University of Melbourne to reassess support payments for disabled people.

Just finished listening to this and I bet there are very few Colleen Taylor's left at Centrelink.

The difference, I think, between RoboDebt and this scheme, is that it's targeting disabled people and if there's ever a cohort that the vast majority care less about than the poor, it's the disabled :(
