There were cops present, watching & listening to the nazis as they broke laws around hate speech & inciting hate. Were they instructed not to intervene .... with bats, pepper spray & arrests .... like they do with climate change or anti genocide protesters??
What instructions were they given ??

In the Nationals' territory of NSW Northern Rivers, there is a feeling of betrayal: "We fear summer. It’s hotter, wetter and more oppressive each year. Even the sound of rain makes us shudder."

Donald Trump refused at attend COP30.

Anthony Albanese, Australian Prime Minister, also decided not to attend COP30 even though Australia apparently wants to host COP31 2026. Questions are being asked about WHY?

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.

This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.

As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.
