MAC089

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

'ditching the new vehicle efficiency standard' They're really keen on making sure that Australians pay more for petrol, aren't they?

Trump is total scum.

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

Republicans don’t want students to vote, but please don’t let this stop you from making your voice heard!

It has taken decades of work and funding to make Islamophobia almost the last tolerated bigotry. It’s unutterably dangerous. But it serves a range of purposes in making Muslim lives *value* less, and their resources free to steal. See the game. theshot.net.au/uncategorize... #Auspol

Bizarre. Don’t they know the RBA raised rates at the end of September???

"All it takes is a government with a modicum of courage. Where on earth are we going to find one of those ...?" Certainly not one with Albanese at the helm. Let's put up the GST instead! /s

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

Okay if Kim Jong Un is ACTUALLY dead the same week that North Korea is the villain in that stupid new "Call of Duty" it will in fact be hilarious

Georgia: 40% increase in first-day turnout compared with the 2022 midterms, and more than double the first-day participation seen during the 2018 midterms. "Early ballots in North Carolina and Maine are up 38% from the last midterms, while Iowa has seen a 61% increase" www.kark.com/news/early-v...

Roses are red. Tires are flammable...

What we know about the Ilhan Omar investigation and the raid on Trump critic's home

Fair enough. It’s time to stop the bots!

New figures in - Australians still hate Trump's USA, but like Canada live.thepoint.com.au
