Holy hell. Abdul El-Sayed just ended Trump's name calling game. He turned the insult around, Saudis, Qataris, jet and all, and closed it himself. "Call me Senator after November."

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.

The problem with the U.S. economy during the Depression was not lazy workers and that isn't the problem today. What we need is a government that works for everyone, not just for the wealthy and well connected.

White supremacist leader called them “shithole countries.” Racist hatred is the entirety of the Republican platform. VOTE accordingly.

Trump: "Libya, Hemen, Haiti, Somalia -- remember what I called them? Shit house countries."

This cop chased two women who had allegedly shoplifted diapers; gun drawn. When the mother lifted up Kohen to show the cop she had a baby in the car, he fired - killing the baby. Shoplifting charges were never filed. Mississippi ruled the shooting “justified”.

Now prosecute him‼️ Resignation is not accountability. #JusticeForKohenWiley

We don't base our laws on Egyptian, Greek, Roman or Norse mythology. When will we stop defending Israel's atrocities based on Jewish mythology or writing laws re women's healthcare rights based on Christian mythology? #religion #politics #USA

If Trump wants to take a leaf out of the Putin or Xi playbook, look up the chapter titled: “When the oligarch who has grown fat on government largesse gets too big for their boots, take the following steps….” #auspol

The drawn-out war in the Middle East has enabled Woodside to significantly increase gas prices, which The Australia Institute estimates has driven the company’s profit up by around $1.3 billion in three months compared to the same time last year. Read more on our website!

The Australian PM is lecturing us to "turn down the temperature" on rhetoric which may incite violence. Here is actual violence, brutality and crimes against humanity that his allies, US and Israel, routinely perpetrate. Yet Albanese says nothing. He just turns up the hypocrisy. #auspol

"What is the book that will be written on #AnthonyAlbanese 's prime ministership?" #FranKelly, host of The #RadioNational Hour, recently put this question to veteran political journalist #KerryO'Brien. The former 7.30 host's response was characteristically blunt. #AUSPOL #Neoliberalism #Albo

Reading the Speers bit this morning only served to turn my temperature up. Absent is any mention of the media's role (hi Newscorp 👋) & the impact of attack ads funded by billionaires (hello, Clive, Gina 👋) Do yourself a favor - read something else, #auspol

"The reason for Pete Hegseth, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump’s Iranian conflict, which seems without end, and in the process wreaking untold global damage, has not been properly documented. Its primary cause is not military threat but religious nationalism"

Yet another in the thousands of stories of people who've immigrated here and blessed Aus with their hard work and determination to make their own lives, and those of their community, even better by generously sharing their culture and food with everyone while employing local people. #AusNews #auspol

Dear @theshufflediary.bsky.social Re: the attack on #HelenHaines Has our mainstream media reflected at all on their own role in this? It would be interesting to hear a Charlie Lewis #SpinCycle timeline on this. How much hate has been promoted by NewsCorp? It's not just social media. #auspol #media

If Albo is serious about turning down the temperature he will finally take himself and his government off X. If he doesn't, he's not serious.
