"Canstruct, which has previously been linked to a series of donations to the Coalition, was paid $1.82 billion to run Australia’s asylum seeker processing regime on Nauru for five years up to late 2022, making at least $450 million in profits."

An Aston Martin, fine art and a yacht: Police probe millions spent protecting detention company luxury
Police suspect the company, which made significant profits running offshore detention, may have misused public funds, as a senior official claimed the Nauru government shook down Australia for money.

What's really happening in LA? Looks pretty different to the news reports which focus on rubber bullets and tear gas.
I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

👇🏽This is really wild . An actual climate change clarion call
OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

And "get tough on crime"

After two strong years, Dutton is suddenly wobbling. But there’s a way back
Peter Dutton’s worst month as opposition leader began with a fundraiser and ended with a referendum and a limp wrist.

This is so fucked up
The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.
