This week Peter Dutton suggested cutting school funding in an attempt to stop ‘wokeness’, but was unable to define what ‘woke’ means.

My husband & I went for eye checks & the optometrist called him in first, even though he scheduled the appointments so l'd go first, & if you know anything about Luke you'll know this will make him feel guilty for at least a week so it’s an ideal time for me to bring the weirder renovations I'd like

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

At a press avail, President Trump was asked about why he would ask NATO members to up their contribution to 5% of GDP when the US doesn't do that, and he said, "They're not protecting us, we're protecting them."
The only time NATO invoked its mutual defense pact was after 9/11, to protect the US.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.
Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "DEIAtruth@opm.gov."

This clip by Zack is on the longer side but very worth watching til the end imo. It discusses steps you can take in your own space when it feels like hope is low and resistance is desperately needed.
