Mohamed supports 13 people in the Al Mawasi camp in Gaza. Like many Palestinians they've been through the worst, they've fled assaults on the camp by the occupation, they've had martyrs. Right now they're starving & it gets more dire, they've not had donations they depend on in days. Please help!

Meet Pickles & Socks a beautiful bonded pair of sisters. They were sadly dumped in my neighborhood, both found under car hoods. They are approximately 2 months old & need a loving home together. Pickles gets very sad if her sister is too far from her. If you're interested, please reply

The SCOTUS decision giving an expansive view of presidential immunity was prior to the November 24 election of Trump. The American people knew that, and also that he incited a violent riot when he lost in 2020. They elected him anyway. Those who voted for him (or not at all) chose dictatorship

Compared to the past fortnightly National report, the latest report has:
😷More new fever and new cough
😷Higher self-reported influenza
😷Rising GP visits for influenza-like-illness
😷More severe hospital admissions (36.8%, #flu; 31.5 COVID-19; 31.6% RSV)
So clinical impact is increasing.

There has been a steady drumbeat of measles cases across Australia continuing into 2025. Most have been international travellers, but (at least in Victoria) there is confirmed local transmission and unlinked cases.
