🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.”
When we say "No Kings," this is why.

Mark Carney has called the shemozzle that is the international rules based order for what it is. Canada has taken the sign out of the window. Your move Albo! #auspol
🇨🇦 Mark Carney's Davos speech is the blueprint for 21st century leadership we desperately need. He's charting a 3rd path between superpowers: strategic autonomy through partnerships, not subordination. Australia must seize this same opportunity. 👇 #auspol

Dear Western media,
Helpful list of words and phrases to use in your reports on the US action:
• illegal
• attack, bombing, invasion
• abduct, abduction, kidnapping
• breach of international law
Words matter. Facts matter.
You're welcome.

Watch them YouTube chefs line to flog what AliExpress sells for <AUD 50 (~USD35). The “secret” with carbon steel is your burner strength and how you grease the wok before cooking. But nothing beats knowing how it should taste in the first place! LOL
Lol yes buy their $150 Sweden-made wok to unlock the key to authentic Chinese cooking.
I think I am done with this brand.

This is a time for the nation to heal yet many on the opposite site of govt - both current & former operatives, are making this a political game. There will be an appropriate time for recriminations just not now. Voters must remember not just the event but how our leaders have responded! #auspol

Why can’t we legislate this in Australia? I mean seriously, the amount of space taken up by car parks would make this really sensible and will help bring some needed shade to our cars during hot summer days #auspol

Yesterday, the Victorian parliament voted to enact a statewide treaty with its First Peoples after a long day of debate that stretched into the night. A really good forward step on the pathway of reconciliation - now the test is to see it in action. #auspol

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.”
This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Trump wouldn’t call the National Guard to stop an out-of-control insurrection that led to the violent invasion of the Capitol, with Congress huddled in fear behind locked doors and under tables.
But he’s sending an invasion of armed Guardsmen to DC to…defend against…hoagie throwers?
