Open letter to our Senators:
Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

Patriots fan from their first game, surviving the bad, the ugly and the very good. I'm ashamed for the team.
One message for you, Robert Kraft : fuck you pedophile-supporting, Nazi-loving scum.

Right now they're banking on the former. I'm serious. That's the strategy unless we cause hell. It's primary season. The people are enraged and we have the numbers. You have to bend the establishment to your will.
One lesson democrats need to take away from tonight is that they could squeak by without a mandate by running the dogshit candidate they’ve probably already decided on, or they could blast into the stratosphere by running someone who’s actually good.

I wonder if @australianlabor.bsky.social is thinking about its performance in the context of its thumping election victory and the reprehensible One Nation gaining ground so quickly.
They will think it justifies a further lurch away from compassion and decency. They will be very wrong. Again.

They need to resign now and beg for limited immunity. They are worthless as opposition. They are worthless when they are in power. If you disagree. Tough luck. You are in the minority.

I left the protest at least two hours after the big march got gassed, and when I took my mask off three blocks away from the ICE building the gas was still heavy in the air. The disproportionate size of the attack is as big a story as the peaceful, vulnerable crowd. You didn't have to get close.
It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Obviously didn't learn anything from the last US election. Genocide isn't winning any elections here either.
Why are @albomp.bsky.social & @senatorwong.bsky.social & Richard Marles & the Australian Labor party so determined to be on the wrong side of history when it comes to our dealings with #Zionist #Israel?
WHY???
Condemn #Israel
Revoke the invitation for #Herzog to spread hatred by coming to Australia

Israel is currently bombing Palestinians sheltering in tents in the Gaza kill box, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.
Why are you still pretending there's a ceasefire?
Why are you not condemning Israel's genocide?
Why are you not meeting your obligations under international law?

It’s a disgrace that all of these Trump officials will always have the title of government service - they don’t deserve that honor.

Incredibly, the Trump regime now pretends they don’t even understand that Epstein survivors were victimized by powerful men.
A jaw-dropping insult to everyone’s intelligence. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup
