I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

An absolutely blistering assessment of Sussan Ley’s self proclamation that’s she’s a champion of women & children, by @nicolechvastek.bsky.social in The Politics

Where was Sussan when Gillian Triggs, Christine Holgate & Britney Higgins were going through the Liberal party women’s wood chipper?
Desperately seeking Sussan - THE POLITICS
Sussan Ley stayed shtum as deputy dawg when Australian women were demeaned by her male colleagues. Now, all makeup and soft lighting, she's their plucky champion. Uh-huh.

Who actually cares what #scottyfrommarketing has to say about anything. Why is the #ABC playing him on repeat. #albo step up and make a statement so we don’t have to listen to his drivel. #auspol #iranbombing

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Australia, this is our ‘ally’.

This is how our ‘ally’ treats its other ‘allies’.

Their word is meaningless in the face of ‘America First’ policy.

Not only should we cancel Aukus but we should cancel the alliance. #auspol
An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.
