Counterpoint - it's a disgusting militarisation of customs thought up by macho dipsh*t, Tony Abbott, which an ALP govt that was not afraid of right-wing media would have dumped the second they got into office.

These goons are brand new recruits
Just one look at em in action:
They have no tactical awareness and no idea of their authority or the law
It's a dangerous recipe - someone WILL get shot
But, I wonder... where would the regime find so many willing goons and so fast?
🤔

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.
Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.
📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

"How Corporate Media Is Paving the Road For Fascism in America"
In times of doubt, you can always count on corporate media and their remoras to "both sides" Donald Trump's fascist regime and demand civility as MAGA continues to dispense violent cruelty.

The Israeli military attacking a boat full of unarmed activists bringing food and medicine to Gaza is a clear breach of International Law that should be strongly condemned and have consequences #Madleen

I’m sure many do - particularly the wonderful health care workers who actually had our back during that time.

It’s not ‘uneconomic’ to build houses in Australia. Builders & developers are doing very nicely. High income earners are spending a fortune on extensions & holiday homes
What’s ‘uneconomic’ is thinking builders will ever build small houses for the poor instead of big ones for the rich
