Developers may hate Victoria, but it’s shaming other states on housing
Victoria has taken power for housing approval away from councils and concentrated it with the planning minister. It’s not popular, but it’s working – and other states are taking note.

In the U.K. the Law itself now targets journalists & the public from supporting pro Palestinian groups or protests. This video from George Monbiat is disturbing. Apparently even sharing it can lead to a 14 year sentence. #Censorship #auspol #SundayShot

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

Though I would question how smart the people were that said he'd never do this. A lot of us, especially those with close experience of Alzheimer's and/or narcissists--or both combined--have talked about this since 2015.

Trump is skipping over all potential checks on use of force. Intl law - no claim of self defense. US law - no AUMF, does not meet WPR criteria, Article 2 so stretched it’s tearing. Partisan congressional notification only. Intel and defense principals objected. Vast majority of Americans opposed. 1/

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Like Canada, Australia does not share in the views or values of the rapidly imploding U.S. Oligarchy
By electing Trump, again, the USA has proven that it can no longer be trusted. Ever.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
