This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Yes that is 2nd in the whole world.
The IMF reports on 191 countries.
We are also only 1 of 7 out 191 countries with a "AAA" credit rating.
Better than the USA etc.
So, if the media, the Libs, the Nats, One Nation, are saying things are bad in Oz, I think we can safely assume they are lying.

Trump's US Govt funding of Israel's brutal occupation and ongoing genocide hardly qualifies him for receiving the #NobelPeacePrize. The Australian Labor Govt have zero principles, decency, humanity or credibility with obscene comments like this. 😠 #auspol #GazaGenocide

His name is Pastor David Black and he is literally a saint. As if ICE couldn’t look any worse than they already do, this photo will likely be a serious contender for a Pulitzer Prize.

How many Anthony Albaneses does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just the one, but first he has to get approval from the US, Israel, the fossil fuel industry, the mining industry, the sports gambling industry, Jill Segal, property investors, wealthy private schools…

The PM "is the nesting Matryoshka dolls of Australian politics: after every term he sheds another layer revealing an even smaller Anthony Albanese inside.
The centre will not hold because there is no centre there. If you look at the primary votes for the 'major' parties, it is already obvious." 💥

“I genuinely think if you took a normal person and put them in Parliament, they would be horrified by the kind of micro bullying, bad behaviour and lack of knowledge. It's tribal. It's a game. It's, can I stick it to the opposition? The enterprise is so mad.”

I'm old enough to remember this excellent work from nearly 20 years ago on postcodes, poverty and opportunity.
Which Federal and State governments have of course largely ignored.

Mike Collin's alternate photo is extremely well known, but this one - shown remastered and cropped - is an absolute beauty!

Yes, it's time to pulp the #JillianSegal plan.
But the plan is not the problem.
It's the appointment of a pro-Israel zealot with Trumpian inclinations and no policy skills, and
a PM who is more concerned with appeasing Zionists than fighting racism. #auspol

Time to pulp Jillian Segal's antisemitism plan? - THE POLITICS
The special envoy has produced a report which is shocking in its authoritarian overreach and if approved could damage Australia's democracy.

If the Government is interested in tax reform, we have a few ideas.
Between taxing the gas industry, fixing tax loopholes and ending fossil fuel subsidies, these changes could raise up to $63 billion, supporting better services and reducing inequality.
