I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration.
But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last.
That’s why I need to fight these charges with everything we’ve got. Help us do that here: katforillinois.com/legal

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.
This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.
I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I can think of one or two ways people in the USA could celebrate the anniversary of throwing off the shackles of a tyrant who governs for his own interest with no care for the impact of those he rules.
Enjoy your independence day, USA.

NDIS in Australia have achieved a new low.
A plan reassessment resulted in funding being cut to a service.
Effective immediate from the phone call where this was announced to me.
The fact I had an appointment booked for the next morning didn't matter, so I get a surprise $300 bill.

I do like how the complete season 1 & 2 of Andor makes the movie Rogue One feel like a feature length episode.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

The problem isn't that government departments are woefully inefficient.
The problem is that government departments are required to publish their inefficiency in a public forum, while private industry can pretend they don't have the same bullshit.

A vote for Dutton or the LNP, is a vote for Trumpism in 🇦🇺. 🤬
Do NOT let the bastards win.
They’ll raise your taxes, gut services, remove your workers rights, and drill on your land - just like they are in America.
Gina Reinhart said Australians “should be happy to work for $2 a day” !

Australians are miserable and anxious because the media coaches them
Lamentable reporting by mainstream media hacks is a major reason Australia ranks well down the global happiness tables.

Tariffs by US against allies like Canada, etc are setup for blaming other countries for US economic collapse.
US is the victim in an abusive relationship with its current president, and needs the same kind of counselling as any other DV victim.

I think this is how all references to the US presidency should be made.
