Dear US Americans, I applaud those trying to protect immigrants, the LGBTIQA community, education etc

BUT IN LOUISIANA THERE IS A 9 YEAR OLD RAPE VICTIM BEING DENIED BASIC HEALTH CARE!!!

Do something, please. Please, do something now. Forced birth is an atrocity. For a 9 year old it is a crime

I just wish to go on record as condemning the Israeli government for its actions against the people of Gaza. I’m in no way excusing or condoning the actions of Hamas, but refusing aid to children cannot be an acceptable retribution. Listen to vt.tiktok.com/ZShsyBdFX/ and do whatever you can too

Hey @australianlabor.bsky.socialcould we make the next public service announcement campaign a tutorial on preferential voting and the Australian electoral system. The number of people who just don’t understand it is appalling. Really scary, actually

Can any US American tell me if your countrymen really care about renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Also wonder if you all understand that the renaming doesn’t affect what it’ll be called by any other country?

If you’re one of the pieces of shit that booed the Welcome to Country at an ANZAC Day Dawn service, you’re absolute muppets!!! Disgraceful, shameful and stupid

Wait! Easter Friday, Sunday & Monday aren’t nation wide public holidays in the United States? Yes, I know the religious overtones, but even with 57% of Aussies not identifying as Xtian, there would be riots in the streets if anyone suggested cancelling our 4 day (5 if you’re lucky) Easter break 👀
