Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

“If the Government wants to fill this tax black hole without hurting low-income households, it could broaden the GST to apply to private school fees & private health insurance,” – @richarddenniss.bsky.social.
“Alternatively, it could tax the gas industry.”

Interesting that Trump hasn’t yet bothered to appoint an ambassador to Canberra. Shows we’re pretty low priority. I imagine he’ll get around to finding some moron car dealer from Sphincter, Kentucky who stumped up for his campaign…

There is no Broad Church in the LNP.
There is only Dutton and a pack of weak leftovers who have nothing to add to our progressive & modern Australian society.
All the LNP has to offer is more hate, division, corruption, incompetence & grift.

I've spoken to half a dozen LNP MPs who had no idea about the citizen 'referendum' policy Dutton is backing in who all think it is nuts - but that is not the point. None are willing to push back because party stability these days means blind obedience, not challenge.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

A child wrote these lines using my poetry prompts, and I can't get over them:
"Once when I was clear
I looked up at the sky and I saw the stars
and knew I was a child made of love.
I am still a child made of love."

Hey, elites, politicians, and those in power!
Dystopian novels are 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, not 𝗵𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 for building the perfect state!
