This is really bad!
First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.

Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable.

What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives.

This warmongering has got to stop.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Budgets are about priorities. The idea is to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of

In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO…

As i said, budgets are about priorities #climate

If the Government's top priority is productivity, slashing the CSIRO budget does not make sense
Research and development is one of the major drivers of productivity and the CSIRO has a long track record of making productivity enhancing breakthroughs.

It's also a recipe for PTSD down the track, for these poor children.

The US is lawless and broken.
Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights.

They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means.

As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

The US has the right to withdraw funding to whatever it likes. It also has a responsibility to withdraw that money sensibly and in a way that gives other nations time to step in.

This is another Trump mass murder.
UNAIDS says Trump's cuts have killed people and left millions without medicine
The United Nations body charged with fighting the spread of HIV says the Trump administration's cuts to the US foreign aid budget have sent the global aid response into "crisis mode".
