Live on unceded Gadigal/Bidjigal lands. Grateful for steady as she goes Labor government and for the checks and balances in our system. Praying the devil will drag Trump down to hell where he belongs sooner rather than later.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted - guess I’m speechless at what’s happening in USA. But tonight after Bolton raid I’m wondering if it’s only a matter of time before Americans begin fleeing and seeking political asylum.

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.
