Hi Kobe❣️ I agree! Dump’s deceit and gaslighting were on full display last night! How awful it was seeing Rep. Al Green being removed for speaking truth to power when so many MAGA GOP members of Congress were allowed to treat President Biden so disrespectfully during his past speeches to Congress!

I read that Sarah has been subjected to a vicious, malicious onslaught by the usual Murdoch scum. They will stop at nothing.
My article in @theguardian.com about how Peter Dutton uses the Jewish community as political footballs to spread bigotry, which makes us all less safe.

Murdoch, you can’t stop me from calling out Dutton and the LNP for fueling racism!

I love #BlueSky. I really wish it had a Trending Australian News feed featuring independent news outlets and commentators. Could that be a thing? Maybe even an Asia-Pacific News Feed with reports from leading Asia-Pacific journals. #auspol #AusVotes2025 #JournalismMatters

Australian voters,
Coles and Woolworths have joined forces with Kmart and Costco to publicly support the ARA's application to the Fair Work Commission to scrap overtime, evening and weekend penalty rates, and work breaks. If this goes through it will be used as a precedent everywhere. #AusVotes2025

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.

We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.

Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.
