Elect a kiddie-fiddler thug to the Oval, and watch the empire's moral rot spew forth in brazen scandals, trampling human dignity under jackbooted impunity. #TrumpEpstein

We're at the stage of cognitive dissonance where he can say they shot down a submarine and all you're capable of doing is imagining a submarine falling from the sky

Q: The Columbian president says that the US killed an innocent Columbia fisherman

TRUMP: He said that when we shot down a submarine that they were just fishing. This was a submarine that was meant for one reason -- to carry massive amounts of drugs

Q: He's talking about a previous strike

“we are seeing “Israel is killing people because Hamas has Israeli hostages” narrative debunked in exactly same way “Israel keeps bombing hospitals because there are Hamas bases in all of them” narrative was. The hostages are free, but massacres continue.”

“multiple independent reports from western doctors in Gaza confirmed Israeli’s entered hospitals after attacking them & systematically destroyed individual pieces of medical equipment one by one to make them unusable. Hamas wasn’t target in those hospital attacks, *hospitals* were the target.”

It’s time Australia held that deep investigation that more than 500,000 Australians petitioned for.

Murdoch media are a cancer on society deliberately undermining our democracy.

ICE attacked peaceful protestors with tear gas and then Fox News characterised the violence as caused by protestors. Trump’s propaganda arm - Murdoch media - is a huge part of the MAGA problem.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is right, we don't need a wealth tax for public investment, we can do that anyway, but a wealth tax is one tool to help tackle inequality in our society. Zack is also right that we need to raise Capital Gains Tax, & we should always question the bias of economists!
