The real Gem and Molly, adopted separately, were good pals together and good fun. Both gone some time ago. Their photos are on the wall (the Rogues Gallery) so I can smile at them every day.

the ABC is carefully curating a narrative that people harming children via social media are all other children. Lies. The biggest threat is adult males. The biggest threat is always adult males, including to each other.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

It’s hard to watch. People being treated like they are less than human because of their perceived immigration status. Like this six-year-old girl.

Steve Reed: "We've seen on our screens for 2 years the most unimaginable scenes of horror in Gaza"

Yes, and in govt you supported & armed Israel, provided them with military assistance & refused to take any actions to exert meaningful pressure on them. Thats your record.

If anyone hasn't realised yet that the 'UK' is under attack from both Russia and exstreme Maga type groups.

Maga want to extend their influence and ideology around the world and we're their obvious target. Both the Kremlin/Maga would win if we could be used to undermine liberal Democracy in Europe

This video of a 15 year old girl being violently detained by ICE made the rounds on Friday.

Many people, including DHS, tried to claim it wasn’t recent. It wasn’t ICE. She was a violent criminal.

Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi is demanding accountability.

I hope he gets it for her.

PEOPLE LIKE WHAT THE GREENS ARE SAYING. THEY’RE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!

How long have we waited for a party that says what needs to be said and says it with conviction?

We need to bury the Lab/Con duopoly which has ill-served us for decades and trash Putin’s Reform puppets.
