Is it Trending or Conforming?? Are we being trained for something in the future? People are easier to control if they comply. So what are the Tech Oligarchs planning that they are spending decades training people to conform?? Jotted down some thoughts, what do you think?

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

This is absolute failure to leave and protect Australia and Australians. Invest our money here in Aussies who will create future industries, jobs & revenue. Coward. Unfit for the job!

@albomp.bsky.social is sending billions to US & UK shipyards for #AUKUS and then can’t find money to support the core science necessary for future industry innovation, protection of the environment and improved quality of life. He’s short-changing our future. #auspol

Let’s be honest the cross bench & greens are fighting secrets by the govt. Ley is being the opposition does. Her crew would do it if they could I’m sure!
@albomp.bsky.social it’s despicable,no other word.
Your legacy is written, weak, threw strong mandate away, could have been great. #auspol

Sussan Ley praised for ‘standing up for democracy’ as Labor’s freedom of information crackdown looks set to fail

Government’s FoI changes unlikely to pass Senate as Coalition, Greens and key crossbenchers voice outrage
