Israel is an expansionist state. Its criminal leadership enjoys killing Palestinians.

Trumps plan will not stop them.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

Meh. The Trump administration has continued to leak stories claiming serious negotiations are occurring when there’s no other evidence that this is occurring.

Yes thank you for posting that. I take for granted people know that but it’s possible some don’t.

Even if there was a 1% chance… to endanger the mother against her will for 1% is criminal. To do it for 0? It should be attempted murder.

I have no patience for this garbage.

The fall of Roe has made pregnancy unsafe in America…
Even if you live in a blue state.

They want to control our bodies, and if we die because of it? That’s considered an acceptable loss.

Avoid period tracker apps. Don’t discuss your cycle or pregnancy online. Discretion could save you.

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

Recognising Threatened Species Day
7 September 2025
Today is Threatened Species Day, an opportunity to acknowledge the risks to Australia’s unique species and the work being done across the country to help them recover and thrive.

From tree plantings and weed removal to species specific mapping and monitoring using the latest conservation technology, countless individuals and organisations help every day to support and provide hope for threatened species.

It’s not just the work happening on the ground – research is finding innovative solutions to stay ahead of the game in the fight against key threats like feral cats, invasive weeds and climate change.

So to summarise: the Tas government bought two ships, that are years late, to run between Devonport and Geelong, but there is no wharf at all for them at Devonport because people forgot to build one and they can't safely use the wharf at Geelong.
