What are you doing @albomp.bsky.social inviting this monster to our country? The one who signed bombs destined for Gaza.
One of the architects of the genocide you refuse to speak of.

That's sick
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

In 2025, America saw the highest number of measles cases in over 30 years. That’s just a preview of what’s to come as RFK Jr continues his rollback of vaccine guidance.

All I want for Christmas is for the AI bubble to burst and for people to understand that fossil fuels are destroying the climate, biosphere and civilisation. Get onto it Santa!

Delayed gastric emptying is one of the mechanisms by which these meds work. That creates a real risk of aspiration pneumonia post-general anaesthesia. Make sure you let your docs know you're taking them so enough time passes between your last dose & surgery www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12... #MedSky
Doctors turn Ozempic patients away from surgery due to extra risks
Doctors say they are forced to delay some procedures due to the risk of serious consequences for patients on Ozempic-like drugs.

Agreed. And not in line with International treaties.
The language being used for people seeking refuge abroad is unacceptable.

Asylum seekers must be allowed to work, not demonised.

Starmer’s decision to move people in need to military sites in the new year is unacceptable.

I don't excuse anything the Bondi attackers did, but isn't there a heap of evidence being publicly released that would usually only be revealed in Court?
I would hate to see the perpetrator get off due to claims they didn't get a fair trial.

15 people murdered. Days of rolling media coverage of the Bondi Beach terror attack massacre.

400 Palestinians murdered by Israel during the "ceasefire". Zero Australian media coverage.

Israel is a terrorist state. Our politicians and media are complicit. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide
