Living on the unceded lands of the Ngunnawal / Ngambri first nations peoples, now known as Canberra. Please do not post requests for donations for families in Gaza in my timeline. Love my politics and my footy (aka Carlton FC) and my music.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

The folks at Fox News continue to promote the false narrative that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops BEFORE the January 6th riots. His then Acting Sec. of Defense testified under oath that Trump made no such request. I included his testimony. RECEIPTS!
