Believe in equality and a fair go for everyone. We have all the resources we need, we just need to keep highlighting the rapacious greed of the billionaires who are hoarding the planet’s wealth. This is the problem we need to solve together!

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard involves an intercepted conversation in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner. The complaint was locked in a safe for eight months. The allegations about Kushner are significant if verified. (WSJ)

I’m just wondering how many of the “sworn oath” elected members of the GOP present for Vlad’s July 4th party in the regime’s first term are now Russian spies.

the other 100 pieces of legislation using crises to expand state control since September 2001 - laws used by authorities to specifically target Arabs and Muslims - did not prevent a mass shooting by two extremists.

Giving ASIO and Home Affairs ever more power and money hasn't stopped terrorism. Why do we think it will now?
Australia is on the verge of again rewarding failure by expanding further the powers of ASIO and the failed Home Affairs department. It hasn't worked before.

It's long been known that if you do redactions improperly, someone can copy and paste redacted text and get it to appear. I recall that happening with a document we received at the Chicago Tribune more than a decade ago. The fact that the Trump regime doesn't know this is a scandal in itself. 1/2

My problem with Barnaby Joyce is that he’s a textbook stereotype of a red-faced white conservative hypocrite; expensive private school education, pretends to be yokel; mouths religious belief, lives with no piety; condemns “promiscuity” in young women, but has affairs. A disloyal narcissist & drunk.
