As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

At least 12 homes were destroyed as 75 bushfires burn across NSW. Fires are burning in several states. But let's ignore the impacts of #ClimateChange and focus on protecting the #FossilFuelsIndustry and their profits. #auspol

An Australian billionaire (who loves Elon Musk of course) wants to destroy a world beneath the oceans before we even come close to understanding it. There are no limits to this ultra capitalist strip mining of our one and only planet.

I may have said this before but dead set, integrate child care in to the education system and get private operators out of the sector. It isn't the cure but the privatisation of early childhood is a massive net negative.
I will not be taking rent seeker correspondence on this one.
