I love it when the US government starts a wartime recruitment campaign during peacetime

Or is it because Trump has plans
Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.

NSW’s firearm reforms should be the impetus for national action on gun control.

Falsely conflating those who peacefully march against violence in Gaza with the criminal actions of radicalised individuals is a dangerous path.

We will always defend the right to peaceful protest.

I welcome the PM flagging pollie reunion travel only to Canberra & only economy, which I pushed for weeks ago. But concerned Ministers will sometimes still be allowed to fly their family to the footy. So a win of sorts but more work to be done. #auspol #politas

The Deputy Lord Mayor of Hobart Dr Zelinda Sherlock joined the Tasmanian Greens yesterday believing the party is more aligned with her political beliefs.

"I felt compelled to join the Greens. This is a party grounded in values I align with," Sherlock said.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?

The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Always surprised when someone screenshots a post from Truth Social that isn't Trump. Always kind of assume he is the only one there.

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.
Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content
More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

Ugh. Discordant message on the Sydney Harbour bridge photographed for the NYTimes story on social media ban for under-16s. Not just Lego green & ick flouro yellow but sanctimonious 'Let Them Be Kids' from a country which jails Indigenous kids & hasn't held the childcare industry to account.

That tracks.

Rocky will be retired between Xmas 26 & Easter 27 - at very latest.

Shelts to go mid term for S. Cameron.

K. Vincent only agreed to one 6 year term.

Party's cooked.

On the grapevine, hearing Font PR is closing down. Becher retiring and Brad doing his own thing.

Interesting times. #politas
