How the fuck do we live in a country where RWNJ men care desperately about women being the recipients of abortions but not one tiny flying fuck about women being the victims of rape?

Only one candidate understands that we must address the threat of climate change; that women have a right to control their own bodies; and that our economy must work for working people and not just billionaires.
That candidate is Joe Biden.
#SmokingGun: A new #FOI release shows that when Minister Plibersek signed off on introducing the Sea Dumping Amendment Bill into Parliament, she knew its sole purpose was to facilitate future gas developments. She also knew exactly who she was working for: Santos 1/3 #auspol
It clearly wasn’t easy for the Prime Minister to break a promise not to amend Stage 3, but as I said at the National Press Club, breaking promises when the circumstances change is what adults have to do. @RDNS_TAI
Now do the same with AUKUS.
Out now in @THEMONTHLY - @RDNS_TAI:
"In Norway they tax their gas industry heavily and give their kids free university degrees.
In Australia we subsidise the fossil fuel industry and charge our kids a fortune to go to university."

Statement from the President of East Timor, Jose Ramos-Horta:
Let Assange Be Free to Return to Australia
I do not comment on the substance and merit of the case against JULIAN #ASSANGE. As an informed and concerned person who deeply values media freedom, I just hope that sanity, justice and humanity prevail and Assange is let free to return to his native Australia.
So many young lives were lost in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, on all sides involved, so many lies and halftruths were said by all involved, so many more werenwounded and rendered disabled and traumatised. Why continue to haunt someone who shared official communications with the public without endangering anyone's life in the process.
The US is far greater than the pettiness of revenge, it should be far greater in wisdom and humanity, it should simply close this dark chapter of US recent wars.

The pretense of justice meted out to Assange by the Rules Based Order has come undone - Pearls and Irritations
How on earth has this gone on without questions asked of the PM and FM? @SBSNews@abcnews#auspol#Assangejohnmenadue.com/the-pretense…
If you think an intoxicated young woman ‘deserves what she gets’, while Barnaby Joyce needs support and help, your sense of morality is twisted beyond repair.
Every time I think I’ve seen the worst image of this genocide, Israel commits another horrific crime.
While America was distracted by the circus of men in pads, Israel dropped bombs on civilians in tents.
May this girl haunt you @POTUS and every genocide enabler and apologist.
Yes, war crime. Yes, prima facie genocide. Looking at the footage out of Rafah one must ask: is there any shred of decency to be found among the Israeli leadership? How many more Palestinian kids are now to be buried under rubble?
