🚨 MIND-BLOWING HYPOCRISY JUST EXPOSED. Trump is out here popping champagne over a brand new Iran “deal”… …centered on Iran’s sacred promise that they will NEVER obtain a nuclear weapon. Sound familiar? Because ABC’s Jonathan Karl just dropped the bomb: That exact same promise was in the very first paragraph of Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal. Let that sink in. Obama makes the deal → Trump rips it up, slaps on “maximum pressure,” starts a war, costs lives and billions… …only to crawl back and celebrate the exact same core commitment like it’s some historic genius move. Same promise. Different body count. History is laughing. The cycle is complete. What a time to be alive. 🔥 Quote. Repost. Ratio.

#smokefleet you are awesome! I’m over 850 now and pushing for 1000. It’s going to take a long time to follow you all back because of Elmo’s stupid restrictions, but I promise I will get to you all eventually.
Reached 156 followers in just over a week. Can I make 200 by the weekend? Let’s keep the orange fuckwit and his smooth brained enablers on the run. #smokefleet

Everyone’s panicking about “so many autistic kids” these days. But here’s the thing: I’m autistic, and I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 27. I was one of those kids. You just didn’t call it autism. You called it weird. You called it difficult. You called it shy, dramatic, awkward, or rude. You bullied us. You punished us. You told us to try harder. We were always here. You just didn’t know what we were.

Happy pride! I'm a trans woman who just made a queer sci-fi movie called AGAIN AGAIN It's about what happens AFTER someone spends 10 years in a Groundhog Day style time loop and how we move forward when everything seems meaningless. I can't wait for you all to see it 🖤🖤🖤

I've not really had any reason to comment on the death of Henry Nowak, until I had a conversation with a local retired policeman that changed my view of the incident. He gave me permission to share this. He's a reform voter. He voted for brexit. I've found him to be casually racist at times. So hold that in mind while you read this: He said he had put handcuffs on a thousand people and most would say absolutely anything to get you to take them off. He said he must have heard hundreds of people in handcuffs say that they were injured and even dying. Only one was actually injured, and yes, they were dying. Exactly like Henry Nowak, they were wearing a dark top at night and bleeding abdominally both internally and externally. Exactly like with Henry Nowak, he and a fellow officer called for emergency support and started first aid as soon as they knew there was a problem. Exactly like with Henry Nowak the first aid wasn't enough and the young man died. Unlike Henry Nowak, that young man was both a perpetrator of knife violence and a victim of it. His assailant also needed emergency care. The policeman telling me all this stepped down from active duty two weeks later due to 'stress' and retired months later. I knew about the death and the stress years ago, but didn't know about the details until yesterday. He said he still has nightmares about pulling up the young man's shirt to see the sucking bubbling knife wound. When he started talking to me yesterday, I thought he was going to complain about two tier policing and wokeness and reverse discrimination, but instead we just cried a lot. I'm crying again as I write this too. Sometimes a tragedy is just a tragedy, and that's all it is.

Four beer company CEOs walk into a bar. The CEO of Budweiser orders a Bud Light. The CEO of Miller orders a Miller Lite. The CEO of Coors orders a Coors Light. The CEO of Guinness orders a Coke. The other three look at him and ask, “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?” The CEO of Guinness says, “Well, I figured if you three weren’t ordering beer, it would be rude if I did.”

It’s funny that people just now recognize how much more personable the Biden’s are than the Trump’s. Biden’s have actually come from a community service background. Trump’s came from a community serve us background. Should be a no brainer who’s more likable.

Employers should be legally required to post salaries in every job listing. No exceptions. It’s ridiculous that people still go through weeks of interviews only to finally find out what they might be paid at the end. Transparency should be the bare minimum.

Ngl when I was young I thought things were bad because solutions were complicated, and now I’m older and realize things are bad because the solutions are often simple, but they would inconvenience affluent people, or those who aspire to be, and religious fanatics.

The George Monibot quote needs an addition: The poor and the middle class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers, and the ultra-rich pay politicians - and buy media companies.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but ICE detention centers are for-profit concentration camps that generate billions.

You're a pregnant TERF. You're in the public bogs bleeding heavily. The person in the cubicle next to you is a trans obstetrician: "I'll carry on with the miscarriage, thanks." The next day: "Hello, The Guardian? A [insert slur] tried to assault me while I miscarried."

if you're drawing a member of a minority community that you're not a part of, it's probably worth doing a quick google to make sure you don't end up mimicking the tropes used in bigoted caricatures of that community

being surprised when young people don’t like capitalism is like being surprised when someone hates Monopoly after you only let them join for the last 10% of the game

Every time an Aboriginal child dies, the response is the same. Not fund services. Not resource families. Demonise an entire culture. I cannot think of a single instance where a non-Indigenous child’s death prompted calls to demonise all non-Indigenous people. Yet here we are. Again. The data tells a different story to the one being weaponised right now. 92% of children in NT care are already Aboriginal. The system has never gone soft on Aboriginal people. 82% of those removals are for neglect — the lowest level on the risk continuum, the most vulnerable to cultural bias, and the one that warrants intensive family support. Not removal. Sexual abuse — where people’s minds immediately go — accounts for 6% of notifications for Aboriginal children. It’s 10% for non-Indigenous children. We have now surpassed 25,000 Aboriginal children removed from their families. The same number as the Stolen Generations. We are not learning. We are repeating. In WA, removing just 4 of 20 child protection districts — the most remote, the most under-resourced — drops the Aboriginal removal rate from 61% to 38%. In the Kimberley, 100% of children in care are Aboriginal. The Pilbara, 96%. It defies logic. We are supposed to believe there has never been a non-Indigenous child in the Kimberley deemed in need of state protection. The Kimberley also has the highest rates of child suicide in the country — Indigenous children dying at 6 times the rate of non-Indigenous children. Removal does not protect children. It destroys them. And the harm is generational. Meanwhile, the government funds intensive family support programs that 80% non-Indigenous families access — delivered by a workforce that is 90% non-Indigenous. Over the past decade, the non-Indigenous removal rate has fallen 13%. The Indigenous rate has risen 120%. Same system. Same decade. One group served, one group not. Only 5% of child protection notifications come from wealthy suburbs. We are targeting poor Black families while other children go unseen. Child abuse is a human issue. Linking culture to abuse is eugenics. It has always been eugenics. The pipeline is straightforward: removal → justice system → substance use → violence → poor health → poor education. Every organisation working on those outcomes exists largely because of the Stolen Generations. We are building the next generation of that client base right now. The Child Placement Principle has never stopped authorities from protecting a child at genuine risk. If Senator Price and the CLP believe otherwise, they need to show us exactly where. Not rhetoric. Actual cases. Abd report those cases. Dont stand in front of the country and demonise an entire culture acting like the system hasn’t removed children at breathtaking numbers. And deny the fact that when families reach out fir help they are being harmed instead. What it does is prevent us from repeating history. We are repeating history.
