The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

He admitted it. An Israeli soldier who served in the Israeli forces admits that they killed unarmed Palestinians in Gaza "because their lives did not matter that much and we prefer not put ourselves in danger." #WarCrimes : www.threads.com/@mosab_abuto...

Today Peter Dutton said the quiet bit out loud. He said he’d manage the budget like Tony Abbott did. That means tens of billions of dollars in cuts to health and education. #auspol #ausecon

"The losses and damages on the Palestinian side are overwhelmingly larger than on the Israeli side. It is completely meaningless to accept that an occupying power attacks a civilian population with tanks, bombs and war-helicopters, and then call the resistance terrorism".

Oh my God. The allegations against a ‘Trumpet of Patriots’ candidate are utterly terrifying for a real person somewhere. A court must decide about them, of course, but he shouldn’t be an endorsed candidate with this unresolved.

"Police allege they found weapons and camouflage clothing inside his car. It is also alleged that during a further search of the vehicle officers located a shovel, axe, gloves, duct tape, ropes and a cadaver bag."

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

Dutton will bend the knee and sacrifice the PBS and our biosecurity to appease his overlords Gina 🦏horse and tRump. These are 2 things that make Australia 🇦🇺 successful and unique. LNP will burn them for profits. #auspol

Let’s be real: we all suspect the same powerful group is behind the silencing—so effective it’s protected by NDAs and off-limits even for the AFP. Zionist money moves quietly, decisively. If it were Muslims, the story would be everywhere by now. Just facts. #auspol

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

America, in no logical way does your future belong to a 78 y.o. man who will not live to see it, but he’s destroying it anyhow. What sort of entitlement is that, and what sort of stupidity is it of us to allow it? This has got to end sooner rather than later.
