What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

β€œChained at their ankles and wrists, they stumbled and fell, some guards falling to the ground with them. With each fall came a kick, a slap, a shove. The guards grabbed necks and pushed bodies into the sides of the buses as they forced the detainees forward.”

How quickly democracy can fall. We expect blood and armies in coups, but this is a trillionaire playing Risk.

It is Elon Musk who is now running the United States. Not Donald Trump.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

The people who run aluminium smelters say they are moving to Australian wind and solar power.

But Dutton says it’s all impossible.

Donate United Nations Crisis Relief connects people who care to people in crisis, providing support where it matters most.

Because the USA has abandoned its humanitarian mission, the UN crisis relief fund is asking for direct donations *before systems collapse and people get hurt*. I just donated, PLEASE give what you can and share this call out.

Musk says Trump has "agreed" to shut USAID down His comments follow reports that DOGE representatives visited USAID's D.C. HQ and accessed classified spaces and American citizens' data.

The richest man in history working to stop money going to some of the poorest people on earth.

This level of depravity needs to be met with a level of resistance unfathomable to Trump’s American Nazi Party.

Queensland government halts hormone treatment for new trans patients under 18 Health Minister Tim Nicholls unveiled the pause on Tuesday as he also announced a review into the evidence for stage one and two hormone therapies for children with gender dysphoria.

Appalling news coming out of Queensland as the LNP attacks Trans kids - preventing them accessing life saving therapy.

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...

January 26th is not a day of celebration for Australian Indigenous communities; it marks the beginning of immense loss and trauma.

And with that, Musk and Trump totally destroyed the ADL - like the cop unions, Zuck, and the rest. From *the moment* you bow your head before them, you are gone. You become their instrument and you will never be anything else. Who would listen to the ADL about anything now?

What a farce.

Dutton & Taylor have just admitted their new tax perks for long lunches policy will extend to golf & movie days for bosses.

3 years in opposition & this is the best they come up with. They still won’t say how much it will cost taxpayers.

First post has to be a good one. Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Proud to have campaigned and voted Yes.
