Isn't she such a peach?
The deputy opposition leader, Sussan Ley, says the teals have not delivered on their vow to change politics in Canberra.
“These teal independents said they would change Canberra, but three years on it is clear Canberra has changed them, and Australians have seen that,” she says.
“They said they would hold the government accountable, instead they spend most of their time opposing the opposition.”
Translation:
My party's parliamentarians are such ginormous fuckheads that even the advent of a net rise in the parliamentary collective IQ & decency, via the Teals arriving, has been insufficient to fix our blatant genetic shitfuckery.
Translation of the translation:
We're arseholes, so that's their fault.
Yay Sussssssssssssssssssssan! 🙄🤦♀️

This Threads post is being forwarded around here but since, well, fuck threads, I made a screencap.
"The super-rich continue to squander humanity's chances with their lavish lifestyles, polluting stock portfolios and pernicious political influence."
"This is theft—pure and simple―a tiny few robbing billions of people of their future to feed their insatiable greed."

Houston’s history as a whole is criminally understudied. Perhaps this is because, as a swampy backwater-turned-transport hub, the city’s greatest historical virtue was always that it could deliver you—or cotton, lumber, sugar, and eventually oil—someplace else. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-urbanism-gentrification-northside/

"None of the officers involved in the fatal beating of Brooks appeared to be black.
The fatal beating of Brooks was recorded on bodycam, but the audio was turned off, even though the officers were required to leave the audio on.
At one point in the video, one of the correctional officers appears to put something in Brooks' mouth before punching him several times in the face. One of the officers can also be seen punching Brooks in the groin.
In the video, the officers can be seen smiling while Brooks remains handcuffed with his face covered in blood."

Most Americans have no idea that the United States is quite literally the only country in the developed world that doesn’t define #healthcare as an absolute right for all of its citizens. That’s it. We’re the only one left.
Progressives have been fighting for universal healthcare for well over a century. But #racism and #profit have always come first in the American model.
It started with the leader of #Prudential saying that if we didn’t have healthcare for all, Black people would die and ”solve the race problem”, and continues with CEOs making billions by letting Americans die.
#Medicare For All would save American families thousands every year immediately and do away with the 500,000+ annual bankruptcies in this country that happen only because somebody in the family got sick. But it would kill the billions every week in profits of the half-dozen corporate giants …

"The tech right and nationalist right are separate but overlapping factions that operated in tandem to help get Trump reelected. Now, they are at odds."

“One of the most pathetic creatures in the MAGA universe is the person of color who truly believes that all their prostrations to Trump, shameless parroting of right-wing propaganda, indulgence in racist conspiracies, and delusional adherence to the model minority stereotypes will finally earn the love and admiration of the base which is forged from grievance, rage, and adherence to white Supremacy.”

"A jury on Monday found Seattle Children’s hospital created a hostile work environment based on race against Dr. Benjamin Danielson, the former medical director of the hospital’s Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic.
The jury awarded $21 million in damages in the racial discrimination case, concluding a weekslong trial that centered on the effects of systemic racism in the workplace and in health care, and the hospital’s responsibility to address it."

#DEI critics increasingly weaponize “diversity hire” as an insult. A scholar focused on gender and exclusion links these attacks—political and corporate—to anti-Black #racism, arguing they distort the true purpose of DEI. https://theconversation.com/assault-on-dei-critics-use-simplistic-terms-to-attack-the-programs-but-they-are-key-to-uprooting-workplace-bias-243011
