Mexico’s women gig workers are making a dangerous job safer

Peter Dutton wants you to hate foreign students
↗︎
↳ Peter Dutton is a hateful *little* man with a huge ego and absolutely no morals. His fear mongering is the one and only item in the Liberal’s playbook — and as a collective we need to reject this empty bullshit which seeks only to extend capitalism and exploitation of people and the planet. — -
Trump says Apple boss called him to complain about EU
↗︎
↳ Billionaires jerking off “billionaires”. Apple is evil and deeply complicit in hegemonic enforcement. — -

World’s 1.5C climate target ‘deader than a doornail’, experts say

Greens to ask Senate to vote to jettison anti-abortion bill in bid to split Coalition on issue

↳ The fact this is even before the senate here is fucking cooked. If the liberals support anti-abortion movements they must be jettisoned alongside the sexist assholes who introduced this junk. But, as mentioned, “it’s happening here”. — -

Phony X accounts are meddling in Ghana’s election
↗︎

Indigenous senator who yelled ‘You are not our king’ at Charles III is censured in Australia
↗︎
↳ Labor and Liberal toeing the hegemonic line as usual. Trust them to reinforce racist, colonial and damaging bullshit. He’s not our fucking king. There should be no kings. — -
Trump confirms plans to use military for mass deportations
