It is sounding quite likely that the US Supreme Court will overturn Roe v Wade. That could be the end of America.

I see #IBelieveKate trending so I’m re-sharing this from the founder of Me Too.

Believing survivors means treating allegations as worthy of consideration and investigation, rather than immediately dismissing the person and their story as crazy or mendacious.

I believe Kate.

This is what the Australian government is normalising by not condemning some the extreme threats of the so called freedom protesters.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People truly don’t understand the scale, intensity, & volume of threats targeting @IlhanMN.

Kevin McCarthy is so desperate to be speaker that he is working with his Ku Klux Klan caucus to look aside & allow violent targeting of woc members of Congress.

This cannot be ignored.

Got rid of the Family Court, sued the ABC with the help of $1,000,000 someone kindly left in his locker, oversaw Robodebt and Witness K trial. Greatest blot on his life would perhaps have been considered the future leader of the Liberal Party.

Weird they want to delay a federal integrity commission…..

Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has revealed Scott Briggs, a close friend of Scott Morrison, was given a contract without tender to establish private quarantine centres for skilled migrants across the country.

Interesting that in all this talk about social media and defamation, the govt hasn’t mentioned what happened to me. Despite their claims, this bill will make it easier for the wealthy/powerful to sue those who speak truth to power. “Free speech for me but not for thee”. Chilling.

So federal parliament did at least get one decent thing done today: a support mechanism for TV production -promised in September last year to start from July 1 has gone through. It had been estimated up to $400 million of production was in peril if the legislation was not passed.

[Sally Rugg @sallyrugg]

Porter isn’t leaving bc of “harshness of politics” - he’s had nothing but brutish protection from Morrison & cabinet who closed ranks around him when allegations were exposed + rabid cheerleading of half Murdoch press. Didn’t even face an inquiry!

He can’t face voters of Pearce.

"Albo has a glass jaw," says federal minister who sued a guy over a mean tweet

[Nick Feik @NickFeik]

Porter walks off scot free while the man he put through hell for no good reason, the heroic Bernard Colleary, languishes under prosecution after years of harassment.

Dutton, who sued me over a deleted six word tweet, once again says Albanese has a glass jaw. #qt

'If any external agency assessed my news bureau in the terms @Kate_Jenkins_ has just reviewed the parliament, I would dig a large hole, clamber inside & never get out again.

I would be paralysed by shame and remorse. There would not be enough ways of saying sorry,' @murpharoo

[Saul Griffith @GriffithSaul]

Carbon capture and storage is a fraught fantasy of the fossil fuel industry trying to extend the period of its relevance. We should be enormously skeptical, and as a populace demand far more transparency around any government plans to engage in such boondoggles.

[Shane Bazzi @shanebazzi]

I am literally facing bankruptcy after fighting a defamation case against a cabinet minister and Labor folks are still piling on me for daring to suggest that Labor should commit to lifting people out of poverty. Fuck this shit. This place is toxic as hell.
