Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary and I'm back after some time off here.

@TrishMelbourne A woman will do these things as long as she's alive, to stay alive. This fear we have is so ingrained and has become a natural state of being when out alone and feeling vulnerable, that we mostly don't give it much thought.

Imagine yourself as a 19-year-old individual caught in a dire situation. It is November 14, 1965, and you find yourself critically wounded and on the brink of death in the dense jungle of the Central Highlands of Vietnam, specifically at LZ (landing zone) X-ray. The odds are stacked against your unit, as you are outnumbered eight to one, and the enemy's relentless gunfire from a mere 100 yards away has forced the commanding officer to halt the arrival of MedEvac helicopters.

Lying there, you are acutely aware of the enemy's machine guns, and you come to terms with the fact that rescue is unlikely. Your family is located halfway around the world, approximately 12,000 miles away, and you realize that you will never see them again. As the world around you begins to fade in and out, you sense that this is your final day.

Suddenly, amidst the cacophony of gunfire, you faintly hear the distinct sound of a helicopter. Looking up, you spot a Huey aircraft approaching. However, something seems amiss as it lacks the customary markings of a MedEvac vehicle. It turns out that Captain Ed Freeman is piloting this helicopter. Despite not being part of the MedEvac team, he overheard the radio call for help and made the decision to fly his Huey into the midst of the machine gun fire, defying the order to cease rescue operations.

Captain Freeman touches down in the line of fire and bravely remains there as you and two other wounded comrades are loaded onto the helicopter. He then navigates the aircraft through the hail of bullets, carrying you to the safety of doctors and nurses. Astonishingly, he continues this perilous mission, returning to the battlefield another 13 times. Each time, he retrieves more injured soldiers until all of the wounded are evacuated. Only after the mission concludes does anyone realize that Captain Freeman had been shot four times in his legs and left arm.

Thanks to Captain Freeman's selfless and courageous actions, a total of 29 injured soldiers and their comrades were saved that day. Without his intervention, some would not have survived. This exceptional act of heroism earned Captain Ed Freeman the Medal of Honor. Unfortunately, news of his passing at the age of 80 in Boise, Idaho may not have reached everyone.

Let us remember and honor this true hero, Medal of Honor recipient Captain Ed Freeman of the United States Army. Please share his story, ensuring that his legacy lives on.

The miserable people on here who object to those min wage workers receiving a 8.5% increase, which equates to $40 a week are a sad bunch.

These people serve on you at restaurants, clean your toilets & cut your hair.

What has Australia become - just be fucking happy for others!

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

With the appropriate acknowledgment of the great work of investigative journalists today in uncovering war crimes, can we take a moment to contrast this scenario with the response to the contribution and courage of Julian Assange who remains behind bars for playing a similar role

That little grub in the middle has caused more damage in this country than anyone else.

Australia, your biggest threat - white men in suits.

@SarkySage yes! scary

How to keep losing elections:

Move further to the Right. Wheel out John Howard.
Cosy up with Gina Rinehart.
Fan the flames of culture wars & promote hate.
Keep using words like ‘woke agenda’.
Keep silent on the vileness of One Nation.
Rant on Sky News.

So with the budget coming up, what does “No one is left behind” mean exactly, @AlboMP @JEChalmers?

Does this mean you’ll end poverty?

Presumably yes, and especially given there’s $368 billion (minimum) for subs.

I mean people are way more important than subs, yes? #auspol

@GingerGorman It's the car which is commonly driven by POS. He obviously feels so big and thinks it's hilarious to park close and inconvenience another person.

[Robert Smithers @Rob_Smithers]

The word “Robodebt” appears once in your entire tweeting history, if only you and other “journalists” had actually held politicians like Morrison, Tudge and Porter to account then thousands of people might still be alive, spare us you self righteous nonsense #ThisIsNotJournalism

[Maree @MareeRyan7]

I’m just going to say this about Paul Keating. To try to minimise his input by suggesting he had his day 30 years ago or ignorantly think he doesn’t keep himself informed on modern politics then it’s more fool you.

[The Cockatoo @DarcyAmaroo]

A $24 billion gift to Business with Jobkeeper they made no attempt to recover and a disgusting assault on vulnerable people with Robodebt to claw back money that in many cases they had every right to claim.
The Liberals stand for - Inequality, Rorts, Lies and Wealth Shifting.

Turns out that in Australia you have to be caught by more than two cops, witnesses with university degrees, your own admission, and a literally smoking gun, before you can be convicted for corruption, if you're a politician.

[Melb @Realllygood]

@DrEmmaBeckett I'm sorry to hear this. Life and death makes no sense sometimes. We hope that science will find an answer one day ...

[Chris Pomfret @CJPomfret]

What does it take to sack a minister these days? A $650 payout? Sharing nude photos of colleagues? Having 5 secret portfolios? Losing the public $40B in Jobkeeper? Ignoring legal advice? Why have none of these ministers been shown the door? #auspol #NSWpol

[Sarah Haar @Sarah_Haar_]

I changed lanes today. This really upset a man that didn't want to let me in despite there being ample space. His #RoadRage escalated & he pursued me aggressively for 25 minutes around Brunswick, swerving & trying to run me off the road.
It gets more unhinged 1/9
