Same as v1.0.2 on iOS but adds clear backgrounds so you can make video tracks to easily overlay effects on your other videos.

Well, well, well.

Who is exactly IS running Australia, @AlboMP? Toto?

Because in 2023, Peter Dutton - Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles' best friend - said that he would cut the NDIS to fund submarines.

And it is probably not a coincidence that the brutal razor-gang commissioned to kill off the NDIS we fought for has proposed that we cut the NDIS to 'save' almost exactly the same amount as it will cost for #AUKUS submarines.

Here is the math:

If the government cancelled its NDIS cuts, it would cost the budget $17.6 billion over the next four years. This proves the government is taking exactly $17.6 billion away from disabled people.

If the government cancelled the AUKUS submarines, it would save $18.0 billion over the exact same four years.

The problem is that by choosing war over people, you've created a war of another kind. A war with disabled people, our families, our workers and supporters - and with 204,000 jobs and 300,000 lives on the chopping block, a Federal election in two years is looking pretty grim.

Disability groups released fact sheets today about the sustainability of the NDIS and the real facts on sustainability, fraud, institutions and registration of providers. https://t.co/gWQjorD8em

We are going to kill our most vulnerable, including disabled children, to pay for war machines.

That doesn't seem right, or fair. Let alone humane.

This will be a genocide of another kind. And the idea of Defence is to PROTECT AUSTRALIANS - including those who cannot fight for themselves.

@AustralianLabor is going to lose the Federal election, and it will be because of what they have done to a third of our countrymen. Shame. #auspol

In his strongest condemnation yet of the Trump-Vance war against Iran, Pope Leo XIV said today:

“We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that’s becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.”

“We are met by threats instead of invitations to come together.

“Those who pray don’t threaten death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on God and turned themselves and their own power into a mute, blind, and deaf idol.

“They demand the whole world bends their knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!

“True strength is shown in serving life!”

Albo is right to say ISIS brides must face legal consequences of their actions if they return but so too must returning Aust citizens who have fought with IDF and participated in genocide and war crimes in Gaza. #auspol

If this disgraceful building is built, MFW will list all companies associated with its build, all business tenants, and any other corporation using or benefiting from it on our #DumpTrump boycott databases so all Australians (and anyone anywhere who hates Trump) can avoid paying a single cent to any of them ever.

You have our word on it.

Poland won't applaud Trump’s vanity project, the Nobel Peace Prize.

Today a major diplomatic row broke out between the U.S. and Poland because Włodzimierz Czarzasty (the Speaker of the Sejm) took a very public stand against Donald Trump.

The catalyst was a formal request from U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Israeli Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, asking international leaders to co-sign a nomination for Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Czarzasty flatly refused.

U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose responded by blacklisting Czarzasty, declaring that the U.S. Embassy would have "no further dealings, contacts, or communications" with him effective immediately.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk joined the fray, telling the U.S. Ambassador that "allies should respect, not lecture, each other.

Roman Giertych then wrote a letter (see in the comments), escalating the rhetoric by comparing the demand for the Nobel Prize to the vanity of the Emperor Nero.

Here is what Włodzimierz Czarzasty said:

Włodzimierz Czarzasty: “Building new platforms like the 'Peace Council' by the United States is, in my opinion, deceptive. We must strengthen the European Union, NATO, the UN, and the WHO. Our security lies there.
President Trump, in my opinion, destabilises these organisations by representing a policy of force and conducting transactional politics. This often breaks principles, values, and international law.
His interpretation of history—for example, regarding the participation of Polish soldiers on missions—and his instrumental treatment of other territories, like Greenland, means I will not support the Nobel request for President Trump. He does not deserve it."

Picture this: women in parts of the U.S. are being arrested and jailed for miscarriages, a medical event they didn’t choose, didn’t cause, while not a single powerful man named in the Epstein files is sitting in a jail cell. Women’s bodies are surveilled, criminalized, and punished at their most vulnerable, yet men accused of exploiting and abusing children are shielded by wealth, influence, and silence. That’s not justice. That’s a system that polices women and protects predators. If this were really about “protecting life,” the priorities would look very different. Instead, what we’re watching is blatant misogyny and it’s disgusting.

@realDonaldTrump REMINDER: We have no idea how big or how small this storm will be because Donald Trump cancelled NOAA funding.

Over 40% of our nations weather balloons are non operational because of him.

Australia no longer has 'shared values' with the USA

It is a fascist state.

Cancel #AUKUS & #ANZUS & tell the US military to get the fuck out of Australia - they're not welcome here

This is the most neutral summary I’ve seen of the Minnesota murder by ICE. It has ALL angles, it syncs them together, and shows the lead up and aftermath… if you watch this all and still think those shots were justified - you just might be a psychopath.

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
6:55pm local time:

“🇬🇱 We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic — and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.

Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.

When the President of the United States speaks of “needing Greenland” and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.

Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends.

We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country’s strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades.

But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.

Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.

Enough is enough.

No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.

We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.

Greenland is our home and our territory.
And it will remain so. 🇬🇱”

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office.

She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."
