@bangkokaussie Well Iโve just switched to the public health system from private. Luckily I can wake up at 4am and โcheck inโ on the app then turn up for my 9am appointment that Iโll sit around waiting for until ~ 1pm. Thanks to the free WiFi, I can get on with lots of things during that time ๐
Let me read you the MAGA checklist. ๐๐ผ
We were going to release the Epstein files.
Until Trump showed up in the Epstein files. So we bombed people to distract from them.
We bombed a school in Iran with young kids in it.
We built Alligator Alcatraz โ a sewage-backed penitentiary for immigrants in Florida โ and laughed about it on camera.
We kidnapped children and didn't know where we were sending them.
We manipulated the markets. Repeatedly.
We accepted a $400 million jet as a bribe and kept it after leaving office.
We excoriated allies who stood with us for over a century.
Threatened to attack a NATO country. Treated Canada like an enemy.
We came after the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights of American citizens.
Every price in America went up because of the tariffs.
Then came the tax bill - if you make a million dollars or more โ $7,000 benefit.
If you make $50,000 or less โ we're taking $500 away from you.
But here's what's finally moving the needle: Gas prices.
It turns out the red line for MAGA is $8 a gallon going into the 250th birthday of America.
Nobody wants to grill hot dogs and explain to their kids why it costs $120 to fill the tank.
The approval ratings are going into the gutter.
And he doesn't care.
That's the part that should terrify everyone.
@PaulieStewart So great to see them honored in East Timor. Never could forget this. So shameful that you and your family still havenโt seen anyone take accountability for their deaths ๐
While many remember today the death of my brother & 4 other journalists at Balibo Timor Leste in 1975 by invading Indonesian forces, please spare a thought for the more than 250,000 Timorese who died during their subsequent 24 year bloody occupation.
@PaulieStewart I remember this very well, and was friends with your sister Annie back in the day. Such a shameful cover up with no repercussions. There were so many more there that were never documented, too. The world looked away.
Gaza is one of the oldest urban centres on Earth, and in this series we are exploring its long history. It was first referred to by Pharaoh Thutmose III in the 15th century BC when it was known as Ghazzati....
Powerful words from historian @DalrympleWill on Gaza, exposing how Britainโs colonial legacy played a key role in creating this injustice. The suffering in Gaza didnโt start yesterday, it was engineered long ago. #Gaza#Palestin๐ต๐ธ
