Not only did Disney pay $0 in federal income taxes last year due to Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” it got a $1.4 billion tax refund after making $12.4 billion in profits.
“Corporation will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a Big Lie. It never trickles down. Ever.
Disney is moving toward thousands of job cuts with the entertainment giant asking some managers to target 20% in annual cost savings, according to people familiar with the matter. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The sexist and racist abuse being hurled at my colleagues Mehreen Faruqi and Steph Hodgins-May is vile, and it's designed to marginalise women in public life. No one should have to face this, but I also know that Steph and Mehreen are fierce, principled and staying strong.

President Trump claimed that AI oligarchs could regulate themselves because they “love our country.”
Now, Google is threatening schools: if you stop your students from using AI, we will cut off your access to Google Search.
That’s not love. That’s extortion.
PAUSE AI NOW.

This should be setting off alarm bells across the country! Dozens of polling locations have been shut down in a Texas swing county, and people should be demanding answers.
I will never understand how Americans can sit back and tolerate what appears to be blatant voter suppression. Making it harder for people to vote should spark outrage, not silence.
Democracy doesn’t disappear overnight. It’s dismantled piece by piece, while too many people look the other way.

J.D. Souther would have been 81 today.
He co-wrote "Best of My Love," "New Kid in Town" and "Heartache Tonight" for the Eagles, and he had his own hit with "You're Only Lonely."
This is magical. RIP J.D.

Democracy is precious
Use it

MELBOURNE CUP INTEREST DROPS TO RECORD LOW 📉
The race that no longer stops a nation.
"Growing disdain for gambling and animal cruelty concerns drive sliding interest in race that once ‘stopped the nation’."

Why is Labor so obsessed with horse racing?
They've given $900 million of our taxpayer money to the industry over 10 years!
At the same time, Labor is cutting funding for the things Victorians actually need - schools, healthcare and public housing.

This year, as every year, I'm saying #NupToTheCup. The #MelbourneCup is a celebration of animal cruelty and gambling. #auspol

Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.

I am terrified the Democrats won’t win the midterms. I am terrified what Trump will do if he loses. Fuck you America, for putting the rest of the world in this terrifying place. We will never forget you elected him TWICE!!!! #Midterms26

Is Melbourne Cup Day set to be 'take out the trash day' for the Victorian Government?
Last Friday, all 79 Victorian councils demanded an immediate moratorium on new data centre approvals. Yet, Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny has NINE data centre proposals sitting on her desk seeking planning decisions today. That's because, at 6pm, the government enters caretaker mode and a freeze is placed on decision-making until after the election.
Meanwhile Jess Wilson's Liberals won't commit to a policy on new data centres.
You can't trust the parties to look after our communities, our environment, or our climate. Vote Independent at the Victorian state election.
