Foreign Facebook pages have been promoting One Nation. It wants them to stop An ABC NEWS Verify investigation uncovers a raft of foreign Facebook accounts targeting Australian users. And they're just the tip of the iceberg.

So the best way to engage the algorithm is to stoke anger. What could possibly go wrong ๐Ÿ˜ถ

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

The US Immigration Industrial Complex is a Threat to Everyone If President Dwight D. Eisenhower were alive today, he very well may warn of the ever-growing immigration industrial complex.

"US immigration enforcement has evolved into a rapidly growing multi-billion-dollar industry in which profitability increasingly dictates policy and enforcement priorities."

There are people in Australia who are a threat to my wellbeing. Whose version of "Australian values" is diametrically opposed to my own and that of everyone I know. Can we deport ON supporters?

Looking at the footage of Australian children hoping to escape a Syrian refugee camp, all I know is that if you want to prevent terrorism and violence you get them out of there. You don't pillory them. You don't shove cameras in their faces or guns in their backs.

I had a lengthy exchange with the Meta help-bot after they tried to charge me and complained they only had my old visa card. They are unable to state what the charge is for, if there's any authority to charge, or why they have any card of mine on file let alone legality to use it.

Money, money, money: Child abuse may not spur action, but money does Why is an email about the trade trip apparently more compelling than the detailed and painful evidence of a woman?

"In all the weeks of this Epstein horror, this is the moment with which I am most struggling: that accusations of child abuse won't get authorities out of bed, but accusations of sharing trade information will, and I want to howl to the heavens with anger."

Jews are not the only semitic people, btw. Its a linguistic sleight of hand to make antisemitism a crime but to exclude the majority of semitic people from the definition: Palestinians and other Arab groups
