The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but we can take at least some solace in the fact that bakeries, libraries, cafés, bookstores, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Gosh I’m so surprised.
Crissafulla-shyte promised no health cuts b4 the QLD election.
While the numpties believed the LNP & RW propagandic bullshyte - we didn’t. We’ve seen it all b4 under Campbell Newman.
First was pill testing. Now nurse-led clinics, a service that takes pressure off hospitals- will b cut.
What next?
