‘#TemuTrump’ is now in #Hansard
The next question is from #Greens MP Stephen Bates, who asks:

“#Albo, why would you invite #TrumpCoup to #Australia when you have a Temu Trump sitting opposite you right now!”

He’s immediately asked to rephrase the question.

Attempt two from Bates is much more serious:

“Given Trump’s #attacks on #democracy & western institutions, & even #threatening our #allies & even the PBS [Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme], why would you #invite him to Australia?” #auspol

Albo, Aussie PM - terrified of Trump?

#Kremlin on March 18 announced it agreed to #US proposed partial #ceasefire against certain targets in Ukraine, claiming Putin had “responded favorably to the proposal & immediately” ordered his armed forces to halt attacks

Despite the announcement — made after a call between #Putin & #Trump — #Russian #missile & #drone #attacks against #Ukraine continued

In his first response to the #Trump #Putin call, President #Zelensky made clear he would support any end to #Russian #attacks on his country’s #energy #infrastructure.

That is no surprise because it was part of his own plan. But that’s the key point: the Russian offer is only part of the interim ceasefire plan the US and Ukraine had agreed.

Putin, he said, was still setting out “additional conditions” before he would agree a ceasefire and that showed Russia was “not ready to finish this war”.

Zelensky insisted Western powers would continue giving Ukraine military aid – despite Russian demands that they stop.

And he also said Russian demands for #Ukraine to be prevented from rearming during a ceasefire was just designed to weaken its armed forces.

As Zelensky gave his press briefing, #airraid sirens rang out across Kyiv. The irony was not lost on anybody including Zelensky who said it once again showed Russia could not be trusted.

#Trump wants #Zelenskyy to show willingness to make concessions including #territorial cessions to #russia, movement toward #elections, and possibly stepping down.

Russia has intensified #attacks following the #US aid pause, making Friday one of the deadliest days for civilians this year according to UN monitors.

The US continues sharing defensive #intelligence (warning Ukraine of impending attacks) but has stopped providing offensive targeting #coordinates.

The #US has effectively opened a second front—this time, against #Ukraine. #Aid has been suspended, #intelligence sharing is restricted, and #Trump has not allocated #funds to Ukraine. The suspension threatens Ukraine’s air #defense and precision strikes, while #Russia escalates #attacks. Trump’s policy favors #Putin, using negotiations as leverage to keep aid on hold. The outcome of talks will determine future support, leaving Ukraine in a precarious position.

As #Russia continues in failure to achieve #military objectives, their focus has shifted toward increasing the indiscriminate #attacks on #Ukraine’s civilian population.

#Drone and #missile barrages are at record levels, targeting homes, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, post offices, and vital infrastructure. These attacks have no military justification—merely atrocities.

Russians have just bombed a hotel in the city of Kryvyi Rih, purely civilian target.

Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said buffer zones are necessary to ensure safe #access to #health-care centers.

“No #patient should have to encounter #threats, #intimidation, & #attacks while seeking #healthcare — & no #medical provider or health center staff should be threatened because of their work to deliver #abortion care to patients in need….Buffer zones & bubble zones help to create a safer environment for patients, providers, & staff.”

"This is a shock and awe playbook. #Trump and his acolytes are flooding the zone with one outrageous plan after another in the hopes we will balk at the sheer size and scope of their efforts. But we will not relent now. This is the time for all of us who have chosen federal service to fight back. We cannot let these #attacks on our democracy go unchallenged."

Take a stand. Send a letter to your #governor today and demand they #protect Workers #Rights, repeal right-to-work laws, and defend unions from corporate #attacks.

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Your Governor: Protect Workers Rights! With a new, anti-union occupant of the White House, the battle to protect workers’ rights shifts to the statehouse. Donald Trump’s top surrogate, Elon Musk, is currently suing in the hopes of getting the Supreme Court to argue that the National Labor Relations Act is unconstitutional. Workers are counting on Governors and State Legislatures to protect our rights to organize. Can you send a letter to your governor today urging them to take action to protect workers? Here are three things that state governments can do right now to protect workers’ right to organize: Allow striking workers to receive unemployment benefits (UI): Strikes are one of the most powerful tools workers have, but they can also be an economic hardship. So far, nine states have passed legislation allowing strikers to receive UI benefits. Bottom line: UI for strikers helps workers stay on the picket line and win against corporate greed. Pass “worker freedom of conscience” laws: These laws prohibit bosses from forcing their employees to attend meetings where they are subjected to political, religious, or anti-union propaganda on the clock. Studies have shown that workers are less likely to win their union the more they are forced to attend anti-union meetings, which employers conduct in about 90% of union drives. So far, at least 10 states have passed laws prohibiting captive audience meetings Repeal “right-to-work” laws: “Right to work” sounds nice, but the reality is that right-to-work laws weaken unions by allowing unionized workers to opt out of paying union dues while still benefiting from a union contract. States with RTW laws have lower union density and higher income inequality than states that don’t. Twenty-five states currently have RTW laws. Use our simple tool to send a message directly to your Governor!
