History teaches us something critical that all the propaganda desperately doesn't want us to understand. Small acts of decency, courage and kindness have unknowable but sometimes massive ripple effects. So much of fighting fascism is literally just not being a cunt.

"No Happy Endings" is a love song I wrote about being a wildly romantic (and occasionally melancholic) person in a deeply challenging era. It's the 1st single from my album The Resurrection Game, out September 12 on Tiny Ghost.
I'd love if it if you gave it a listen:

4 Corners. Andrew Hastie Liberal minister, said that the Voice referendum was "a big win for us". Really? If you won, how come nothing changed? The gap is not closing? Lobbyists are still in parliament? Nobody won, Australia lost, Aboriginal people lost, the truth lost, unity lost, and humanity lost

NYU canceled an invited talk by the former president of Doctors Without Borders, out of fear her talk would be accused by the government of being both anti-Trump and antisemitic: ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215...
Une conférence de la Dre Joanne Liu annulée par NYU
L'université de New York allègue que son contenu peut être perçu comme antisémite, mais Joanne Liu croit que NYU craint en fait de déplaire à Donald Trump.

Nice of Tanya to wear her salmon pink so proudly today.
Live footage of Tanya Plibersek eating a giant shit sandwich and selling out Australia's environment to curry favour with foreign salmon companies that pay no tax. Bravo

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees.
The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

It’s a shame we can’t be more like Norway.
In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.
