How the fuck do we live in a place where the most powerful men to exist have just been more heavily implicated in systematic child rape, torture and murder yet our entire mainstream media is SILENT except for a brief report on the cunt previously known as Prince Andrew?

‘Just live your life.’

Has to be the ultimate in gaslighting.

That actually was the plan.

I certainly wasn’t planning on noisy bigots spreading lies and calling for restrictions and loss of rights. Go tell them to ‘just live your life’.

Nobody in Britain pays any attention to Australian politics, but One Nation overtaking the Coalition in the polls has distinct parallels with Reform leading the Conservatives. Parties on the radical right are coming for centre right parties across the world...

Our govt is complicit in genocide so it's up to us to stand up and say NO to Herzog. No to Israel.

And there it is. In exchange for supporting their transphobia, the Christian right are now holding anti trans howlers to their part of the deal. Go after abortion. Trans people told you. Real feminists told you.

Australian government is allowing violent men to flourish yet law enforcement grows by the day? Who are they policing?

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦

What things like the attempted terrorist attack in Perth and Scott's public Islamophobia speak to is the deep social division our governments and media have facilitated by the self-evident hypocrisy in how they've dealt with the past two years of domestic rupture arising from Israel/Gaza.
