I left the other place because it was bleak & overcast. This place is calmer & has a nice bluesky.
So, as we thought, the police blame the protesters for police brutality.
And the last paragraph Herzog, the war criminal claims the protesters are denying Israel's right to exist. A war criminal & a liar. #FreePalestine #auspol

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

It’s worth looking for parallels today in the halftime show at one of the US’s whitest sports and the Herzog protests.

Witnessed many right wing accounts & media, not only Not coming out against the gov's stronger anti-protest laws, reductions in freedom, police overreach and brutality, but openly supporting it.

Their double standard, bigotry is seen.

These are the kinds of cases Tom Homan means when he says they’re prioritizing targeting people with “criminal records”
*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen
*Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record
*In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release
*He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation
And here is my story: ‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September

Whatever you think about the protests against Herzog — and nothing I say should be taken as an endorsement of any particular position — the fact that every major protest went smoothly (Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin, Adelaide) except Sydney suggests a Sydney-specific policing problem.

@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social and @albomp.bsky.social this what you wanted? I can't vote Labor again, you are a disgrace for allowing a war criminal to come here.

Man in light coloured shirt, hands up or by his side as multiple police pull at lanyard around his neck &/or repeatedly punch him.
Police brutality? Or just utter fucked up misconduct and is a civil rights violation?

Just saw a report on ABC News 24 - they show none of the footage of police punching people, or Police pulling people away as they’re in prayer. They just show police and protestors scuffling - saying Police used pepper spray. That’s how you get away with it. NewsCorp etc will be worse #auspol
How on earth is the media gonna spin this.
They will have to get extremely creative to pull this one off.
Will we wake up tomorrow to hear that we are all Hamas and deserve being ruffed up by NSW police?
It will be interesting to see what they come up with by 5.30 tomorrow morning.

Omg - seeing terrible vision of police brutality against protesters - which happened after I had left.

It was a peaceful protest - with a lot of people - who were very crammed in #auspol
Very peaceful. And a huge cross section of Australian society.
May have some issues towards the end (big crowd in a small space and a lot of Police who were hemming people in) - but don’t believe any other narrative the media might be promoting #auspol

Melbourne had things to say today. @albomp.bsky.social supports genocide. Anti-zionism isn't anti-semitism. Go home Isaac Herzog. No place here for war criminals. Not welcome. #FreePalastine

In the name of "social cohesion" NSW Police in Australia assaulted peaceful people praying.

Shame on them! Racist pigs.

No doubt Minns and his masters in the Zionist lobby will try to portray the protestors as violent thugs who refused to follow government orders.
