David Littleproud clearly getting nervous at the prospect of stronger gun laws has labelled gun sale restrictions a “cheap political diversion” by the govt to the Bondi attack.

Does he realise one of the terrorists legally owned six firearms? I think he knows but doesn’t care.

John Howard made Australia a target for terrorism by illegally invading Iraq & contributing to the rise of ISIS who went on to radicalise the Bondi attackers. He should apologise to Jewish Australians, and all Australians. #auspol

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
