Sorry but a bit cranky and more than a bit pissed off about "the unions" blah blah. Are we up to $100b yet?
Totally happy to chase corruption & blue collar crime, thievery needs to be stopped.

Towards the end of this clip, hearing dickwad talking to Minns describe using selective clips to make the wallopers look bad (they do alright in that regard themselves) the Muslim prayers as "baiting police, in the middle of a riot"... is abject bullshit.

Historically, one third buy and actively support the bad things. One third actively oppose the bad things happening and the remaining third seem to think "what can I do about it?"
Be the third that gets off your arses to shut supremacism and apartheid down.

ABC reporting Albanese was in Boorloo today and “did not have time” to meet with Noongar elders. In his defence, Albanese said he had been to funerals of police in Queensland and Melbourne and sat with people in Bondi ie members of groups who consistently commit and support lethal racist violence.

Also something that the Australian political and media establishment refuses to acknowledge: the existence of anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine Jews.
Whenever mainstream media talks glibly of "the Jewish community", they are excluding those who absolutely oppose the Israel lobby.

Hope is not a soft word in prison. It shapes how people cope with their sentence and it determines whether - and how - they engage with staff and other prisoners.

It's 15 degrees here in Minneapolis.
Beautiful weather to clean sidewalks for the house raids. I hosed mine down last night.
And to be Minnesota nice, show your generosity and give those ICE vehicles a free neighborhood car wash. I'd use the mist setting. We don't want that water running off.

This should be more obvious to everyone, but we cannot let the people comfortable with the mass slaughter of children further shape our culture, our democracies, our future as a species. It's the path to a depraved fascistic hellhole.
