Sewell played this incredibly well and the decision to unmask and keep his white supremacist talking points within a margin of error from that of the Murdoch rags effectively sponsoring the marches mainstreams the nsn among the casually racist to a disturbing extent.
It would be a massive mistake for progressive folk to convince themselves the March for Australia was a bust, or can safely be ridiculed.
It was an alarming escalation of far-right action, and we need to reckon with it.

Grace Tame axed from Nike ambassador role after discovery she is anti-genocide and anti-starving a population to death
This is cancel-culture,
a disgrace by Nike.
Being pro-Palestine is just a response to the brutality & unjustifiable treatment of the Palestinian people by the criminal Netanyahu
government.

Ethnic cleansing with the support of many governments around the world. I feel powerless to do anything in response to this horror for the Gazan people. Where is the empathy?
The Israeli military said on Saturday that it had begun mobilizing its forces in preparation to advance farther into Gaza, seize more land and displace more civilians, adding that it was already conducting intense airstrikes ahead of the planned offensive.

Such a dictator move.
$90 million.
Trump fired thousands of Veterans to "save money," but wants taxpayers to pay $90 million for a military parade on his birthday. What a disgrace.
