Some media have reported that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has dropped her defamation claim against SA premier Peter Malinauskas. That is incorrect. She has resolved her separate defamation claim against Adelaide Festival Corporation.

That’s what we want in Australia.
We'll say it again: "social cohesion", when uttered by the holders of political and social power and privilege, means simply the maintenance of the dominant culture and silencing of any challenge to it.

Enten: "Americans at this point do not like ICE. And that's very different from what we saw during Trump's first term. We're talking about -17 approval rating. That's a 17 point drop from where we were during Trump's first term. Among independents, the number is even lower."

This evidence from World War II was that strategic bombing actually enhanced the cohesion of enemy populations.
A good deal of violence against civilians from WWII bombings of cities onward assumes that the will of the people can be crushed and it generally fails. As the piece mentions, partly on the assumption that most people are cowardly and selfish. Mostly we're not.
