My friend Ollie needs NDIS support quite urgently
Ironically, it can cost a lot to access the NDIS, due to the level of medical information required
Please consider helping Ollie, by giving to their fund &/or sharing with your networks and friends!

🧵Note #Auspol. We now have as Shadow Treasurer someone who was not only an Atlas Network partner actor, and also on the Mont Pelerin Society, but someone who was shortlisted for the top 🌎 Atlas Network prize for betraying Australia for fossil fuel. He led a team rewarded for killing the carbon price

Surely, if these Australian citizens are not allowed to return to Australia, the same should apply to those who fight with the IDF in Gaza?

Meanwhile Australia just gave the greenlight for 3 more devastatingly huge fossil fuel plants and opened up the Kimberely watertables to fracking. Fracking is forever and poisons water.

FWIW I wish it said 'Indigiphobia' (or something) instead of 'experience' to describe racism against mob. Less mollifying terms are needed in a title that also describes Islamaphobia and Antisemitism.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Incredible commentary from this Swiss announcer, who accurately characterizes the Israeli team as "Self-defined zionist to the core...who posted several messages in favour of the genocide in Gaza...calling it ‘the most morally just war in history.’”

One in five children infected in the recent London measles outbreak were reportedly hospitalised.
Don’t believe the anti-vaxxers when they say “it’s a mild disease” or “it’s better to get immunity naturally”.
It isn’t.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Absolutely right. Like Chris, I resent the framing that European governments are learning this from the US. It’s totally routine for hundreds of black African people to drown in the Mediterranean when trying to reach Europe. The EU, and its homegrown structural racism, enabled that all by itself.
Rather obviously so. European governments are closer to the Trumpists in practice than people would like to think.
