I don't believe in banning any political ideology's right to speak in public. I loathe Nazism, it's full of hate, plays the victim card and has a tenuous grip on reality and but so does Sky News After Dark and that is broadcast nationally. The only difference is the uniforms. #auspol

I’m rereading Liz Cheney’s book Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning. It occurs to me that Moses Mike Johnson is clearly guilty of treason. It also provides valuable insight on why he committed it. So he could personally benefit.

No-one was MAKING staff go to this session. If anyone felt unsafe hearing about children’s health during war, they could have just …. chosen not to attend.
It was obviously cancelled to ensure NO-ONE would talk about it.
Again and again: free speech silenced at the behest of an organised pro-Israel lobby group by weak-kneed management.
If people don’t stand up to this pressure there won’t be a single institution left in which anyone can talk about the genocide in Gaza.
