If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

Some of the most abhorrent, vile and racist discourse is happening right now. It’s shameful. Mourn with the families and friends of the victims, celebrate the Syrian Muslim hero who stepped up unarmed and faced the attacker and denounce all violence perpetrated on innocent lives

weird how every news outlet and right wing mouthpiece had a bunch of anti-immigration screeds ready to run the instant something happened. Almost like regardless of what happened they were going to run anti-migration screeds.

You are a garbage person if you’re using Gaza to spread Anti-Semitism. You are also a garbage person if you’re using what happened in Sydney to spread Islamophobia. Hope this helps.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

The next two weeks are going to be thick with the most putrid coverage and discourse we’ve ever had to wade through as a nation. Get the facts and then tune out and log off if you must. You are under no obligation to drink the poison.
The shittest Australians you can think of are touching themselves right now. They've got engagement brain. They're thinking about posts, snap rallies and their 'brand'. They're hoping they can get a Cronulla going and hurt a bunch of random innocents while the engagement is still fresh.

Responding accusations (or, more precisely, observations) that 🇬🇪 is now essentially 🇧🇾, the GD-appointed President Mikheil Kavelashvili said:
"There are so many differences between Georgia & Belarus: nature, air, temperature, and so on... And it's a Presidential country, while we are Parliamentary."

Very sad news coming to us here in Queensland from NSW Bondi Beach. Thoughts with all.
There will be media speculation in coming days, weeks, months & years. The office of the NSW Coroner is the only one that can establish the facts here.
Plz don't react to anything in media.

Violence has no place in any society. My thoughts are with everyone in Bondi right now.
As always: please remember to hold back opinions and unverified stories until the police are able to update on what has occurred. And please, don't share footage of the shootings.

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

You can’t tell me this is just about principles & not propaganda. Israel has become the wedge issue, and fascist dark money is taking advantage.
