This place is nice, I like it, but there are so many that I have no common connection with.

I don't follow US football, & I'm not a veteran, but I am an ally to lgbtqia+, believe in social justice, kindness & our shared humanity.

So if I don't follow you back, this is also part of the reason...

The idea that massive crackdown on anti-genocide protests in universities, and refusing to support Palestinian statehood would have somehow prevented last Sunday's terror attack in Bondi has already infected Aus media so deep that they're taking it as a truism

This morning the very evil President of the USA very predictably mocked the death of a good man. He did so to distract from his crimes, but also because he’s evil and can’t help rejoicing over the murder of his critics.

Go ahead, Donold. Have your fun, when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

The Bondi shootings were a terrorist act.

Well, that’s it for #ABC24 for me. I’m full of compassion for what happened in Bondi for those killed especially the child 😢 I just cannot watch any more of these interviews and opinions from people whom I do not respect who continue to create division in this country.

"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."

Antisemitism, Islamophobia...and any form of prejudice, hatred and racism, have no part in Australian society.

Now, more than ever, is a time for love, understanding, empathy, patience, caution and care, and not ignorance, division, hatred and misplaced retribution.
