"I was with a 72-year-old woman who’d asked the police how we should get out of there, when suddenly the police charged with the horses and began pepper-spraying people"
So many stories I've heard are like this. People just trying to get out, not agitate, just getting attacked by police.

I'm also still pretty ignorant about the whole Kurdish/Syria situation, but luckily there's a briefing with @davidshoebridge.bsky.social on Thursday for anyone who wants to learn more. Hopefully can learn some way to help apart from solidarity (but maybe even just more of that would be good..)

Obviously still so much going on locally and across the world, and the Kurdish people are still being murdered and displaced without a lot of attention from the rest of the world.
Aussie Kurds have another rally this weekend, though sadly I have another commitment already and can't attend ☹️

Going car-free is the best thing most people can do for climate. To reduce car dependency, cities should promote car-free living, supporting compact cities through policy, and investing in public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and shared mobility options.

Well, I spent less than 10 minutes on a ferry today, and a random lady who was interested in my bike has now been recruited to attend this BBQ 😂
Maybe I should just ride the ferry around all day and try to interest more people in coming along.
(Also, if you're around - please do come!)

In what fucking world are we living in that any of this police violence can be considered reasonable? Shocker of a headline from the ABC, normalising police brutality.
What is reasonable? It's a question being asked by some after footage of clashes in Sydney's CBD, during a rally against Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit.

I think this is not very clear to people, but the police blocked all the exits and protestors could not get out, even the ones who were not intending to march.
People just wanted to leave but were trapped by police, then charged at by cops, pepper sprayed and assaulted.

Crikey was on the ground at the Sydney protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. We captured the confusion about how and where protesters should leave the rally, beginning with a heated discussion between NSW Police and NSW Greens MPs.
