QED Tyranny
So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

'Writers understand the importance of free speech and civilized debate... that protecting a space for nuance and complexity is vital to our civic life...that silencing voices with which you disagree is the first step towards tyranny'.

Politicians and their advisors are herding us into tyranny.
‘Malinauskus was in tears at his press conference today’

Peter Malinauskas is a man of sport, not letters. He spruiks South Australia as the home of the AFL’s admittedly excellent Gather Round, and sequesters its capital’s famed parklands for use by the blood-drenched Saudis’ LIV Golf.

Every arts festival, large or small is likely now thinking, and probably, second guessing/self censoring as a result of this extraordinarily public cuffing and gagging.
"Malinauskus was regularly agitating for Abdel-Fattah’s cancellation... Eventually, the board relented. They had seen what had happened at Bendigo, and they did it anyway."

Trump invaded a foreign country and kidnapped their leader, bombed their capitol, and is holding a press conference about it - not at the White House - but at his resort.

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela.

And this does cross a red line of violating the UN Charter -- where the boat strikes on high seas had not.

It is most interesting to see how our #government and #media DO NOT discuss rising #youth poverty, #violence against #women ( and muslims & #immigrants), FN #DeathsInCustody rising, OR the #impact of #ClimateDenial on everyone.
Just how to protect one very small group who support #genocide. #auspol
Talk about overkill from govt on this! Apparently only 100,000 people listed their religion as Jewish on the census. They have dozens of lobby groups, massive Federal funding and now demand an RC to cost more millions. Zionist bullying is being uncovered, so interesting!
We're on that slippery slope to real social chaos when our politicians actually want to fly this flag in the community

It’s #winter. The buzzing has stopped - mostly.
So what’s happened to all the #bees?
Let me explain.
Please #repost this thread.
Don’t just like/look.
It literally takes you a second. Costs you nothing.
Bees are in trouble and need you good people to help.

There is no possible excuse for militarising policing in any Australian society, especially so if such militarisation involves permitting a private enterprise with links to foreign intelligence cabals to be armed in public.
