I don’t know which men need to hear this but: women don’t owe you or me anything.
Heavy week.

As ways, with Invasion Day.

This god awful week long heatwave (every day reaching 40+ degrees C).

The bombing attempt.

The lacklustre response from officials.

The bigots trolling, saying they wish it had gone off.

Looking forward to the weekend, especially the forecast cool change.

The police shouldn’t have had to be dragged to investigating the Perth attack as terrorism by Mob in Boorloo and social/social media pressure.

Would be cool if someone talked to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social / @zeteo.com about the Perth Invasion Day attempted bombing and the piss poor response from authorities and politicians, and piss poor coverage from national media.

I think that another Indigenous mass gathering is required. To show that we’re not intimidated and we are angry.

And another thing:

Why are there “concerns for his safety” for the attempted bomber?

We didn’t get any of that shit with the surviving Bondi shooter.

It’s pushing a ‘savage blacks would seek revenge’ narrative, hey?

Bernard Keane needs to shut the fuck up.
A profligate government. An unelectable opposition. Bad news for the economy. Victorianisation has reached Canberra, aruge Bernard Keane and Glenn Dyer.
Are mortgage holders about to feel the first pains of careless, big spending Victorianisation?

Another woman murdered at the hands of a man known to her. She was found Weds am on Eastern Beach, Geelong. Domestic terrorism continues to thrive in Australia. When will politicians show even a fraction of the concern for women that they've shown the Jewish community? #auspol

It's now 2 terrorist attacks against Aboriginal people:

Jan 26 bomb with shrapnel hurled at Aboriginal people & their supporters in Perth.

Aug 31 neo Nazis attack Aboriginal people at Camp Sovereign in Melbourne.

Liberal Party, One Nation, Newscorp & Advance hate campaigns are fueling it.

Following Scott Morrison’s logic that the entire Australian Muslim community has to take responsibility for the Bondi shooting, I say all white people have to apologise for the Perth terror attack, starting with a Morrison.

Come on, Scott, say sorry.

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will feature Charlie Cox beating up ICE agents while dressed as a Devil.

Okay, technically they’re Wilson Fisk’s anti-vigilante taskforce, but they’re a private army enacting the violent will of a controlling, abusive, wealthy tyrant from New York, so same thing.

You get pretty calloused to insults as an Aboriginal person.

You hear em all.

“abo”. Some of us get “half-caste”. Variations in “dirty”, “ape”, insinuations and stereotypes about us being violent.

I’m used to it.

But something has got to me this week. The wishes that the bomb did detonate.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It was a rally of Indigenous people and those who support them, protesting a celebration occurring on a day marking the anniversary of the start of the genocide of those Indigenous people.

Someone attempted to bomb the rally.

Highly political day, event, and action.

Clearly terrorism.

Textbook.

I need a @pearlmania500.bsky.social style shouting response to the Perth Invasion Day terror attack and the lack of response to it from much of the media and political classes.

There is no post credit scene at the end of Melania, but it does include a little message that says:

Donald will return in The Epstein Files.

That is currently stuck in coverup hell.

It’s overwhelmingly female MPs and Senators calling out the Invasion Day terrorist attack.

Not surprised, just noting.
