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.

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.

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.

One of the reasons why I was in Melbourne/Naarm was because my boy @shaeganvishal.bsky.social invited me to a gig.
Three bands sharing the stage, friends and music lovers in the audience, and a chance to nab a few photos.

Or daily, if we’re too mouthy for some of these racist losers.
The reason we hate opening emails and messages around Invasion Day. 👇🏾
Just received this lovely email- just another day in Aust being abused for being an Aboriginal person.
It’s being reported to the police. Every email we receive automatically captures their IP address.
There are some truly disturbing people among us.

Reiterating a point until it sinks in:
Gina Rinehart’s father Lang Hancock wanted to “dope the water” to sterilise Aboriginal people and solve the “Aboriginal problem.
Gina inherited his wealth and donates it to the sorts of politicians who push the most racist anti-Aboriginal narratives possible.

The Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth was targeted and attacked with an explosive device.
The silence from the right has been deafening.
