Australia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation.
If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.

At this point any media outlet both-sidesing what even the New York Times admits was a murder is actively assisting a racist, fascist regime. This @abcnewsbot.bsky.social article is absolute garbage - centralising the gov't accounts and failing to point out the direct contradictions. ABC is cooked
![Verified footage captured at the scene shows what appears to be a scuffle between officers, Mr Pretti and two other protesters.
One of the protesters is pushed by an officer and falls. As Mr Pretti reaches for them, he is sprayed and surrounded by agents.
He struggles as he's wrestled to the ground, with one of the officers then seen striking him.
One agent appears to draw their weapon before multiple gun shots are heard. It's not clear from the videos who fired the first shot.
The agents then back away, leaving the man lying on the road as bystanders are heard screaming.
Officers are later seen administering medical aid, but Mr Pretti was pronounced dead at the scene.
Opposing narratives from local and federal authorities
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the officers' actions, arguing Mr Pretti was in possession of two loaded magazines as well as the handgun.
"This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers, committed an act of domestic terrorism," she said.
"They [the agents] responded according to their training and took action to defend the officer's life and those of the public around him."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreihhr6d5y7jtcbw5f4ainvzstaal6r6odgubxa22cuiwwh2bc66blu@jpeg)

In 2015 Australia wasn't too far way from its own version (precursor) of ICE.
Operation Fortitude was a joint Aust Border Force/Vic Police operation to crackdown on "antisocial behaviour" and "visa fraud".
Only a leaked press release and strong public outcry/protest prevented it.

We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

Here’s the blunt reality — reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but cars can’t be the future of urban mobility.
Fewer cars.
Less driving.
More inviting mobility choices.
Better communities and cities.
These are the 4 pillars of the REAL urban transportation solution.

“Better” cars just isn’t enough. As I put it recently in my advice to Irish cities, “Your goal SHOULDNT be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with a million electric vehicles. It should be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with 250K electric vehicles. The answer HAS to be FEWER cars."

No worries, Poss. I get the counter argument. But I think they have an obligation to the country to position ourselves more critically than we are. I have no sense of where they stand, but it feels all in. Carney and Starmer drew lines: I have no sense our govt has even picked up the ruler.
