I think Genocide is black and white, we had a world war about it because people all over the world agreed it is wrong, if you can't see a clear moral line there then you can't be trusted. Same with human rights abuses of refugees, if you can't have moral clarity about that then wtf.

No, I don't want Peter Dutton to be Prime Minister. He's unequivocally a racist cunt. But to claim the ALP is beyond reproach is as divorced from reality as pretending the Liberals are better economic managers, or whatever the myth of the day is

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

It's truly staggering the number of ppl that can't see the link between US domestic fascism and a foreign policy of genocide against brown people in Palestine. Did you fuckers only read half a history book?

At the start of COVID, we all learned how to beat airborne viruses like the flu: by wearing masks and staying home when we are sick. It's a real shame we haven't translated those important lessons into long-term behavioral change.

It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children.

It is so hard to get through to people that before food stamps, kids starved. Before meat inspections, kids died. Before vaccines, kids died. You're choosing to kill children to save a buck & you refuse to see it because it's not real to you

An steroid up to 300ft wide now has a 2.2% chance of colliding into Earth. It could prompt a space mission to intercept it.

People always believe they will be the exception to disability and chronic illness
There will be a cure when it’s their turn. They will try hard enough and get better
They can’t accept that many things have no cure. It’s no one’s fault. Most people will face disability at some point in their lives
