lol. Karens against ICE.
Dear White Women,
Are you ready to FULL-ON Karen ICE agents in your community?
DEMAND to see the manager? DEMAND to see the warrant? Ask them if they know WHO they’re talking to? FILM it all?
No. Really.
Are you ready to do this?
Our job is to spend our privilege - EVERYWHERE it is useful.

It means you're in the office every damned day, every damned week, every damned month, all year long.

This ANZAC day I am reflecting on an active genocide in which our nation is complicit.
That we don't yet recognise the Frontier Wars fought on our soil.
That there are people with so little respect for our nation they will refuse to acknowledge whose Country they are on.

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?

It is an article of faith in Trump’s era that - aside from the crime of defying him - nobody resigns for anything. Nobody is fired for anything. Nobody even admits fault. However egregious the act, accountability would be a win for the libs, and denying that is more important than anything.
