If the last three days demonstrate one thing, it's that the right (via the media) controls the narrative in this country.

The conservatives forces using the Bondi Massacre to instigate a crackdown of freedoms of speech and the right to assembly are completely disgusting.
Protesting genocide and the actions of the Netanyahu Israeli govt are not antisemitic.

Don't you think the public has a reasonable expectation that the Commissioner of the NACC being paid well above $800,000 would consider this a full time job and not also seek to freelance outside of it?

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

Gambling, housing, climate, Gaza, AUKUS etc etc. The captain’s arm has ossified at the tiller as the wind blows us towards the shoals, yet any questioning is treated as mutiny and ruthlessly suppressed. I fear for the ship, crew and the slaves in the hold.
