Live on unceded Gadigal/Bidjigal lands. Grateful for steady as she goes Labor government and for the checks and balances in our system. Praying the devil will drag Trump down to hell where he belongs sooner rather than later.

Why are a small group of pro- Israel players at Victor Chang research institute being allowed to weaponise antisemitism in a way that stops researcher working on a publicly funded project? Wendy Bacon

Love Ireland - bravest little country - standing alone against the horror of Gaza and West Bank. Right side of history.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted - guess I’m speechless at what’s happening in USA. But tonight after Bolton raid I’m wondering if it’s only a matter of time before Americans begin fleeing and seeking political asylum.

Ultra-local news:
- Waverley to ban alcohol at #BronteBeach for Xmas day, plus no glass & a clear end time
- will cost $200k+ to enforce

(Given that 1/2 the park is closed off while they rebuild the surf club, there may be few want to go to Bronte for Xmas anyway 🤔)

Crackdowns on Bronte Beach's Orphans Christmas Party Could Turn It Booze-Free

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.
