This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

That "in trouble" feeling-- & how much we absolutely HATE that feeling-- isn't evidence we're "immature" or "thin skinned."

Australia's recognition of Palestine comes with conditions, including "demilitarisation". So, as Israel continues its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, and expands its illegal settlements in the West Bank, Palestine is to be demilitarised?! This is insane. #auspol #FreePalestine

As a Canadian it’s hard for me to comprehend a country that allows its citizens to be bankrupt because they got sick.
That allows people to go without healthcare because they don’t have money or insurance.
Adding medical debt to a credit report is exceedingly cruel.

Medical debt shouldn’t ever be a thing in a developed country. No other Western industrialized nation has it.
