Until you get close to it you never really grasp just how many people and groups there are telling govt what they want to hear so they can say they have “talked to govt” and groups and people who advise the govt to do nothing because that will never be controversial.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Sadly the silence of Australian NGOs on Palestinian liberation that @nehamadhok.bsky.social wrote about in 2024 continues today, despite the violent genocide we are witnessing every day. open.substack.com/pub/nehamadh...
The silence from non-profits on Palestine is thunderous
And it speaks volumes. Most Australian nonprofits are silent, or worse, both-siding genocide. Anti-racism means showing up, even when it’s risky. Here’s what solidarity looks like. If your nonprofit t...

And the lines all our nations have allowed Israel to wilfully stomp over will come back on all of us. There is no international law now. No one is safe. Nothing they do matters. You could see 40,000 babies burned in a room and it would barely make a ripple in the mainstream. I’m so, so broken

Every year, after IWD, the silence returns.The panels end. The hashtags fade. And the power structures stay the same.

So what actually changes? 🧵

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

DEI doesn’t work because these are employer-led initiatives that live in Human Resources (HR) departments.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This is about stoking fear, and division, and importing Trump-style policies to distract from the real issues facing Australians: cost of living, housing affordability, and climate disasters like Ex Cyclone Alfred. Read the full piece: nehamadhok.substack.com/p/deportatio...

Oh goody! Six cyclones spin around the Southern Hemisphere simultaneously in rare meteorological event: One of the cyclones - Alfred - is set to hit Australia in the coming days. The last time the Pacific Ocean had six named storms at once was 1974

My favourite thing about anything that happens to women of colour, is that White Women make it a ‘women’s issue’ only. As though race doesn’t exist. You can’t ’I don’t see race’ your way out of fascism babe

The AJA, the same organisation responsible for distributing the doctored Opera House chant video, has been relentlessly spreading vile, divisive, and racist disinformation every single day—without consequence. Despite their ongoing campaign of deceit and harm, they have yet to be held accountable.
