Oz here. As he points out, Sunday’s rallies were significant, they show the scale of far-right organisation in this country, and they may well mark a new and emboldened phase of activity from rightist groups

It would be a massive mistake for progressive folk to convince themselves the March for Australia was a bust, or can safely be ridiculed.
It was an alarming escalation of far-right action, and we need to reckon with it.

🔥 The COVID COVER UP folks are BACK!
And if you thought their first two videos were good, just wait ‘til you see Part Three.
Governments know Covid is causing mass disability, costing lives & billions of dollars…
…and they know how to prevent it.

The inauguration was a carefully constructed fascist pageant meant to seize control of power and reality, foster an authoritarian environment on behalf of the oligarchs, and pummel us into early submission.

It looks like “freedom” means some people get to despotically oppress other people.
Book bans. Mask bans. Medical care bans. People of certain ethnic origin bans, international product tariffs (on Americans) (a type of ban), disabled and elderly in society “ban” (on pain of covid death/disability)

“People who had gotten COVID-19 at least twice experienced higher rates of short and long-term health effects, including heart & brain issues, compared to those only infected once.”
Rather than “building immunity”, repeat Covid infections are slowly killing us.

You do not want to let this virus enter your body - it may never leave
Analysis of tissues from 15 autopsies shows that COVID has the capability to replicate and evolve in different body sites, which aligns with the “viral reservoir” theory.
