We should be deeply sceptical of/concerned by Christian nationalists trying to weaponise claims of antisemitism.

It's a wedge tactic, just like trying to fear monger about Safe Schools, gender neutral facilities and transgender people.

Did Deborah Conway ever think she would side with anti-LGBTQA+ and anti-abortion campaigners?

Probably TBH

'A nation founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic'

This is white supremacist rhetoric which has arisen in the last 50s. The meat and potatoes of colonialism and Christian supremacy in reaction to the growth in atheism from the 1960s.

'Judeo-Christian' was unknown at federation.

Julian Leeser MP spoke plainly about the goals of a “Never Again Is Now” rally on February 18, 2024

'Today is not about the Jewish community.

It isn’t even actually about anti-Semitism.

It is about the sort of Australia we want for our children.'

'Never Again Is Now' is not a Jewish led movement, but a 'Christian movement' that says it advocates for 'social cohesion' despite the long history of those involved in opposing inclusion of LGBTQA+ people.

Freedom for Palestine rallies regularly march to the steps of parliament and have long occupied the steps to maintain awareness of Israel's policies of apartheid, occupation, blockade, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Deborah Conway is teaming up with the anti-LGBTQA+, anti-abortion, anti-voluntary assisted dying Australian Christian Lobby and others for an 'antisemitism' rally in Melbourne on May 19.

The 'prominent CBD location' is apparently the Parliament of Victoria steps.

'These men are all talk. What we need is action—action!'

Remembering abolitionist John Brown, who was born on this day in 1800.

Biden waited until the US had already sent Israel enough weapons to invade Rafah — and until Israel had already begun the invasion — to announce this. That's not a shift

this is the thing reactionaries don't get - students want to hear from educators like Dylan and kendra! 🇵🇸 and I. Students want a radical decolonial perspective, because they're sick of the obviously bullshit lies about the world that chuds like this guy expect them to believe.

We will say this everyday:

1. Dont run yourselves into arrests/ just sit there & “take arrests” - you dont need to get arrested

2. Everyday is shut the fuck up Friday. Don’t talk to the cops EVER

3. Mask up, cover all ID features, don’t talk about or film yourself doing crimes

This is what the kids call “based”

Boycotting Eurovision for very obvious reasons but I saw someone point this out and I think it's cool. The singer for Ireland, Bambie Thug, was banned from including pro-Palestine messages on their costumes. But they did anyways, in THE ANCIENT OGHAM IRISH ALPHABET. 🇮🇪

'Artem Vasilyev was preparing for, or planning to, attack an unmanned electrical substation...in the Adelaide foothills, with the intention of advancing the ideological cause of white nationalism.' He worked for the government as a defence analyst. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Fixed the pulitzer price winner nytimes’ headline for some consistency

A consistent complaint you’d see is that Saban Entertainment & related companies being among the worst to work for on shows like Power Rangers, X-Men ‘92, and Spider-Man ‘94.

But I sometimes forget the company boss is the guy who keeps pressuring politicians to commit war crimes

In case you missed it: Watch Luxon's chief press secretary cringe and look away when his boss rips into a journalist for asking if he agrees with his coalition partner that some food is woke.
