Yes #AllMen

Yes #AllMen have a role to play in ending male violence against women

Yes #AllMen can start by calling out sexism & misogyny

Yes #AllMen can start by seeing woman’s right to safety as a human right seperate from their personal relationship to you as a man

This child was taken away from his parents because of POVERTY. They were without a place to stay because they could not afford rent and had to live in a tent. Their children were taken away BECAUSE THEY WERE POOR. Shame on a system that does this. SHAME

but if we resist, they kill us.

Number of Aussie women killed by male violence since 2014

642

So I ask you what’s the biggest threat?

If you’re tired of me tweeting about this imagine being a woman living with actual threat of this everyday

We should have an immigration system that doesn’t require migrants risking their lives to finally get a fair go. That being said it’s deeply unsettling to see this brave hero, Mohammad Taha not get same treatment as the brave bollard man. Only 1 conclusion can be reasonably drawn

A third of the writers listed in the PEN America awards have withdrawn from consideration in protest. They wrote a letter you should all read, listing their issues and demanding the resignation of leadership, as well as more aid for Palestinian writers. lithub.com/the-pen-awards…

No one who wants to see fails to recognise what Israel is up to: Wholesale ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the West Bank and E. Jerusalem - with the FULL complicity of the US, the UK, Germany, France and the rest of the sad EU minions keeping quiet out of fear. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

The West's double standards have made a joke out of the so-called international rules-based order. Embassies are supposed to be sovereign territory. How did the West respond when Ecuador violated Mexico's Embassy in Quito or Israel bombed Iran's Damascus Embassy? With silence!

The West's grotesque hypocrisy over Israel is shamelessly on display.

The whole world can see it.

The consequences? The West's already grievously wounded power draining away 👇

The Palestinian child Zain Orouk survived the bombing of his family’s home in Gaza by Israeli warplanes, but was killed this morning when an airdropped aid box fell on him.

Unlike Iran's attack on Israel, which killed no-one, there won't be wall to wall outrage over the Israeli killing of 11 Palestinian kids, as there's been a lack of outrage over over 14,000 kids being slaughtered.

Why?

Because Palestinian life is considered worthless.

Please read this thread.
I'll be making no further comments on the matter. I have second-hand embarrassment for some of you.

'I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza.' (cit LM👇)

And about the genocide in Gaza. And about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

🙏

Anyone surprised by this hasn't been paying attention to media & political discourse of the last few decades. They orchestrated & fuelled racial demonisation.

'False claims started spreading about the Bondi stabbing attack as soon as it happened' theguardian.com/australia-news…

A white Australian went on a rampage killing women and a muslim man died trying to stop him.

Yet still some right wing commentators are attempting to frame this as an 'islamicist attack'

I just can't.

We are broken, our 'society' is just broken. Racism is a disease.

We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and their loved ones in the wake of the knife attack at the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre.

We unequivocally condemn attempts to stoke fear and hatred against migrants, Jews and Muslims in the aftermath of this horrific…

“We need to radically rethink how we talk about culture, otherwise it’s going to disappear” - Justin O'Connor at last night’s launch of Culture is not an Industry.

The deliberate targeting of children is one of the many atrocities the US is enabling as it funds the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians. Of the over 33,000 Palestinians the Israeli military murdered in Gaza, over 14,000 are children. 🧵
