How in the world are folks (including me) going about their everyday as we are inundated with images of a relentless, unrepentant, brazen genocide? Why is the world not grinding to a halt?

Reposting this video cause it was suddenly deleted. Senator Lidia Thorpe shouting at King Charles in Parliament House, “You are not our King! This is not your land!”. She is very much representing the strong feeling of indigenous Australians. #NotMyKing

Fuck anyone who thinks Indigenous people aren’t allowed to scream their truths out loud directly to their oppressors. Fuck your “manners”. Fuck your faux progressivism. You should be amplifying their voices, supporting them, not shushing them like a colonial governess.

Solidarity with Lidia Thorpe today, having the courage to confront the King with the truth & history of Britain’s colonisation & its legacy. She is right - we need a Treaty in this country. This is not the King’s land. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

I’m heartened that the Auslan interpreter continued to sign Lidia’s voice. Thank you. You were the only person in the room not being a bystander.

They say that one voice has the power to transform a room, but it also takes remarkable courage to speak up when that room is filled with powerful people. Today, Lidia Thorpe did just that. 👏🏼 👏🏼 “You are not our King,” she said. And I stand with Lidia on that one. 👆🏼

Once again in the middle of a genocide all you empty, shallow sacks of shit can do is talk about manners and being polite. It’s an incredible display of not understanding what constitutes decency, a vile favouring of order over goodness, subservience over equity and justice. Tfeh

Lidia Thorpe rightly calls out the absurd charade of monarchy. The King? What a joke. Australia’s past & present are rooted in colonial theft, and it’s high time its country's Indigenous peoples are honoured with the Treaty they deserve. Thank you Senator Lidia Thorpe #NotMyKing

“Over the past weeks I have been requesting meetings with him, but was ignored. Today I felt it was right to speak up on behalf and the Blak Sovereign Movement to call out genocide and the invasion and theft of our lands, waters and skies by the Crown.” theguardian.com/australia-news…

In the years I’ve been making Stuff The British Stole, the biggest lesson for me has been how much history hides behind politeness—polite plaques, polite speeches, polite monarchs. I don’t have Lidia Thorpe's life experience, and it’s not appropriate for me to offer commentary
