🌱Jane Wrong Anti-fascist 🌱💧🐀 gragra T158 Prof Jenny Hocking Lucy Hamilton 😵‍💫 Gough took on big coal, gas & oil multinationals, & protected the Great Barrier Reef in the national interest. Who were his foes working for? He wanted a nuclear-free Pacific & an independent foreign policy. Who shows the courage to defend Whitlam's principled positions now?

I didn’t think I’d ever witness such unvarnished hatred, such menace, such fascism. This is utterly disgraceful.

I'm not sure people are grasping the full implication of what he's saying here: that to avoid family separation in mass deportation, Trump would also remove millions of US citizen children-a prospect that takes his deportation plan much deeper into the realm of ethnic cleansing

Israel is wiping out entire residential buildings in the ancient city of Tyre, South Lebanon—a city that has stood for over 4,000 years. This is a crime against humanity. This is terrorism.

Here’s a link to full letter from WaPo’s David Hoffman stepping down from editorial board - letter is to editorial page editor David Shipley.

Remember - free market, small government rhetoric is a con. It’s the disguise beneath which they orchestrate government policy and (taxpayer 💴) spending to their benefit. The type use it to prop themselves up & crush/absorb rivals to push up profits (prices).

The free market, small government propagandists love this. It makes it easy to have exploitative/risky working conditions, threat to air water. Cuts to tax = cuts to education, health, roads, bridges. They don’t care what happens to you. Politicians will get party 💴 or jobs.

This is to make the planet uninhabitable for your children. The Christian Right don’t care because End Times. The Ultra Rich don’t care because it will hit them least hard. Their enablers don’t care because they’re hoping to slide in with the Ultra Rich.

Trump campaign staffers had asked all MSG speakers to submit drafts of their speeches ahead of time, before they were loaded into the teleprompter. Campaign staff asked Hinchcliffe to strike a joke calling Harris a “c*nt." They were fine with the rest. thebulwark.com/p/trumps-shock…

She also said Jeffrey Epstein was at the pageant. She said Epstein was ‘insistent’ to her and other women, offering to pay their expenses to attend parties at Mar-a-Lago he said he was organizing ‘with Don’.

A woman came forward last week with similar allegations about a separate 1993 incident. She claimed that Trump leaped on her when they first met and sexually assaulted her, and that he and Epstein were close friends.

“Empathy is the glue that makes us stand united in humanity. If you don’t act for the Palestinians you will become irrelevant to the world. The only way to comply with international law is imposing sanctions against Israel. May this be the last genocide in human history.”

🧵Evangelical Explainer: Why Geelong Revival Centre is NOT extraordinary but IS problematic as Hell & a cult I read this brilliant piece by journo legend Richard Baker today, covering the Geelong Revival Crusade. To him & many readers, shocking. To evangelicals, passe

But let me tell you the Venn Diagram between cults and domestic violence is a circle. Both use every section of the Duluth Wheel to subjugate their members. But with cults like the GRC, its the pastor who runs the whole racket. It is then the members who enforce it.

We must understand the threat posed by Evangelical/Pentecostal Christians alongside Rad Trad Catholics to our ideas of equality and inclusion. They are committed to ensuring that we don’t have equal rights. Read Talia Lavin Lavin’s Wild Faith - an excellent, readable account.

We must also tighten regulations that prevent religious and other motivated radical factions from branch-stacking and taking over party structures. There must be better enforcement measures and efforts to ensure transparency of allegiances esp at LGA level.

Tech bros are not…the best people to have immense power over the shaping of our countries and world. “Humans genocide”?
