How disconnected their elected leaders are! I wrote my novel Invisible Chains set in The West Bank during 2023, with help from Israelis, Palestinians and Lebanese. Finished early December I donated all royalties to Unicef earmarked for Gaza.

From Gaza to Myanmar, Tunisia to Russia, journalists are silenced thru imprisonment, torture, murder. It isn’t random violence – it’s calculated strategy. By eliminating witnesses, authoritarian govts commit atrocities with impunity.”

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

Speers is an unsuitable person to be employed by our ABC.
LNP Patsy, David Speers reports "There are always forces that never regard Labor governments as legitimate," the PM observed to Labor Caucus. Yep, lead by Speers himself down at the remnants of the once balanced ABC, now a clearly obvious sub branch of Murdoch's hate empire. Just an LNP cheer squad.
