How the fuck do we live in a place where 60+ women are killed every year including 4 in just the past few days yet there’s no National Day of Mourning or prominent lapel pins or sobbing politician speeches or Special Envoy or Royal Commission or endless media commentary for THEM?

In 2019 an Australian far-right extremist went to Christchurch and shot dead 51 Muslims as they prayed. New Zealand did not respond by banning radical Australian immigration.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

To those who are pro Hamas, please know this;
I spent a week in Gaza in 2009. There are no kinder, more welcoming people anywhere. In 2007 Hamas was elected into power- Hamas has not permitted any election since. They dominate, brutalize & terrify the people. Hamas does not represent Gazas ppl.

I hope AUS PM Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns realise that MANY Australians DO NOT want "social cohesion" with neo-nazis and Zionist bigots. That sort of "social cohesion" sounds a lot like condoning anti-Palestinian racism and complicity in genocide. #auspol #nswpol #FreePalestine

Murrow warned us about this a long time ago, that TV would trade truth for spectacle, analysis for noise, and civic duty for profit. Putting unvetted, attention seeking talkers on air proves his point. TV chose ratings over responsible reporting. It’s the business model.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

How come reply guys, when called out, always resort to "couldn't resist a joke" or "just a joke"? There's no humor, nothing funny, just being a pest.
I wrote a story about guys being pests, and it starts with "just a joke." It doesn't end with a laugh though. Their interactions never do.
