Australia proposes tougher gun ownership laws
America? Brown University
America? Brown University
okay looks like I’m giving credit where due today, hopefully not prematurely. Capping gun ownership and abolishing perpetual licenses are much more sensible policy proposals than previous kneejerk nonsense we have gotten from Albanese and Minns.

Shame on Segal. Directly linking peaceful protests against Israel's genocide in Gaza with the atrocity in Bondi. Disgusting.
This woman's Zionist extremism exacerbates division. She is fueling the fire.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

The man in the white shirt stopped one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
He risked his own life to save countless others.
He didn’t need a gun to do it.
He doesn’t appear to have hurt the shooter.
He stopped him so the police could arrest him.
He’s a hero.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.
Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.
At least two suspects are in custody.

Jillian Segal is a danger to social cohesion. Claiming that public support for Palestine directly enabled this terror is beyond vile. People who are against genocide in Palestine are also against the murder of Jewish people and anyone else. Segal is a pernicious vulture.

Very fascist state.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Thankfully, the Polish doctor who was arrested for providing a medically necessary later abortion has had her criminal investigation dropped. Prosecutors deemed that she did not violate Poland’s strict abortion laws. An anti-choice fanatic who attacked her is facing criminal charges for assault.

There are reports that the FDA intends to put a “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines.
This is not in line with the science, which shows that COVID-19 are safe and have saved millions of lives.
This would be a serious abuse of power by FDA officials to further antivax political goals.
