Australian. Left wing nerd, native plants, landscape design, urbanism, urban fantasy reader, Celtic music, folk festivals, violins, free range children, atheist. No gofundmes, fund political lobbying instead. Free Palestine. Fuck Murdoch.
Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Trump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...
Trump’s Angry Tirade Over Failing Press Ban Reveals His Achilles’ Heel

There's plenty of corruption, crimes against humanity, and downright evil shit to focus on, but every so often it strikes me how thoroughly we USians have been exposed and disgraced on the world stage. A country who can elect such a man—twice!—is not a worthy country. We need radical reformation.

I strongly disagree with the idea that it’s unhelpful to bully celebrities about their position on Palestine. On the contrary, I think we should bully them more. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/its-good-t...

If you really still think it’s about antisemitism—and not about enabling Palestinian genocide—then you’ll have to pretend Kanye pro Hitler West isn’t playing at several of the same venues Macklemore was just cancelled from for saying Free Palestine.😐
Ed Sheeran isn’t neutral—receipts confirm he’s complicit. This isn't about antisemitism—but about enabling Palestinian genocide. Even now, Kanye ‘pro Hitler’ West is playing at the same venues Macklemore was just cancelled from for saying Free Palestine.😐 www.qasimrashid.com/p/ed-sheeran...

Yeah, so the 2010s were a long referendum on whether we should 1) be reasonable and decent people, and invest in infrastructure and services, or whether we were going to 2) be abysmal horrible bastards and let the island slide into the sea. I’m afraid politicians and press unified on 2).
