Sue Barrett - Onward We Press@suebarrett.bsky.social · yesterday

“Don’t let violence win.” That was @cathyindigovalley.bsky.social’s message. Call out bad behaviour. Don’t feed the algorithm. Hold each other to account. And don’t let violence stop good people standing for office. Tonight, 8pm AEDT light a candle for Helen suebarrett.substack.com/p/dont-let-v...

Don’t let violence win: what Indi is teaching the rest of us

BYV: On Wednesday night Cathy McGowan spoke at a vigil in Wodonga for Helen Haines. Her message was not about fear. It was about what each of us can do next.

I think the temperature message was only meant for those who express genuine and reasonable criticism of billionaires, corporations, other govts and our govts' actions and policies, not for the MSM banshees or any of those listed 🙄

This is absolutely horrific! Yet more men's violence against women. In August, an ABC story noted that abuse towards women politicians is increasing in Australia. But it's a worldwide issue - women politicians disproportionately face violence and intimidation. Patriarchal backlash. #auspol

Women question political careers over death, rape and violence threats

A new survey shows half of female politicians are questioning their ongoing careers while three-quarters believe online abuse has increased in the past two years.

A lot of people tonight are talking about respect and disrespect and that violence is borne of contempt for others, and it occurs to me to remind everyone that violence is a symptom, the tip of the iceberg

"The PM is right that we should turn the temperature down, and that starts with parliament. That means not calling for people to be stoned in the square, or making fun of a female politician's health issues." - Andrew Wilkie on the attack on Helen Haines. #auspol

“the chronic phase is only beginning” If you are unsure what covid can do/is doing/will do, here is a great thread As a lay-person, I understood most of it! 😅

📈 The Worst of the Pandemic Is Decades Away SARS-CoV-2 is not just a respiratory virus that occasionally causes Long Covid. It's a systemic, multi-organ pathogen whose damage outlives the acute infection - and because different organs fail on different timetables, the population-wide effects won't plateau all at once. They'll arrive in waves, spread over decades. 🧵

I comprehend the disease is rare…but I ask “Whose children?” Are we not prepared to do better at mitigations and clean air to reduce risk for *all* children? #CleanAirInSchools #CleanAirInHealthcare

Two babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.
