Happening now! Locals marching down Sydney Rd in peak hour, starting at @PeterKhalilMP’s office in Coburg. Not a peep from Pete, who’s done nothing to stop the g3noc1de

this measure also reinforces the idea that parents don't know how to - or are incapable of - properly looking after their children. we all know that if this was ever passed, it's children & parents who are racialised in colonial ways who would be targeted for criminalisation.

Just watched a 5 minute Bernie Sanders video in which he read off a screen that was visible in the reflection of his glasses, filmed from two camera angles, and where he said you should vote for Kamala because:
- she’d kill less Palestinians than trump
- they’ll sort out aid to Gaza but only after you vote for her

Post-election commentary re the Greens is engaging in some obnoxious over-simplifications. Statewide, the Greens vote was pretty stable. It dropped slightly in areas where the majors spent a lot of money attacking us, and rose in many areas where they didn't bother.

Australia, where peaceful protesters are rounded up by the cops in their homes for protesting against genocide
This quoted post is unavailable.
'I support your cause but not your method' is the same line recycled every time Lidia or any progressive engages in protest that's disruptive. Protest is powerful because it's disruptive. Take away the disruption and you take away the power of protest.
Well done Lidia Thorpe! Solidarity for using your voice and position to take on the colonisers
Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe interrupted a reception for King Charles yelling “you are not my King” and “this is not your country” before being removed by security officers.

“In the midst of a genocide, calls for “social cohesion” are obscene. We don’t need cohesion. We need the killing to stop.”

Another week, another March against genocide. Even after a year, the energy and resolve of the crowd to win peace and justice is inspiring

You cannot bomb, kill or militarily occupy your way to peace and security.
Today more than ever we call for freedom, equality and justice for all between the river and the sea.
Thank you @NareldaJacobs10 for having me on this afternoon
We spoke with @NareldaJacobs10 about today’s commemoration of the Oct 7 Hamas attacks and the start of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
If Oct 7 and the colossal devastation of Palestinian life this yr has taught us anything, it’s that you cannot bomb your way to peace
