NSW police letting ppl like Beau Lamarre into their ranks that have a clear history of unhealthy stalking behaviour & are known among their community to be a fucking weirdo & ARMING them with a gun is so rotten. @nswpolice is rotten to the core. We need a royal commission. NOW.

. @sydneymardigras has repeatedly shown that they do not care about the safety of mob and queer people of colour. Will this finally convince them to bar the cops from marching in their corporate feel good parade? #NoCopsAtPride theguardian.com/australia-ne…
ACAB always. Police do not protect anyone, not blakfullas, not queers, no one.

Chris Minns saying the police response last night at Botany was “reasonable” and “responsible” is pretty contradictory to the number of Police who had to hold back other Police because they were attacking people too viciously…
NSW Police serve and protect the interest of the colonial, capital global state from Australia to occupied Falasteen. (Extra)
NSW Police & their draconian anti-protest laws are running rampant. In the face of this, we will never forget that these police are complicit & enabling a genocide regime to unfold. (5/5)
And if my message didn’t stick, it sure proved reality hours later when police attacked, trampled over and dragged peaceful demonstrators, whose only goal is to stop a genocide. (4/5)
My speech called out the colonial interests of Australia. The fundamental systems of oppression and capital interest that continue to oppress Blak people in this nation. I shared my solidarity with Palestinians saying that we too were “far too familiar with state violence) (3/5)
Following our peaceful action to blockade Port Botany, police incited violence upon 200-300 people, many of which were children and elderly folk. It goes to show that police will use violence even in the face of an innocent child. (2/5)
Last night, I gave a speech on Blak and Palestinian solidarity and the need to defeat the ruling class and smash colonial and imperial interests to liberate Indigenous peoples. Hours later, we were met with some of the worst police brutality I have ever experienced. (1/5)
“Solidarity is louder than the lies of colonialism… Israel is losing and they know it” – @efanlyons

People arrested at the Block the Boat Palestine protest at the port last night have been charged under the ALP's harsh new anti-protest laws. Everyone who claims to stand on the side of progess but still supports that bankrupt party needs to take a long, hard look at themselves.

“We show up for Palestinians bc our struggle is one & the same. Yesterday @AlboMP was having a $5k/head dinner in NT as bombs dropped on Gaza. He can say he stands with First Nations people all he wants, but as long as he stands with Israel he does not stand with us.” @efanlyons
