In context of the +60 000 year old living library of documented human history of Gondwanaland that is Murujuga, newly discovered artifacts 9 000 years old are from barely a blink in time ago for the Ngarda-Ngarli people. 🖤💛❤️ #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe abc.net.au/news/2026-10-14/n…

California is ready to fight.   I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration. Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked. nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/ne…

Really is a tough call. On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman Quite the dilemma

On Wednesday, my colleague Steven Prawer’s office was occupied by protesters who intimidated and jeered at him, after weeks of stalking and harassment. I do not care what anyone’s cause is or who they are. This is unacceptable. My op ed in The Age. theage.com.au/national/victo…

One year ago, Hamas launched a horrific attack against Israel, killing over 1,400 Israeli citizens – including defenseless women, children, and the elderly – and kidnapping hundreds more. Today, the prospects of peace seem more distant than ever. But we continue to hope for a return of all the hostages, an end to the violence, a rejection of hate, and a future in which both Israelis and Palestinians can enjoy the security and stability that most of them yearn for.
