Speaking as a lawyer, a rape conviction is the hardest to get in criminal law. 90% of rapes never reported due to vile attitudes like yours that don’t believe women. Conviction rates 10% as system is stacked against women not men. Just 1/100 rapists held accountable. Shame on u.
All it takes is a woman saying that a man raped her 20 years ago. No evidence. Just her word and the vibes. And just like that, prison. Meanwhile his word? Zero weight. Only what she says matters.
Those cheering Russell Brand’s conviction should understand what’s at stake. The judicial system is a cornerstone of Western civilisation. And now we know with 100 percent certainty that it’s completely corrupt.
Justice was not served, this is the opposite of that.

#BREAKING Albanese Gov has announced people seeking asylum will now have to pay upfront at least $1863 just to lodge an appeal of their refugee claim. The only chance to present their claim to a human being & Gov knows most will be to poor. People will
die because of this.
Denigrating a woman who spends her life fighting for an end to #femicide just shows you’re the one with hate, hate for women. We’re all mad at you, you lack basic morals and decency when it comes to the safety of women. How could you use your status to defend a convicted rapist?
Misogynistic attitudes of men like you is why so few women report their rapes. Rape is not “women changing their mind”, it’s men committing a crime. Slutty is a male invention. You’re more likely as a man to die in a house fire or by lighting than be “falsely accused” You’re a🚩

The Albanese Gov is quietly stripping Medicare from people seeking asylum, including families who have lived, worked and built their lives in Australia for years.
ASRC Deputy CEO @janafavero writes in today’s The Saturday Paper about why this cruel decision must be reversed.
#Trump has lost both control of the House and Senate today! 🥳🥳🥳From Brazil to Serbia to America today we have seen a stunning rebuke of the far - right, of the politics that seek to keep us angry, poor and divided. They know our unity is a threat to their power, they want us
divided while they rob us of our futures. We are rejecting the politics that tell us to hate and fear our neighbours. Rejecting the politics that demonise migrants. It is time for the politics of compassion, welcome and love. Let today give hope to everyone here in Australia

AIPAC spent $30 million against Abdul El-Sayed in the primary. Then they dropped another $9 million to support Mike Rogers.
Here's the good news. In response to AIPAC, ordinary Americans donated $12 million to Abdul.
They have the money. We have the people. Let's win.

Michigan! If you’re in line to vote—stay in line! Your vote is your voice. We need to hear you!
May we see Americans finally come to their senses today in the USA #midterm #elections and stop this monster Donald #Trump. Under him they have veered into fascism and corruption never seen before and are destabilising democracy, human rights and our environment globally. #auspol

I’ve just written to the Federal Minister for Health & Minister for Home Affairs asking them urgently to reverse decision by Albanese Gov that will mean 250 refugees seeking asylum that the ASRC helps will lose their Medicare now. Help by donating donate.asrc.org.au/donatetod…
