It is now ILLEGAL to take a video of uniformed police in Tucson Arizona.
You can now be arrested for taking a video or charged up to $750.
We are slowly losing our basic rights.

To be perfectly fkn clear - last week some 3000 people gathered to protest based on conspiracy theories over 5G. No arrests.
Tonight the NSW Supreme Court has denied permission for Black Lives Matter protesters to demonstrate in Sydney tomorrow.

Society is comprised of people. Caring for people is about saving society.
The real moral dilemma of our time is allowing the wealthy minority to control the lives of the majority with perverse policies which see the have-nots financially support the haves.

Today is hard. I’m a victim of child sexual abuse, within the Catholic system. My perpetrators, and those that enabled them, haven’t had to face their crimes. I long for them to say sorry, to validate my suffering - recognition. Solidarity to all my peers. Today is hard.

Is there any sense at all to allowing people to flow in and out of a hairdressing salon all day but not in to a nail bar? Why put hairdressers at risk? Who honestly decided that they be deemed an essential service?

A deep awareness of the goodness of human beings, that they are essentially kind, helpful, and gentle, can give us courage and hope. On a personal level too, such a vision of our basic nature can help promote a greater sense of well-being and connectedness with others.

The homeless are the real forgotten people. How do you self isolate if you are homeless?
No govt plan for more public and social housing as demand increases and homelessness surges as economy weakens. Jobs could be created, houses built, and lives saved.

A pandemic is declared, but not for 24,600 dead every day from unnecessary starvation, or 3,000 children dead every day from preventable malaria, or the countless daily dead from America's blockade on Venezuela and Iran and its bombs on Yemen. Before you panic consider them.

Compliant journalists in the UK, US, Australia suppressed the significance of the outrage of the #Assange trial: the obscene bias, the studied cruelty. Is this the press freedom we are fighting for? The Guardian's deceit about its role in unredacted cables shames real journalism.

Worldwide support for Julian #Assange continues to inspire. Catalonia's parliament - which itself has suffered injustice - has declared, "The repression against Julian #Assange is lawfare: the continuation of war by using legal systems". Eloquently put.

Read this report by Craig Murray of day 2 of the #Assange extradition hearing. Craig not only does the job of a silent horde of "journalists", he exposes the shocking antics of a vicious magistrate and her fake court. Speak out now if you give a damn.

At the #Assange extradition hearing, the lawyer for the US claimed, without a shred of evidence or irony, that in exposing America's murderous crimes, WikiLeaks risked lives. He confirmed that merely 'obtaining' a document was now illegal and that journalism was indeed on trial.

Another LNP fuck up. With another stunt cheque plastered with the MP’s name but presumably paid for by the taxpayer. And what happened to the $100k ? Maybe the guy on the right ate it.

And here’s Bert presenting the same club with a $100,000 cheque, just after they endorse him, just before the election, and just before the club folds. $100,000 in public funds to build lights at a club that no longer exists.

If an employee took money from the till for themselves, their bosses would be pretty upset about that.
That’s what the Government has done – using taxpayer money as if it was Liberal National money.
It’s a disgrace. Bridget McKenzie must resign.

This stopped me in my tracks. Clarity rooted in climate change science. Take 2 mins for from spelling it out:
- no ambiguity about global warming
- no ambiguity the last 5 years are warmest on record
- no possibility temps will come down on their own.

Scott Morrison has already called a royal commission into aged care. It delivered an interim report in Oct/Nov and almost ~nothing~ from those recommendations have been listened to or acted upon. They are privatising more! Why would we trust govt with a bushfire RC?
