"Resistance to colonisation has rarely been polite. The senator asked questions Aboriginal people are still waiting – after two centuries – to get the answers to." - Celeste Liddle ✊🏾

This is a reminder that so long as occupation exists, it does not matter who the Prime Minister of Israel is. We all know that reformed colonial empires don’t change what they are. As long as Zionism is at the core, Palestinians will continue to face this oppression. Listen to us
Archer Magazine has "parted ways" with editor Roz Bellamy
As a reminder, Roz was a contributing member to the group chat targeting Palestinian & Arab writers & their allies in so-called Australia in an effort to silence their anti-genocide activism

“This report confirms a devastating truth: that isolating children in detention compounds their mental and emotional distress, and is driving some children to suicide.”
RIP 💔
The Australian government just restored funding to UNRWA. Yesterday it cancelled humanitarian visas to Palestinians while they were on a plane here. The flippant yo yo-ing when it comes to Palestinian lives is cruel and astounding.
Trans kids deserve to be safe, to grow up, to live in their gender, to be respected, to be loved, and to be treated as full human beings. Family, schools, friends, community, please be a safe place for kids to land.
Bro pls see this is decolonisation. It does not involve any return of stolen land ... but we're using native and indigenous names for this project. Please believe me bro, i promise to return your land back later pls bro

I’ve never thought Israel was weaker, militarily & as a society, that it’s now. Israel knows that we know, & that’s why it inflicts all sorts of horrors on Gaza: to try to restore its facade of strength, shake our people’s resolve, & mask its weakness.
Thousands joined the Free Palestine march in Melbourne's CBD today in 38 degree heat to protest the Zionist regime's crimes in Gaza.
The genocide must end.
The Palestine solidarity movement is mobilising in a historic way. Be proud of how far we have come, liberation is near.
