I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.
Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy:

"By increasing the price of Revlimid, Celgene executives in several instances boosted their pay. That’s because bonuses were tied to meeting revenue and earnings targets." @DavidArmstrongX@ProPublica

Too often Sydney’s story is assumed to be Australia’s. In reality the Tasmanian story is very different (and no less dramatic and inspiring). There is no better contemporary example of this than LGBTIQA history. This letter is in today’s NW Tasmanian Advocate.
The media narrative on Amsterdam is false.
It’s disinformation. It is lies by omission.
Imagine Arab football fans had chanted songs glorifying the murder of Israeli children while burning Israeli flags, let alone attacked local citizens.
Imagine how that would be portrayed.
“It is concerning that genocidal Zionists can’t travel the world chanting about extermination of Palestinian children with impunity. Rest assured we will continue all trade and diplomatic relations with the Zionist state so as they may exterminate as many children as they want”
I hosted a PBS show called Science Goes To The Movies for five seasons and was a Teaching Fellow for a quantum physics class in college...and I am here to say that parents and educators obsessed with prioritizing STEM over humanities can suck it, “suck it” being a term of art.
That was fast which is good. They will test the waters more and more here in Australia with the regressive agenda that we've seen elsewhere. Immediate and loud repudiation is going to be so important.

All Australians need to stay awake bc this is us next. The liberal party are becoming increasingly right wing, and we will have an election next year. No time for funny business.
Hundreds of our national security experts warned us.
40 of his 44 cabinet members said never again.
His chief of staff.
The joint chief of staff – both four star generals.
His vice president.
Hundreds of Republicans
He threatened to use the military against those who disagree or criticize him.
Women are dying from routine pregnancy complications.
And you voted for him anyway.
Good luck.

Genocide is a complex and insidious crime; proving destructive intent is an onerous task - yet not when it is so ostentatious, sustained by a political doctrine of ideological hatred and articulated through institutional structures and policies.
Bridget McKenzie has spent the last 4 days attacking Anthony Albanese incessantly and rabidly online regarding flight upgrades .
If I were you, Madam Sports Rorts.. I’d be sitting this one out.
Or folks might start to share posts en masse with regard to your $20,000 taxpayer-funded flight on an RAAF plane from Rockhampton to Melbourne to watch a fkn ice hockey game..
.. and that was just after a $14,000 taxpayer-funded flight to see Prince Charles.
Hypocrisy and Shytfokery-R-Us, McKenzie.
The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.
This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees.
These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in #Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell.
It will deprive over 650,000 girls & boys there from education, putting at risk an entire generation of children.
These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians & are nothing less than collective punishment.
Putting an end to UNRWA & its services will not strip the Palestinians from their refugee status. That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians.
Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2.
This should be a concern to all.
