@drobwlldiad @Jooles_Masters That’s really difficult … when there’s dementia involved. I feel for you.

[Jo Matthews @baronessjm]

@drobwlldiad Ok… that makes sense, but I hope they’re acknowledging his illness in their dealings with him. Where are you moving to?!

[Jo Matthews @baronessjm]

@Jooles_Masters @drobwlldiad I know that… but to continue taking money whilst also advising tenants (the source of that income) to move out is unconscionable. One would hope appropriate notice has been given to the landlord… also acknowledging his illness, as described (warranting some compassion).

How the fuck do we live in a world where Israel simply claims they dropped dozens of bombs in civilian areas in Lebanon overnight “to kill one Hezbollah leader” and the media merely parrot their obvious lies as if murdering dozens of children to neutralise one person was now something reasonable, justifiable and unremarkable instead of an outrageous and unforgivable fucking war crime?

BREAKING: New polling shows Vice President Kamala Harris demolishing Donald Trump among suburban women by 12 points. Let’s go.

[Louise Milligan @Milliganreports]

Thinking of a woman, her four surviving children, and the three littlest ones who didn’t survive. Ten months, two and four. Where are the words? They all seem hopelessly inadequate. Those poor babies.

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

How in the shitkicking fuck do we live on a planet where the world’s media are incessantly focussed on how old Joe Biden is instead of how fucking young Donald Trump’s teenage rape victims are?

@tassiepatrat @TasmanianLabor Well said.

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

Australia’s mainstream journos/owners detest Julian Assange because he operates outside the “rules” they force on us all which always prioritise and protect their neo-liberal/patriarchal/corporate/religious/monarchical/military agendas rather than the truth.

This is why this execrable rag highlights “convicted felon” in the headline: it’s a warning to every other whistleblower and activist who doesn’t bow low to them.

Fuck them all.

@drobwlldiad You should be in Cygnet?!

@drobwlldiad Did it come back on? I can see you huddled around the lantern in the dark - ‘Double, double toil and trouble: Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.’

Exclusive: After a decade of falling funding, Tuesday’s budget will include a substantial support package for performing arts schools, several of which are on the brink of collapse. @KJBar reports. #auspol https://t.co/fsBBnRQDCm

@tassiepatrat @Bartlett_DJ Me too?!!!

[CroneWitch @YESfortheVOICE]

Justice Lee has done more than confirming that #Lehrmann raped BH. His trauma-informed judgment will provide a framework on which subsequent prosecutors can draw: explicitly describing the passivity of non-consent; debunking "normal" victim behavior, memory & coping behaviours

[Rachel Withers @rachelrwithers]

Your regular reminder that Bruce #Lehrmann brought this case himself.

@Psy_Fer_ @MFWitches Costs will be NASTY.

[Jo Matthews @baronessjm]

@mummyhearts @MFWitches Judge has found in favour of the respondents (Ten & Lisa Wilkinson) asked for submissions as to costs to be filed by 22/4. There will now be a hearing as to why Bruce Lerhmann (Kerry Stokes / 7 ?) should not pay the legal costs.
