When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.
Well, that's changed.
When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.
We must fight back.
Thank you, President Biden. You were absolutely right when you stated last night that:
"An oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights & freedoms."
This is the defining issue of our time.
Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.
One woman has died every four days in Australia this year.
Here are some of the excellent signs from today as thousands of Aussies took to the streets to say #EnoughIsEnough#NoMore
Bruce Lehrmann supporter with an enormous tattoo of the rapist's face on his shoulder has been identified as an ex-police officer https://t.co/bRadZmfRWk
Peter Dutton on the French (white) 'bollard man' being offered citizenship: 'They're the sorts of Australians that we want.'

The deadshits on here trying to imply the Bondi Junction murderer was a Muslim is Australia's terrified racism at its worst. It's fucking pathetic. Why's it so hard to believe an Australian male would murder a bunch of women? It's happened 27 times this year already.
Lessons to learn from Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation case
A reminder of Immanuel Kant’s powerful observation.
“Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived,’’ he wrote.
“Truth is the child of time; erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee https://t.co/igYT0jCPyM
Essential reading 🇵🇸 the International Court of Justice ruling on South Africa’s Genocide case against the State of Israel. It records the horrors faced by the people of Gaza, the obscene comments by senior leaders in Israel and demands accountability.

“Mass death has long been normalized on Europe’s borders,” writes @sallyhayd. “This is what a crisis of human rights, ethics and, above all, global inequality looks like.” https://t.co/UewRX2RePn
‘As Australians embrace @TheMatildas ..it could be that they’re supporting something even more significant..’
The right to be seen, heard, represented, believed, protected, supported, invested in, elevated.
Equality.
