The amount of times Americans have told me to “stay out of the gun control debate” because I’m Australian is incredibly high, and i normally wouldn’t weigh in on this kind of thing on this platform…
But now that this has happened on home soil, and we see creatures like this trying to drive their narrative against it, I can’t help but say this:
Take your gremlin American self, and piss off with this bullshit, flimsy, damaging narrative.
Australia experienced its major, mass shooting event in 1996 and our government responded. Breeding a safer society that experienced a sharp decline in mass shootings, homicides and gun related murders IMMEDIATELY after.
Our country doesn’t need to send kids to school with Kevlar vests. Our police officers don’t need to be trigger happy at the fear that everyone they pull over is a concealed carry. I don’t need to walk the streets worried that someone is going to snap and start lighting the joint up.
Gun control in Australia worked. People have tragically died in this horrific act and that cannot be understated. My heart goes out to those were simply at Bondi, enjoying an iconic piece of Australia.
But more people would have died if they had access to magazine fed, semi automatic weapons, or if MORE guns were simply roaming the street.
So disrespectfully. Fuck off. Australians don’t want American gun policy in our country.
There was a mass shooting in Sydney, Australia.
Within minutes the internet was flooded with “here come the jihadists” and “Islam is our enemy.”
But there’s one problem.
The man who ran up and took the gun away from one of the mass shooters was a Muslim named Ahmad al-Ahmad.
Yes a Muslim man saved more Jewish people from being killed by a deranged shooter.
Oh and the shooter was a former IDF soldier named Naveed Akram.
Pay attention to how the news spins this.
When “vote blue no matter who” doesn’t extend to immensely popular candidates like Zohran Mamdani and Omar Fateh, we MUST question the integrity of Democratic Party leadership.
Our leadership prioritizes fighting within their own ranks, rather than fighting Donald Trump’s authoritarian takeover.
Our leadership prioritizes billionaires over workers.
Our leadership prioritizes Israel’s genocide over our calls for a free Palestine.
Either start fighting for the people or get out of office.

Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet.
They dragged out more than 300 South Korean engineers and specialists. People flown in to help stand the place up so it could eventually employ thousands of Georgians/Americans.
This plant wasn’t scheduled to start running until late 2025 or early 2026. These workers weren’t taking jobs; they were building the factory that would create them.
I cannot believe this story is getting buried data centers are striking private deals with utility companies to offload the costs of their energy usage onto average people
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.
Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.
It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
Throughout this whole mess, no one has failed America like its press.
Had the modern press covered Watergate, Nixon would have gotten away with everything.
Shame on the journalists of America.
You are an absolute disgrace, and you have failed in your sacred duties.
I’m no mathematician, but with over 16 million vacant homes in the U.S. and corporate landlords like Blackstone scooping up entire neighborhoods to jack up rents, maybe the problem isn’t visa holders. 🤷🏽♂️
What Israel is doing to Palestinians:
-Genocide
-Ethnic cleansing
-Occupation
-Annexation
-War crimes
-Starvation
What the media calls it:
-Military operation
-Relocation plan
-Offensive
-Settlement project
-Takeover plan
-Hunger crisis
This is complicity, not journalism.
How odd that MAGA was so anti-mask in 2020 but is so pro-mask now. In 2020, they "couldn't breathe" through them and this year, they are able to wrestle innocent people to the ground, arrest, and deport them all while wearing a mask. Crazy how mask technology has evolved. 🤔🙄
