Wrote about Australia's sustained material support of Duterte's bloodthirsty police state in the Philippines, which—by its own estimates—has murdered more than 7,000 people since 2016

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Australia has a long history of meddling in the affairs of its Pacific neighbors. In the Philippines, right-wing strongman Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs” amounts to state terror — which Australia has supported through military aid and legal advice. https://t.co/fEKrV1ahTR

@dannolan Unclear if you genuinely think calling for more public housing / criticising the privatisation of public land and eviction of public housing communities = being “mad at overdevelopment” or just a pathetic attempt to dunk but ok lol

Someone came into the office today to report “a really big tree being chopped down”, couldn’t tell us what kind of tree it was, where it was, how old it was, whether it had cultural heritage significance — only that it’s being chopped down to make way for affordable housing 😩

Thank you to the random at the APHEDA dinner who just congratulated me on my “amazing speech and work for the Myanmar movement”, I will convey that to the /actual/ woman on the telepathic channel all SEA activists share

Fifty years ago today- meanwhile, this Friday Kevin Rudd and the Asia Society are hosting a cosy little "in conversation" event with Marcos' son, who has so far used his position as President to pedal revisionism about his father's bloody regime. How quickly we forget

[Dr. Gia Sison @giasison]

Today as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines may we #NeverForget what happened then and may we #NeverAllow history to repeat itself.

Periodically logging onto this hellsite to see which economist my partner is beefing with today and whether we’re still debating usage of the term Filipinx

Hahah love to sit in a meeting about org-wide cost of living pay increases only to discover I don’t get one because I’m on a parental leave contract! So nice of the cost of living crisis to spare people on fixed term contracts 🥰

Don’t be tricked into thinking your rights were debated for or handed generously to you by oppressors because you were nice to them or voted for them.

Someone fought for them - they’re all written in blood.

My favourite thing about being a POC working in comms is that every now and again I go to some inter-org meeting where I’m the only non white person and have to listen to everyone moan about how hard it is to reach “ATSI” and “diverse people”
