@fourlarks3d @JJKALE2 Amy Reikis especially!

@clare_mcivor 😂 Like organising a room full of bullies

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@deniseshrivell Agreed!

If not now, then when?
If not us, then who?

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@clare_mcivor Community? So pfffft!

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

I hear you dude. Things have been getting crazy. The new robber barons. Same stuff about 140 years ago.

All that is messed up now has been so, albeit in the background, for a few decades. It's only just becoming obvious now. Shit only ever gets fixed when folk notice it's totally broken.

Gosh I love the haka.
And I love this show of defiance

@AlboMP @CommunityNotes

This is a false claim. There is no body of evidence to back up what our Prime Minister is claiming here.

Can we get a correction please?

@ChrisMurphyCT @threadreaderapp unroll please

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@PatRyanUC @threadreaderapp unroll . Well said. Well done.

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@Qldaah A message applicable to both. Differences are inevitable and potentially positive should conversation and sensible debate replace wedging and gotcha politics.

@clare_mcivor There are so many more things that could and should be done well before this useless ban including teaching critical media literacy in schools which will now be impossible

@PoliPessimist @PataudSandra @MikeCarlton01 That is so awful. Be it voice, conformity to ideas of beauty, hair, clothes... So wrong.

Also so wrong... progressive candidates not being brave enough to have policies for fear of being shredded by partisan media.

Campaign went small on policy. There was nothing to hear.

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@holland_tom Thanks Tom. Also, perspective... Can we consider politics to be merely moments that aspire to be history?

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@EdKrassen Seriously, too soon!

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@JoJoFromJerz Hey legend, well played. When the other team wins it's time to huddle, watch film, get smarter, play better. Win next time.

Otherwise yelling into a void. Complain about rules, refs, league, crowd... yelling into a void.

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

Progressives and moderates need to stop pretending they are jostling for the moral high ground. Start talking as colleagues. Shit is getting real!

[Clare Heath-McIvor @clare_mcivor]

The other vital thing to be said is this: Project 25 is already a reality in high control conservative religious settings. Women are already living under this. Lgbt people are already living under this.

Even in Australia. Progressives and moderates need to lift their game now

Also 100-ish days as nominee. Not nominated through normal primary processes (yes, really abnormal processes for the rest of us), and so on ad museum. The point being, from a democracy point of view, it was so close!

He's a bloated show biz clown throwing candy to all catchers. Kamala is a representative of a world that I believe exists. Smart, smooth, pragmatic. Playing the game of the art of the possible. Smart.

Once upon a time the promise of candy was held by progressive politicians, the unions and the civil rights marchers. Trump has somehow grabbed that space.

It's a rental space. I agree with you. Misogyny is a part of their dumbfuckery.

[Stephen Powell @stephencurly]

@PataudSandra @MikeCarlton01 She is so not a socialist. Her normie capitalistic democratic credentials are impeccable.
