The racist Islamophobe who attacked a hijabi woman in Kmart last week has been targeting Granville High Boys for 4-5 *years* and last week tried to run over Shaykh Wesam Charkawi outside the school. Why has she been allowed to harass our community for years?!

[Sam Connor @criprights]

Holy shit.

NSW’s mental health system is unraveling, right NOW. Nearly 70% of public psychiatrists have just resigned after being offered a 0% pay rise.

Staff say they’re drowning in unsafe workloads while the government talks about 'efficiency gains. Quiet disaster.

In a year full of disgusting moments- this has got to be one of the worst:

Patricia Karvelas: "There's been a disproportionate number of innocent Palestinians killed. Kids, lots of kids. They're not Hamas right?

Deborah Conway: "Well, it depends on what you call kids."

I have so much to say about this but don’t even know where to start.
Making homelessness illegal does not solve homelessness, neither does brining in cops and council workers to force people to “move on”.

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

So much social cohesion, don’t you love it? Meanwhile for the 250,000+ Arab and 800K+ Muslim Australians, we’re facing a daily onslaught of relatives imperilled or killed overseas and punishment at home if we dare to speak out or show any solidarity with our kin. A racist farce.

[Bede Kelleher @Bedeapk]

Imagine if Albo or Wong or any politician from the ALP or the coalition had the simple decency to state the facts this way.

More than 2 years ago, the Victorian Labor government promised that if they were elected, they’d install air conditioning in every single public housing tower apartment.

Today, it’s 41 degrees and public housing residents remain an afterthought.

Thanks Gabs for not letting this die in the dark like so many of their other broken promises.

[Jenny Difficult-Frecklington-Jones 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷 @JonesHowDareYou]

Well ... we waited and waited but ... nothing, @AlboMP.

Not a word of condemnation. No floral wreath.

Perchance you have an agreement with Zionists that you will not speak up on behalf of Muslims while Israel is genociding Palestinians? #auspol #Islamophobia #Hypocrisy

The first Australian cricketer to ever be picked for the country without playing any first-class cricket says another bloke needs more first-class experience before they get picked for the country. Nice.

[Hash Tayeh @HashTayeh]

It’s time to expose the blatant double standards and discrimination that we are forced to live with.

My heart breaks for the synagogue that was firebombed, and I want to help rebuild it.

At the same time, I am overwhelmed with disgust and anger—where is the same outrage, the same solidarity, when my own young family was nearly killed?

Let’s speak the truth: the police know who firebombed my home, and yet they are choosing to cover it up. This isn’t negligence—it’s complicity.

How much longer will we tolerate this? Justice cannot be selective. Equality cannot be conditional.

Enough is enough.

Protect us, Stand with us & help us receive the justice we deserve.

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

I’m sure @AlboMP will rush to put out several statements about this and announce a taskforce to tackle Islamophobic violence, right?

[Luke Hilakari @lhilakari]

Nurses walking off the job at @StVincentsMelb

So you pay more to got to private hospital where the ratio is 1 nurse to 8 patients.

Public hospitals 1 to 4.

Nurses shouting “1 to 8, just not safe. 1 to 4, just next door.”

The British murdered, raped, pillaged its way around the globe. Forcing its language, culture & religion onto indigenous people wherever they found them. The Americans took the baton & continued the process since 1945. So, how about the West not forcing its culture on the world?

[Purplepingers ☭ @purplepingers]

This could genuinely be a very interesting time for the union movement.
Will the most conservative, Labor-right union in Australia support scabs from potentially their member base? and if so will the ACTU pick a side?
Couple this with the fact that the building industry group of unions have said that if woolies attempts to break the strike they’ll be there “in large numbers”

Big times.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

Is this a joke? I'm Lebanese Christian and Israel is bombing churches in Lebanon.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Israel is carrying out airstrikes across southern Lebanon bc the Lebanese resistance fired two rockets at them in response to over 60 Israeli ceasefire violations in 5 days.

The Israelis are being so outrageous that their American handlers have told them to calm down.

[Kate Emerson 🇵🇸 🔻🍉 @KateEmersonBri]

But that is not the Labor Party we have NOW. Now we have a Labor Party that punishes the unemployed & low-paid workers & stands with Israel against Palestine while supporting miners & big corporations & harming the land.
People living in the past do none of us any favours.

[Katie Halper @kthalps]

I can’t believe I have to explain this but when I call David Duke an antisemite it’s not because I don’t know the difference between antisemitism and antizionism. I’m an anti Zionist Jew. He’s an antisemite who may be anizionist. He’s also a eugenicist and segregationist. I object to his antisemitism not because I’m Jewish. I object to it because it’s antisemitism, the same way I object to his anti black racism, even though I’m… wait for it… not Black. The fact that some idiots out there can’t conceive of opposing racism unless they’re at the receiving end of racism is projection and reveals terrible politics. Besides being politically reactionary they’re actively doing Israel’s bidding by contaminating the anti Zionist space with antisemitism. They are not smart and I’m not blinded by the fact that I’m Jewish. Some of the sharpest people on this issue are Palestinians so if you don’t want to listen to me on this, listen to them.
