He repeatedly smashed my head into a brick wall while screaming, “I’m going to fucking kill you.”
I genuinely believed I was about to die.
I was covered in injuries. Black eyes. Severe head contusions. Bruising all over my body. So concussed I could barely speak.
He had no injuries.
No scratches.
No visible bite marks.
Nothing.
NSW Police never charged him.
Instead, they charged ME for biting his hand while trying to stop him killing me.
I sat in court black and blue while the man who nearly beat me to death sat protected by police officers.
That is how catastrophically domestic violence victims are still being failed in Australia.
This is why we desperately need a Royal Commission into domestic violence, police failures and the criminalisation of women defending themselves.
My story is not rare. That is the most frightening part.

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
Attenborough at 100 — A Sting Cut
We know what humans think of David Attenborough: the greatest broadcaster in TV history. But what do the animals think?
It’s time David Attenborough made a documentary about himself because this eloquent, erudite man is clearly the world’s most unique, rare & cherished creature. Happy 100th to this gentle champion of the natural world. #DavidAttenborough
It's Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday and in 1980 he faced questions from an audience of young viewers about his life and television career. Lesley Judd hosted the show, and Attenborough talked about making a connection with gorillas, and his concerns for the environment.
Un hombre cegado por una bandera que le tapa los ojos. No ve que avanza hacia el vacío.
Banksy ha captado la esencia de la ultraderecha en el mundo. Es un maldito genio.
The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.
The world’s addiction to fossil fuels is one of the greatest threats to global stability & prosperity.
That’s why I am calling for a dedicated global platform to deliver a fair, orderly, affordable transition plan away from fossil fuels aligned with 1.5 degrees objectives.
Let’s make the clean energy transition unstoppable.
I condemn the Israeli Government’s decision to resume land registration procedures in the occupied West Bank. The decision could lead to the dispossession of Palestinians of their property & risks expanding unlawful Israeli control over land in the area.
I call on Israel to reverse these measures & on all to preserve the only path to lasting peace, a negotiated two-State solution in line with international law.
I love it when Republicans own themselves. Trump blamed Dems for the shutdown—yet here he is saying the president owns shutdowns.
Dems play Republican for the bigger grift.
Don't believe me? Believe him.
Last night, CBS refused to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico after pressure from Trump. Colbert addressed the issue with his audience and released the clip online anyway.
RETWEET to thank Colbert for standing up for free speech!
BREAKING: FINALLY! United Nations experts reveal that Epstein's offenses were so evil that they could rise to the level of "crimes against humanity" and call for a full investigation despite Trump dismissing it all as a "hoax."
This is an absolute nightmare for MAGA...
“Any suggestion that it is time to move on from the ‘Epstein files’ is unacceptable. It represents a failure of responsibility towards victims,” said a group of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council. Their statement comes in the wake of the release of millions of Epstein files by the Trump administration — although many of them remain improperly underacted or unreleased entirely.
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” the experts wrote.
Not only that, but the UNHRC panel is demanding an investigation into Epstein and his co-conspirators within the transnational elite. They believe that he was part of a "global criminal enterprise." Even a cursory glance at the files released so far supports that assessment.
Jeffrey Epstein appears to have been running a vast sex trafficking network, providing children to powerful figures to abuse in return for access, money, and power. It also seems highly likely that he filmed much of that abuse to use for blackmail. Whether or not that blackmail material included Trump remains to be seen, but we know that he and the pedophile billionaire were close friends and that Trump is accused of sexual abuse and rape in the files.
"All the allegations contained in the ‘Epstein Files’ are egregious in nature and require independent, thorough, and impartial investigation, as well as inquiries to determine how such crimes could have taken place for so long,” the experts stated.
"The reluctance to fully disclose information or broaden investigations, has left many survivors feeling retraumatized and subjected to what they describe as ‘institutional gaslighting’," they added.
We cannot move on from the Epstein story until full transparency is obtained. Simply put, this is the most important political story in modern history. It has exposed the rot at the very heart of our civilization and revealed the existence of a cabal of wealthy rapists pulling the strings behind major world events. We demand justice.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation!
