A gentle reminder that the genocide and illegal activity by Israel in Palestine continues barely untroubled by a "ceasefire" www.bbc.com/news/article...

Francesca Albanese— "It is becoming more and more intense—personal threats, physical threats, the sanctions—it has not silenced me because you cannot silence the truth in the face of a genocide. "It's just a matter of time before this injustice ends, sooner or later, it will not last forever."

BJ's a #mentalhealth risk - who needs to be supported by his family at this time. His hysterical outbursts, inability to assertively share ideas and speak clearly at community-led events, points to someone who is unwell, stressed & out of his depth in his elected role. He needs a rest break. #auspol

"In an instant, al-Ahmed disproved the very case the gunmen were doubtless trying to make: that Muslims are somehow commanded to see Jews as the enemy, a foe to be destroyed. In an act of mind-boggling courage, he showed that the human urge to save the life of a fellow human being is more powerful."

The most corrupt president in modern U.S. history should be behind bars. 🚨 Newly obtained recording from late 2020: Trump is heard pressuring the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to convene a special legislative session to overturn his election loss.

Will the Australian mainstream news media (I'm thinking esp. Ch7 and Ch9) do a report on how Pauline Hanson and James Ashby took advice from the NRA on how to water-down Australia's gun laws in exchange for donations from the gun industry? 🤔 #auspol #BondiBeach #GunLaws

Intellect is not a key feature of the Trump administration; unless you’re talking about the near total lack of it.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking. Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals… All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it. We CAN change things.

"An urbanist out there often uses the phrase, ‘well it's better than nothing’ [for painted bike-lanes] and I say ‘no, it can often be worse than nothing’ because it fails. And then everyone says ‘see, I told you bike-lanes don't work in our city’ & then you don't get a chance to do it right again."

What a shocker. Agriculture minister who’s also a livestock farmer thinks livestock farmers should be free to continue to pour shit into our waterways with impunity, all the while pocketing taxpayer subsidies. This is his “ambition”. What a country we live in. www.irishexaminer.com/farming/arid...

Former CEO speaks out: keep VicHealth strong and independent www.croakey.org/former-ceo-s...

VicHealth has been a pretty importsnt part of my professional life. I’ve been incredibly grateful for everything I’ve been able to do with them. Disestablishing VicHealth would be a huge misteke for health in this state. savevichealth.org

Our call is to keep VicHealth independent and well-funded, for the health of our whole community. Read FARE's media release: fare.org.au/vichealth-in...

VicHealth has consistently stood against the harms caused by alcohol and been a vocal champion for the health of our communities. Now more than ever we need strong health advocates who will support the research that matters, and amplify sound health information.

Its independence is critical to its impact – existing beyond four-year political terms, it has the ability to build enduring community partnerships, inform long-term strategy, and deliver programs that help more Victorians lead longer, healthier lives.

FARE stands with the organisations, community and health leaders calling for VicHealth to retain its independent role. A world-leading health promotion agency, it has been at the forefront of campaigns and programs that have improved the health of people across the state and saved countless lives.

- Guarantee long‑term, stable investment in prevention and health promotion to reduce preventable illness and ease pressure on our health system. www.change.org/p/keep-viche... 4/4

Please sign the petition calling on the Premier to: - Abandon plans to absorb VicHealth into the Department of Health. - Keep VicHealth as a stand‑alone, independent, fully funded health promotion agency to provide advice, support community-based work, and lead policy development and research. 3/4
