"interaction with police" what are we doing here?

This is actually an antisemitic trope.

This is why I've quit legacy media and I doubt I'll be back. Muslims attacked by cops in the streets for PRAYING is the expected outcome of the racist reporting and discourse around the Gaza genocide. Every Palestinian silenced and every Zionist lie amplified helped pave the path we're on.

“It’s an entire nation.” That’s how collective punishment is rationalised. The ICJ took note. So should Australia. No red carpet. Accountability.

hard to overstate how typical it is to open the newsfeed or switch on the radio or TV/ABC and hear white males who were not there talking to white males who were not there dominating the discourse. This is completely routine in my personal 56 years lifetime experience in Australia.

When a headline says it all:

It's the department’s largest contract to purchase weapons from an Israeli company in available records.

For Australian Governments who have, are in the process of or are planning to take away healthcare options for trans kids, please dont ignore the very real evidence that their lives are on the line goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Video: Jared Kimpton via X (@jared_kimpton)

Watching the footage emerging of the police brutality from Sydney last night is truly sickening. People have a right to peacefully protest. And shame on the media for framing this as 'protesters clashed with police' when from the footage it was clear that 'peaceful protesters were bashed by police'

"[D]o you fundamentally achieve public safety by trying to repress protests, by trying to prevent street processions, by creating a legal regime where there’s no independent arbiter or are in fact those things potentially quite dangerous to community safety?" Good questions. #auslaw #nswpol

I'm sure NSW cops emulating the facial hair of a well known NSN member is just a co incidence? Right? Right guys?

Naarm says arrest Herzog, Sanction Israel now ❤️🙏🏻🇵🇸

Best sign yet at the Melbourne protest against the visit of the war criminal Isaac Herzog, president of Israel:

As always - remember this is what they do when they know they are being filmed.

Chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” in #Melbourne. #Naarm A mass of people here to say Israel is a murderous state. #Auspol #Herzog visit disgraces us all, reminding the world Australia too is a white settler colony built on land theft and massacres.

The levels of depravity are devastating.

Auntie Lizzie Jarrett “did not come here to be polite” she “did not come here to make white supremacists fucking comfortable” she “came here to SPEAK TRUTH… Every day is a day of mourning for First Nations people here”.

"Al‑Jazeera’s correspondents in Khan Younis and Rafah noted that Israeli forces have continued to strike residential areas, agricultural lands, and open spaces despite the declared ceasefire, a pattern documented repeatedly over the past four months."

Puerto Rico lost power after Hurricane Maria and Trump significantly delayed federal aid, leaving millions of Americans without electricity, water, or medical care for months. This is the power of storytelling. Threads

BREAKING: Australia rushed Israel’s Herzog to ICC. Relax, not the Hague but drinks at International Convention Centre. There's no arrest warrant like Netanyahu but Herzog was cited by UN inquiry concluding genocide + current ICJ referral Australia must investigate not sip bubbles with war criminals

It's pretty neat how just *checks notes* 'three months ago' NSW Police gave a Nazi protest demanding 'Abolish the Jewish Lobby' the green light, while a protest against the visit of a foreign President -- guilty, according to a UN Independent Commission, of inciting genocide -- is verboten.

I hope the best of America surrounds Amber Glenn with love.

It's also noticeable that this is happening in Romance, the genre no one seems to respect.

Fascism is fundamentally based on disregard for bodily autonomy and consent, which is why fascism is so hospitable to pedophiles, rapists, and transphobes.

For many of its advocates “remigration” is less a set of policies and more a catch-all term for a vision of Europe rid of what they call “Afro-Arab replacement migration”. The spread of the concept to mainstream politics is shocking econ.st/3ZFZknX Photo: Picture Alliance

Like, a voice to parliament?

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Our opinion page published a guest piece on Lindsey Vonn that was misogynistic trash. I had thoughts.

Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn recently criticised the Trump administration ahead of competing in this year’s Winter Olympics in Milan. “It's been a hard time for the community overall in this administration,” USA Today reported she said on 5 February. 📷 Getty

That sound you hear is every sport scholar rushing to tell you that women didn’t actually compete in Olympic hockey until 1998, not at the second winter games like today’s ceremonies so naively implied.
