A man in France is accused of drugging more than 200 women at a job interview. He gave them a drug to make them need to urinate, and then made sure they didn’t have access to a toilet. Many had to urinate in public or have accidents. This is why we choose the bear.

Just a reminder from 2016: Pauline Hanson is playing the same old stale game with her burqa stunt. This is her cliched grift. Ask if you want to read about this event I happened to attend by chance. I refused to abide by Chatham House rule because fash must not be allowed to hide. ##auspol

“If you were that sick you would be dead.” “If it were that bad you would get help.” “If you can post on social media you’re fine”. Disabled people are constantly subjected to “if” statements from people who have no concept how bad it can get & how little help is available

Meanwhile, in Australia, another NDIS Bill has just been tabled without the most basic protection omitted last year: The ability to challenge debts.

NDIS Bill No.2 ("Integrity and Safeguarding") will be tabled in the Senate tomorrow. What isn't in it will be as telling as what is. How much more power will the NDIA be granted before we get essential powers to hold them accountable to basic tenets like procedural fairness? #Auspol #NDIS

A mother of 8 was sexually abused by an ICE officer. She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day. Her lawyer says she had a stay on her deportation order They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out. Silvia Reyna Mendoza deserves justice. ICE should be abolished.

This is what Stoicism actually is. Anyone saying they are a Stoic and using it as a means to building wealth and as a life hack to achieve personal success have a primitive misunderstanding of the philosophy at a fundamental level. From ‘The Stoic Life’ – Brennan (p. 224). #Stoicism #Philosophy

Another pardoned J6er has been re-arrested. Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, was arrested for molesting a minor. That’s right, there’s yet another pedophile in Trump’s circle. This is also the 11th J6er to be arrested on additional crimes after being pardoned. Maybe no more pardons?
