McKenzie says that Nats will “always stand up for the 9 million Australians who live in regional Australia” While I would argue the truth of her statement I’ll let facts do the talking. Under 600k ppl voted for the Nats as a party So 8.4 million regional ppl feel they are not represented by Nats

Those who oppose abortion have every right never to access abortions for themselves. They have precisely no right to tell other women what they may or may not do with their own bodies. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

So bloody sad. So ruined by being sex-trafficked to the super rich and powerful by Epstein and his collaborators, her brokenness and deep pain won out. May she be embraced with eternal love and peace.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew's most prominent rape survivors, dies by suicide. Other victims credit Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out. She also provided critical information that contributed to the investigation into the Epstein network. #OpDeathEaters

Such sad news about Virginia Guiffre. I feel so sorry for her kids and family. She bravely exposed Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network and accused Prince Andrew, leading to a 2022 settlement. Her passing is a profound loss to the survivor community. Vale, Virginia. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad. Which is also why you should share it.

This is how you respond to attacks on lawyers and the legal profession. Thank you, Center for Reproductive Rights & Nancy Northrup. (Abortion rights lawyers have known what it is like to be under attack for awhile, so not surprising they know what to do and say now.)

FYI: @amnestyuk.bsky.social has launched an online course for folks who want to learn more about feminist and queer approaches to gender justice. It explores connections between human rights struggles (abortion, trans care, LGBT education, etc) and provides tools for action. It’s free to access! 🌈🎓
