The moment Peters and his ilk start addressing our rates of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, pay equity, safeguarding access to abortion…is the moment I say Well done, now you’re addressing women’s rights. Cis men are the biggest predators of cis women. The end.

Last night, a tent where Gazan journalists were staying was bombed. A journalist caught fire and burned alive in front of dozens of people who couldn’t save him. His horrific death is one of more than 50,000 since the war began, and over 1,000 since the ceasefire collapsed 20 days ago. (1/2)

The Israeli government has abandoned all pretenses for its goal of ethnically cleansing of all Palestinians from their land, accelerating its genocide in Gaza and engineering the largest land theft in the occupied West Bank in over thirty years.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

"Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. The Palestinians will be forced to choose between death or deportation. There are no other options." And still our political and media class stays silent, does nothing. They are complicit. #StopIsrael #auspol johnmenadue.com/the-last-cha...

“NZ had one of the lowest health losses from Covid-19 and fared comparatively well economically and socially, at least in the short term. But the response could have been better still, thereby preventing or lessening some of the long tail of consequences which this country is still reckoning with.”

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
