Do I have this right? There was a conversation bw 2 women, Antoinette Lattouf & ABC's Elizabeth Green - nobody else was present - and now a group of men higher up the ABC cherry tree are telling the women they're both mistaken in what was said, even though nobody else was there but the 2 women?

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Dear progressive Americans, Perhaps I am missing something, perhaps you have plans, if so, forgive this post. If not…what the flying f is wrong with you? Where are you? Handfuls outside major institutions, huffing & puffing in Congress, a few thousand in LA? Get in the streets. Howl! Shriek! FFS!

Opinion | The ABC has indicated it will argue Lattouf has not proved there is such a thing as a “Lebanese, Arab or Middle-Eastern race". The optics are devastating, writes @marquelawyers.bsky.social Read it here: www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/0...

The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.

It is illegal and unconstitutional for ANYONE to be detained without legal process. Even if there's legal cause to deport, you CANNOT just arrest people without a warrant - and detain them without appearing before a judge. This will be challenged - and freedom will prevail.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s where it’s all “never again” and “we need to learn from history” and “just be kind” and “racism is bad” then living another 50 years only to find ourselves back in the 1930s is like living in the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror.

If I could tell my young self one thing I would say the poodle mullet is not for you. But if I could do one more I’d say change & victories are not cemented victories. Never assume you won’t need to fight again … for maternal care, child labour laws, for women’s rights, for everything.

Shikata ga nai is a Japanese cultural concept that implies that a problem exists and to get on with doing what can be done. Believed to have Buddhist origins, it's used in negative situations where there's no other choice but to cope with tragedy. And we are entering into one.

What’s going on in the USA is not normal. We need a collective global effort to defeat fascism & the dark forces of fossil fuel interests, ‘Christian’ nationalists, white supremacists and billionaires on an ego trip. We need to take the gloves off with these people. Our kids lives are at stake.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. Do not — and I repeat — DO NOT — do everything in your power to make sure Vice President Trump sees these memes. EVERYWHERE. Would hate to further strain his relationship with President Musk before they even take office. Especially not during the holidays. 😈😭
