Following up on my post in appreciation of Senator Thorpe of Australian Senate, it is worth remembering another woman was told also to know her “place” and she took in stride and yet still refusing to know “her place”, Leanne Wood member of Wales’ Senedd. #powertothepeople

Malka Older of Global Voices: In these fraught times, the press must continue, and intensify, its role of bearing witness Great piece and a link to @kitetalesmm.bsky.social as an example of inspiring journalism www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
