Another First Nations woman dead in police custody taking the total to 59 Indigenous deaths in the hands of police in just 2 years.
We have shown how quickly we can act against racism towards Jewish Australians.
Why has that same urgency never existed for First Nations ppl?

Here's one - given the likely wave of pandemics caused by RFK Jnr and his henchfolk, when will the govt require vaccination proofs before entry to Australia. America is demanding visa-holders show social media history; our regulations should be smarter.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

Wouldn’t it have been so meaningful to Australians for all sides to come together to do everything they could to prevent another tragedy. It’s obviously not possible to set aside the culture war politics.

Heartbroken for all affected by this terrible act of senseless violence. Australians are united in condemnation of the perpetrators.
We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more.
This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. 1/4

Will we be eradicated by greed. I think we will find out soon.
The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined.
56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people.
Read that back.
