So @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social wants us to consider the full context before judging videos of police brutality online. Ok, let’s zoom out

*Call for Grace Tame to be awarded more, and higher, Australian honours.*

Grace is a true humanitarian. She is fighting to protect one of the most vulnerable at risk communities on the planet.

Right wing forces hate her because she is right and good.

“Grace Tame criticised by federal and state MPs for leading chants of "globalise the intifada" at a rally against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
The NSW government has been considering outlawing the contentious phrase under revised hate speech laws.

Call for Grace Tame to be stripped of AOTY title over intifada chant
Grace Tame accused Australia of being "a so called democracy" that punishes peaceful protesters, before chanting "from Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada!"

The Migration Act 1958, Section 501 requires people to pass a character test to enter the country. The govt used that to block Snoop Dogg from coming in but are fine with genocidal maniacs.
The head of the State of Israel is making a very public visit to Australia.

Visa considerations include if someone is implicated in war crimes and genocide.

The Government refuses to even acknowledge if they gave President Herzog a visa

In anticipation of Key Fairy's release (on the 19th of February) I have caught a cold.

To support me in this difficult time, consider wishlisting Key Fairy on Steam, and telling all your weird little friends to do the same.

Every wishlist is one step closer to health, or something, I don't know

‘A Premier who dines with a leader accused of genocide, who has signed the bombs dropped on civilians, while his police break the arm of an 84-y-o woman, assault a woman with Parkinson’s, spray a seizing child in the face, and brutalise people at prayer has forfeited all moral authority to govern.’
"This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it ... I was there".

Andrew Brown with the extraordinary story of NSW Police brutality at the Herzog protest.

While the premier - to great applause - said "Thank you friends" to the Israel Lobby.

The footage of Australian police acting like ICE agents is pretty shocking, but the media broadly stepping up to downplay, deny and mis-describe their violence in ambiguous terms is completely unsurprising.

It's an industry fundamentally incapable of ever assigning any blame to the police: ever
A protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit is under way at Sydney’s Town Hall. Police have capsicum-sprayed dozens of protesters and members of the media as clashes turn increasingly violent. Live updates: shorturl.at/Wq8BD

Australia, being brainwashed by cops & a spineless Federal Government.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour by NSW police.
Extraordinary footage. Police pulling off people engaged in peaceful prayer.

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent.

Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees.

Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

The brutality of these pigs in sydney as they bashed, pepper sprayed and assaulted people simply voicing their opposition to genocide is truly disgusting.
February 9, 2026 at 12:12 PM
The same sadists who so gleefully signed up for ICE in the states exist in our society too, and given a chance to let rip they would abuse their power all the same. Its the feverish symptom of a white supremacist institution granted power over communities.

Hey so I haven't made any money last month cuz I gave away what little I earned from that AusRPG bundle.

I don't make a lot at the best of times, but it would be really awesome if you went and bought some of my games at the moment.

I have a new poetry compilation zine out as well, buy that.

Your government is grotesquely complicit, Australia. But you don't need to be. In times of atrocity, you have a moral obligation to dissent and resist. I learnt this through Holocaust education (somewhat ironic, nowadays). This is where protests start. Free Palestine, free us all

Imagine being so completely uncritical of the conflation of Zionism and Judaism and still calling yourself a journalist
'Under the new legislation, public use of the controversial phrases "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea" to cause menace, harassment or offence will be banned, with a maximum penalty of two years in prison.'
