Grumpy shit, living on stolen land in Australia. Dogs and bats. LGB people don’t stand with trans people then we all fall. Covid kills, long COVID is not great either.

Netanyahu, Sussan Ley, & others choosing to attempt to score political advantage from the horrific events at Bondi, do a great disservice to all striving for greater peace & understanding in society.
The media would do us all a great favour by platforming the helpful & heroic, incl. Ahmed el-Ahmed.

Getting a blood donation slot may be challenging but will be an ongoing need in the coming days and weeks
Anywhere in Australia you can donate and it will help as stocks are moved around the country to replenish what has been used
Christmas time is always hard for the blood bank

Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.
Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge
There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real

Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work.
There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996.
We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

There’s a lesson for us all in this, if we chose to hear it
There’s been a mass shooting at Bondi Beach.
It was the first in Australia in 29 years.
There’s been a mass shooting at Brown University.
It was the first in the United States in far fewer than 29 days.
Our policies are deadly every week and our mentality is a deadly export.
