RANDOM THOUGHT DROP: Sat outside this evening listening to the cicadas communicating in unison while thriving in the gardens of a man made world…made me ponder whether evolution has be a good thing or a bad, given that we still elect the HUNTERS to sustain us, rather than the gatherers. 💭 #politics

I do not care if the pantomime roles that the ALP & the LNP play are differently choreographed by the media, what they think is the same, what they do is the same, for the same fascist reasons

With all the footage of NSW police officers bashing, assaulting and battering peaceful protesters, Sydneysiders have just cause in fearing the sight of any police officer within cooee of the CBD today! How’s that for
social cohesion?

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.

The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.

If we are going to ban symbols and phrases because of 'social cohesion' then we really should start banning some moustaches too.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Last night the NSW Police disgraced themselves. The NSW government is fully responsible for what happened.

I disagree. Neither the #FossilFuelLabor nor the #COALition wanted an effective #NACC. They were forced into it by #Independents and the #Greens. How to #Nacker the #NACC? Put a #Corrupted #Incompetent in charge of it. It was done #OnPurpose
