I have early onset psyoratic arthritis- I'm 49. Been giving Centrelink certificates for over 18 months, 10 waiting for a rhumatology appointment. I just got suspended because my 8th certificate was 2 days late. It's fucking absurd.

Australia to hand Timor billions in gas revenue to counter Beijing

In some ways Labor are worse than the Coalition on climate change. They aren’t ignorant buffoons like their opponents: they know the damage they’re doing, and they do it anyway. And then they lie shamelessly about how they are addressing climate change, and ppl lap it up. The hypocrisy is sickening.

Something we really need to consider is that Hanania didn't have any sort of redemption arc - what happened is that a bunch of liberals stewed their brain for two years in Musk's right-wing radicalisation algorithm and *they* shifted towards Hanania's sweaty, oily misogyny and racism

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.
