The humanitarian crisis has bore down severly on the Farwana family and they have lost everything except each other. Please join me in defending Noreen's family from the brutality of winter, hunger and illness. Noreen Suffers from a cartilege issue that decreases her mobility and she is unable to work. Noreen also needs a corneal transplant, and this increases the burden on her life. She needs glassesand continuous medical evaluation and treatment because her eyesight is deteriorating with time. I will speak on behalf of Noreen:

The Australian and NZ govts need to grow a spine and make it abundantly clear that a US attack on Greenland would result in the end of all military and intelligence co-operation. No more AUKUS. No more Pine Gap. Cancellation of orders for military hardware from US suppliers. #auspol #nzpol

The perpetrators of the atrocities at Port Arthur and Christchurch and one of the two perpetrators of the Bondi massacre were Australian citizens. It is clear that Australian citizenship does not somehow magically make someone a fit and proper person to hold a gun licence.

i'm quite content on my own but sometimes i think polygamy might be ok?
like when your out walking and see a rock formation you could ask wife 1 what is that rock. and at night when the stars are out wife 2 could tell you the names. maybe also a tall wife, to reach those things up a little too high

the jewish musicians incarcerated in Terezin staged a requiem mass for their catholic nazi captors. the german camp guards thought it amusing- jews performing music from a catholic religion.
their response when mocked: we are doing this because one day you will also have to answer to your god

“ICE’s godless tactics are a total affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It stands in the face of the faith of our ancestors. It mocks the women & men who reared us to love the truth, to stand up for justice, & to never stand by idly while tyrants trample on the dignity and life of our neighbors.”
Pope Leo has condemned ICE more than a dozen times—and wept after hearing migrants describe the terror they endured. Now, after ICE killed a widowed American mother, it’s clear: no Catholic can remain in ICE.
