Australia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation.
If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.

Marque will be open for business on 26 January. We do not think it’s a good date for our national day because what it marks is the beginning of the destruction of an entire population and ancient culture. We would like our country to grow up and choose a kinder day.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

And all so they can get a headline in media which hardly anyone reads and hardly anyone trusts 😩😩 #auspol
Imagine looking at the state of the world, with an unassailable majority, and thinking, "our main priority is a budget surplus". They have no interest in climate, culture, society or workers. An absolute disgrace from top to bottom.

The IDF is the biggest generator of antisemitism in the world. A group of murdering trigger-happy thugs focussed on murder and destruction and with zero respect for the laws of Judaism is still getting away with pretending to be Jewish.

What @albomp.bsky.social really meant when he made this claim in 2019—
Journalism is not a crime unless you're Palestinian.
Protesting is not a crime unless you're against the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.
Labor will always protect the freedom of apartheid Israel to commit genocide. #auspol

Europe stood up to the US for one week and it backed down on using the military in Greenland and on tariff threats.
It’s clear placating the bully doesn’t work, telling the US to sit down and shut up does work.
The Australian government can apply this lesson to the US and to Newscorp.
