Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness.

Joe Biden leaves several legacies, good and bad. But the most tangible and lasting is this.
It's the result of his disgraceful, enduring support for #genocide: the literal wiping of a people and their built environment off the map.
Whatever else he did, this will forever be attached to his name.

It will be nice if we as a collective can learn that we don't have to keep giving the people who were born into wealth power. X was allowed to continue change into what it is now. There are always other options for goods and services. The only question is, are we willing to be inconvenienced?
