Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting.
I immediately felt sick.
I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised.
Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame.
Hateful extremists ARE to blame.
We need unity. Not more hate.

A note about the Queensland government's ban on puberty blockers.
It's still just a ban on the state's *public* health system providing these. It's still legal to see a doctor privately for these. Locally or interstate.
We can crowdfund this care for the kids who can't afford it.

It’s funny that the Christian Right think they own ‘Australian values’. They are out of step with modern secular values! They have opposed the most important social reforms in recent history (VAD, equal marriage, abortion rights). Christianity is set to fall below 40% at next year’s Census.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.
