In just over a month, over 500 Palestinians have been killed and at least 3,000 injured by Israeli forces while attempting to access vital aid. The silence from the world's most powerful leaders is deafening. Utterly outrageous and unacceptable: www.savethechildren.org.uk/news/media-c...

An ER medic reported injuries were grouped. Kids one day being shot in the middle of the forehead. Next day it might be the crotch, next day elesewhere.

These groupings could not be coincidental. He described it as "the gamification" of killing ie the IDF snipers did this for fun.

News media giving Trump credit for a potential pause in the genocide of Palestinians shows how morally bankrupt they are - the USA could've stopped supplying Israel with arms long ago and used other means to stop it.
THE USA ENABLED THE PROLONGED EXTERMINATION.

Outrageous to learn in #estimates that most of the federal $5.8 mil allocated to truth-telling wasn’t spent, and was then cancelled, and now NIAA are not working on truth or treaties, and have just half an FTE to monitor work by states and territories.

Discriminatory defrauding of public schools provides another resource advantage for private schools.

Public schools will be heavily underfunded in each year until 2034. The cumulative underfunding is estimated at a massive $34.6 billion. #auspol #schoolfunding

New school funding agreements deny full funding for public schools

The claim by the prime minister, premiers and their education ministers that public schools will be fully funded by 2034 is a blatant falsehood.

Australia has VAD. Three-quarters of respondents to a UK public poll reportedly said they’d “support making it lawful for someone to seek assisted dying,”. In the House of Commons, 314 MPs voted in favour and 291 against. #auspol #UkPoltics #VAD

Do politicians ever listen to the people or only the powerful?

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.’ Welsh word-wiz Dylan Thomas’ angry poem to his dying dad implied that the older man resisted passing. But for others, the end is welcome.

If Labor wishes to reclaim its moral authority, it must break with the consultant paradigm: rebuild public governance, fund socially vital disciplines and restore universities as places of learning, not revenue streams. #auspol #universitiesAU

How the ALP outsourced the soul of higher education

For most of its history, the Australian Labor Party spoke of education as a public good, the light on the hill, a vision of collective progress through strong institutions, universal access, and the elevation of ordinary citizens.
