This from Kos Samaras, with whom I have often disagreed, is very well said:
"Crises demand one thing above all else: national cohesion and calm authority. Protect people. Back the agencies. Target those who promote or plan violence, not peaceful communities. Speak like a leader, not a commentator"

For the record, I do find it disturbing that so many can see this perverse distortion of truth when the pile on is of a Labor Prime Minister, but not when it's on a whole group of oppressed brown people

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
