The cop cars were pushed out and have left the crowd of protestors.

There are millions more of us than there are of them. Never forget that.

LA is successfully fending off cops despite tons of feds and now national guard troops.

These are the pay equity claims that the government wiped out in just two days to make its budget balance. It's appalling that tax breaks for tobacco companies are being funded by cutting women's pay rises and backpay.

So much of the damage caused by modern fascism is due to, like, cliques of about fifteen too-online fascists who just HAPPEN to have good friends at major media news desks and in mainstream politics. This is of course how Britain went transphobic.
One of the things about Rhys Williams being revealed as the account promoting the smear on Doyle is that it proves how SMALL the hardcore bigot brigade is. Oh, he organised BigotStock, and is close with the Banned From New World family? AOB picked up his stuff? It's like fifteen people max.

Let's be clear Winston Peters et al knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they kicked off this insane conspiracy attack - they're trying to get people harmed, there is no other reasonable explanation given the current cultural context

We're relieved to hear this, and heartbroken that it took a brutal beating by screws and a hunger strike for it to happen.

Horrific cases like Dean's will continue to happen until housing is recognised as a human right, and until prisons cease to exist.

We're incredibly disappointed in the Govt’s proposal to cut the Living Wage from cleaners, security guards &caterers in govt agencies.

The Govt intend to 'increase jobs & incomes' by changing how govt agencies procure services. A cut to the pay packets of essential workers is the exact opposite.1/n

I feel like more needs to be made of this. It's been an overt attack in the House from the Deputy PM and Cabinet on the equal rights of citizens to participate in our electoral system, and any migrant or child of migrants should find it as chilling as I do.
