A man threw a bomb containing explosive liquid, ball bearings & screws into the crowd at an #InvasionDay rally. Fortunately, it didn't explode. Minimal media coverage. Imagine the media coverage if:
a) it was thrown into a synagogue or
b) the perpetrator was brown or Muslim.

We name cyclones, because naming helps communicate risk, drive health responses & lodge events in public memory. Is it time to consider naming our most deadly climate hazard after the companies most responsible for heat-intensifying emissions? I think so.

As temperatures to rise, it's time to name heatwaves what they are
We should start by calling heat what it is – a silent killer – and by asking those who profit from it to own their share of that harm.

Australia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation.
If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.

Israeli Gov's list of top 10 Australian 'anti-Semitic' orgs, politicians & people.
No actual Nazi groups ie National Socialist Network.
Most solely oppose genocide of Palestinian civilians - this is Not anti-semitic.

Ooft. The truth hurts
The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I so want to share the (savage) closing line of this brilliant piece. A brutal take on Murdoch’s “menagerie” and the far right vortex sucking coalition members further into their own echo chambers.

Projection: #Fremantle ALP retain. Seat has been moved to expected win status.
(Again I tend to avoid categorically "calling" seats outside Tas while there's a lot going on but I project Hulett at low-mid 48s in the live count which an indie relying on Lib prefs won't recover.)

What the Liberals do next is important to them & irrelevant to Australia. ALP has a big majority in the House, and with the Greens have a majority in the Senate. The Liberals are a minor party in waiting

Nothing stands the way of Labor and ambitious, progressive reform
The big question now is whether the second term Labor government will make the big changes that Australians clearly want and need.
