Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children - The Shot
Breathe, slowly. It helps. Cry if you need to. All of this hurts. But please understand, before we go any...

Blame, grief and responsibility after Bondi
In the aftermath of a devastating attack on Sydney’s Jewish community, political leaders must resist the urge to weaponise grief or assign blame.

It's good to finally see Labor and the Greens co-operating. If there was more of that, we might see some progress & leave the Coalition behind forever. #auspol

This hit me hard. When my mother decided she wanted a better life for herself my 2 brothers and me. She kicked my pathological narcissist deadbeat conman of a father out. It was tough, she cried all the way to the welfare office to get our block of cheese and flour and never looked back. Grateful! ✌️
If you need the food bank right now, there’s no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families.
If you can give, do. If you can’t, that’s okay too.
We rise by lifting each other.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
