Sorry I just can't believe Penny Wong is posting her Ls like that. voting against gay marriage for so long and then trying to use that as a basis for your moral stance now to bully another party member for standing up for Palestine??? Does she bear herself?

I cannot summon the words to sufficiently express how soulless and disgusting this statement is. Nor do I want to spend the energy on it because we need that energy to direct emphatically and materially against these bloodlust ghouls clinging to their world order so desperately

Solidarity with RMIT staff going on strike. If we have learned anything from the past few years it's that this is a sector of workers that knows how to take action
After years waiting for a new enterprise agreement, RMIT staff are striking for real pay rises, fair workloads and secure jobs. As other

Right??? The fucking nerve of this government whose pretense to legitimacy rests on its own violent genocidal dispossession, which of course then makes it do this but fuck the fuck off
i am so angry at this use of the australian border and its bureaucracies to torture people trying to flee genocide. this is australian history, this is the australian present. this is what settler-colonialism looks like. it is unjust, it is violent, and it needs to be ended.

I still can't get past the spinelessness of the ‘safety’ discourse. The encampments are safe because they're antiracist on all fronts! They are safe because the anger and hopelessness is transformed into love and care and solidarity and joy (until the cops arrive obviously)

The people in institutions all over, not just SLV, who are hiding behind such a violently appropriated concept of ‘safety’ to silence Palestinian & Arab voices&anyone standing against the genocide, must be doing some really cooked mental gymnastics to make that word work for them

Also as a space dedicated to Asian-Australian artists and writers, it manages to be expansive and inclusive rather than cordoned off. And for me, someone with a lifetime of baggage and ambivalence towards that part of myself, has felt like a place to hold and be held
