The violence of this gesture. The racism. The dehumanization. The ruthlessness. The arrogance. The lawlessness. The bloodthirst. The unmitigated evil. This is the US empire.

Unpopular opinion: the hashtag #sciencenotstigma is revolting, or at least it produces revolting feelings in me. Fighting stigma is not a scientific endeavour: never was, nor should it ever be: it is political and sexy

Just one part of Labor contingent marching for Palestine: Ed Husic MP, Senator Tony Sheldon, Alison Byrnes MP, member for Cunningham. Massive numbers. Powerful message to Israel about the IDF’s war crimes and Israel’s genocide.
