Australian police admit Muslim worshippers had permission to perform prayers after backlash over forcible removal New South Wales police forcibly removed worshippers, dragged them as they performed prayers during protest against Israeli president’s visit to Australia - Anadolu Ajansı

Australian police have admitted that Muslim worshipers assaulted by police had permission to perform prayers...hit the Turkish news before the Australian news. A non-apology for 'any offence taken for interfering with that religious process' Assault is not 'interfering'

You breached your own character and hate laws to grant him a visa.

We are not the problem.

Your lack of leadership is.

Watching Albanese tell us that we the Australian public need to bring the temperature down is gaslighting at its worst.

Here's a great word, 'demoniacal', from Nathan Drake's #Shakespeare and His Times, 1817 #RichardIII

RICHARD
Madam my mother, I do cry you mercy;
I did not see your Grace. Humbly on my knee
I crave your blessing.

DUCHESS
God bless thee, and put meekness in thy breast,
Love, charity, obedience, and true duty.

#RichardIII 2.2.91-95 #ShakespeareSunday

And yet his punishment was bitter death.
Who sued to me for him? Who, in my wrath,
Kneeled at my feet, and bade me be advised?
Who spake of brotherhood? Who of love?

No condemnation from Western leaders, but inviting war criminals here instead.

One of the greatest of all of #Shakespeare’s speeches does not appear in one of his plays

Unbelievable

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
