The sin of progressive politics is being on the right side of history too early. What is so radical in working towards something better? The point.com.au

Illustrated poster by Nordacious. A young woman with light brown hair wearing a red shirt and black-and-white keffiyeh stands on the deck of a ship, facing massive, ominous, dark blue waves. Her hair and scarf blow in the wind. At the bottom is a quote from Greta Thunberg: β€œWe are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying. Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity.” The words "lose our humanity" are highlighted in red.

I said it yesterday - I view Welcome To Country as an act of generosity, a hand extended in friendship

That anyone would reject that hand tells me all I need to know about the quality of that person

We live on beautiful, ancient lands, steeped in the greatest history

I'm truly grateful for that

Marty Sheargold's co-hosts enabled, condoned, even actively encouraged his crude sexism & misogyny with their supportive sniggering laughter. None of them stepped up. I am sick to death of men using their media platform to belittle, mock, degrade & insult women. #media #sexism #misogyny

Just a reminder … Australian preferential voting allows you to choose who gets your vote should your first preference not be successful.

Make your vote count, don’t vote for the same old shit.

January 26th is not a day of celebration for Australian Indigenous communities; it marks the beginning of immense loss and trauma.
