Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

This is an excellent interview. Fascinating US stories of how dedicated volunteers do their best to keep Nazis from gaining strength. Research, exposure, training & community. Anyone telling you anti fascists are the bad guy is a fascist or conned by one.

They want to scare you, they don't want you to vote. They want unrest, they want violence and there will be bomb threats in cities run by Democrats.
They will do everything they can to make you feel unsafe.

Fuck them, fuck ICE, fuck Steve Bannon, fuck Trump!!!!

“In my profession, I have seen many people break down in grief, but that image of Elizabeth’s father will stay with me forever,” she said. “I watched him sit in his car, bury his head in his hands, and cry uncontrollably. Those are images you do not forget.”

Albanese's baby photo opp and caption that it's a reminder of "who we are for" is posted on the eve of welcoming Israel's Herzog - a man who signed bombs that blow up children and who is complicit in a genocide.

So the Vic Department of Health is trying to force councils to pay for the Central Immunisation Records Victoria database. Councils are considering scaling down vaccination programs, cease other critical services, or charging vulnerable families in response

It’s Official: Alex Pretti’s Death Was a Homicide Alex Pretti was killed when federal immigration officers wrestled him to the ground and shot him 10 times.

No surprise. Alex Pretti’s death was ruled a homicide Monday by the Hennepin County medical examiner.

In the ME’s report, Pretti’s cause of death was listed as multiple gunshot wounds, and how the injury occurred was due to being “shot by law enforcement officer(s).”

Last month, the president, in declaring once again that the 2020 election had been stolen from him, left little doubt about his intentions.

“People will soon be prosecuted for what they did,” he said in remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

This is intentional division One Nation are pushing. Looking around our communities and deciding people don’t belong because they look different is a step before what ICE is doing. It’s seeking a future where we see enemies not friends and neighbours. We will always oppose this.

NSW Police target Sydney home over 'Boycott Israel' sticker Sydney resident claims police visited his house to warn of 'unacceptable' window display

"If Australia was serious about investing in health and education, it would be really simple.

"We would stop giving gas away for free and we'd transfer more money to the states to spend on health and education."

Apparently Rachel still has a job. I'd rather hoped that after the pathetic way that she behaved in the covid press conferences that she might have accepted that "journalism" really wasn't for her. Good to see that the Victorian premier can still stand up to her.

In what world would this be considered a “ceasefire” except the one where our prime minister calls for “social cohesion” then invites the leader of a state committing genocide to pop over for a visit whilst simultaneously arming them with weapons for that same genocide.

“Just one more thing, sir. You said Epstein files a hoax, you’re in them thousands of times. Affordability is a hoax, yet you’re on an affordability tour. Tough on drugs, then freed a 400-ton trafficker. Law & order who pardoned 169 who assaulted cops. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo says you’re a criminal.”

So this just happened.

Actually - the entire comment is good...

Praxis Praxis is building new cities to support those solving the world's hardest problems

Yes, a friend was talking about this last week. Mentioned this group (Praxis Nation ) in terms of Greenland, and as you say cold weather land is great for data centres. Hard to know what’s real and what’s rubbish nowadays though. www.praxisnation.com#about

Hate Speech. Protecting Israel's reputation in Australia just got cheaper - Michael West Israel’s reputation is treated as a strategic asset to be managed in Western media and political domains. Hate speech laws.

"Israel treats its reputation as a strategic asset", so the Hate Speech laws transfer the PR cost from the Israeli 'machine' to the Australian govt.

“Police have not identified which minority group Mr Mosslacher was directing his threats to, but he told the court he was Jewish.”

The U.S.A. should be boycotted for its blatant and unacceptable abuse of democracy and human rights

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.
