Herzog says demonstrations undermine his and Israelโ€™s rights.
There is no right to commit genocide.
No right to slaughter civilians and children.
No right to starve people.
No right to breach international law.
No right to use apartheid.
No right to silence concerned Australians.

Prominent climate scientist argues it's time to ditch the 'myth of neutrality' | CBC Radio Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe talks to Bob McDonald about the polarization of science and why she thinks scientists should stop pretending to be neutral when it's our planet at risk.

โ€œScientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,โ€says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.โ€ #ClimateCrisis

Science isnโ€™t neutral. Itโ€™s science.

Labor leadership defending decisions to limit democratic protest and invite the head of a foreign state committing genocide to Australia.
The police violence in Sydney was disgusting. What has happened to my party? Why are they defending genocide and police violence?

We knew from the moment we heard it that โ€œsocial cohesionโ€ would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Just so weโ€™re clear:

Protesting a genocide and the invite of a man credibly accused of war crimes = unacceptable violence

Police beating and detaining said protestors = justified violence

These are three of the vicious, criminal cops who bashed a peaceful man in Sydney today.

Notice something? Same moustache.

They're trying to avoid accountability by looking alike. Trying to discredit witness testimony in advance.

Keep filming. Don't let these filthy cowards get away with it.

Vale Jon Kudelka - a brilliant artist who knew the power of comedy in holding truth to power, and effecting change.ย 

His work showed a genuine and profound love for people and nature - often funny, often heartbreaking, but always incisive.ย 

Australia has lost a great today.

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says โ€œfrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be freeโ€ if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

An email from Epstein naming Herzog as coming to the island "this weekend" from 2014

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.

It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epsteinโ€™s conviction and outing as a predator.

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords
