I've had horrible dreams about crumbling teeth. Also turning up for an exam only to realise it's on a topic I've done no study for. And also realising half way through a nursing shift that I've forgotten about a patient. They're all so horribly vivid.

I keep forgetting and then remembering, and it hurts every time.

Questions I wish the media would ask NSW Premier @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social #auspol

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” 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.

Spending my afternoon lying on the floor listening to Laura Marling's entire discography

Dottie was actually seeking out Muriel here! Inching closer and closer to Muriel in her box.

Haha it's good that he's behind a paywall, it means we don't have to hear anything he says

"Calls for “social cohesion” are a form of power speech, in which the powerful attempt to dictate what those with less power can legitimately say. Labor’s insistence on “social cohesion” has all along been targeted at those who oppose genocide"

This! 👇

Fantastic article. And I went to grab the exact same quote as you.

I want to see the orders that were given to the cops yesterday – every one of them came positively frothing at the prospect of inviting violence, and that kind of unified attitude has to have come from *somewhere*

Thanks 🤩 💯 hit all the points.
Living inside media and lobbying bubbles is no way to make policy. It has to end.
This isn’t a democracy when our spineless politicians have outlandishly handed power away with every craven bowing in to lobbyists groups grabbing for power and influence.
Independents✊

Yesss 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I was waiting for your article.

Herzog says demonstrations undermine his and Israel’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.

This is a big wake up for white people who are usually not a target for the police. I hope we pay attention to what is happening, while recognising that Indigenous and other groups are regularly targeted and assaulted by cops.

Fantastic letter. Thank you.

I am very sadly not surprised

This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it. - Michael West NSW Police have assaulted dozens of peace protestors who gathered to protest the visit by Israeli president Isaac Herzog to Australia.

Alan, have you read this article,: michaelwest.com.au/this-was-pla...

Share, share , share. Do not believe what you read in mainstream media about "violent protesters". It was the police.

They're not "extreme measures", they're following the science to stop themselves from getting sick.

Tonight 120 people in Benalla (rural Victoria) protested against Herzog's visit to Australia.

'SOCIAL COHESION'. TRASH ALL YOUR CIVIL LIBERTIES, INVITE THE KING OF INFANTIDICE OVER FOR A VICTORY LAP, AND BRUTALISE ANYONE WHO DARES OBJECT. DO WE FEEL COHERED?

I found out this afternoon 😞, it was a punch to the gut.

Sickening images of police violence tonight in Sydney. Kettling, spraying, punching, and dragging people in prayer. Unsurprising but deeply upsetting. All to protect and defend (checks notes) genocide and its architects. Shame on NSW and shame on the Albanese government. Gormless stooges. Hell world

She spoke so well at today's Melbourne rally

Signs from today's march

Nice to meet you in person Dave, random hellos from an internet friend!

An absolute sea of people has gathered at Flinders Street Station in Naarm/Melbourne this evening. Tens of thousands saying loud and clear: HERZOG IS NOT WELCOME HERE! ✊🇵🇸

Massive protest here in Melbourne
