Such an important point:
βProgressive policiesβ¦are very popular in this countryβ¦but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives weβre losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.β Matt Dowd
I wish more understood this.
A confessionβ¦

Western governments have been extraordinarily slow to respond to GENOCIDE and FORCED STARVATION and the ELIMINATION OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN
Norway is only now reviewing it's investments in Israel
Meanwhile ...
Over 300,000 people marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge calling for an end to Israel's genocide of the Palestinians & for participants to be held accountable for crimes against humanity.

This is how you remain unelectable. Racist & stupid at the same time.
What I find depressing beyond words is the fact evildoers like Jillian Segal, Mark Leibler, the AJA, ECAJ, AIJAC, Netanyahu et al. as well as those in Washington have the ear of @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social, but the good people of Australia do not.

You can't genuinely stand against Epstein and his associates while also believing that school genital inspections to hunt down trans kids are a reasonable policy compromise. It isn't possible.

The rise of totalitarianism in America is eerily similar to Germany in the 1930s
Manipulated electoral systems, criminal issues with their leaders, and controlled military and police forces, collaboration with courts, and the use of propaganda to maintain power.

No ABC it wasn't a "pro-Palestine march", it was an anti genocide / pro human rights march
The entire article is devoted to what the police said & did, but the danger of 'peril' was ever present apparently
