Don Lemons first remarks after his Indictment-that 2 judges rejected. Along with 3 other black journalists

β€œI will not stop reporting the news. I will not be silenced”

There is no freedom of the press in Trumps America & this is chilling.

We’re living in a generation of rage‑media-division sells.

I can be offended by Jan 26 & still love my country.

I’m tired of Aboriginal ppl being painted as enemies of the country for exercising our right to protest.

This narrative doesn’t just divide us; it normalises hate towards us.

These Trump voters now expressing remorse as if they couldn’t predict they were voting an extremist into the White House. Trump promised everything he is doing.

The new hate laws will only matter if hate directed at Aboriginal people is taken as seriously as hate directed at powerful groups. Anything less is just the same double standard we’ve become sadly accustomed to.

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Just received this lovely email- just another day in Aust being abused for being an Aboriginal person.

It’s being reported to the police. Every email we receive automatically captures their IP address.
There are some truly disturbing people among us.

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress.

Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes.

I have a lot of respect for people who work at the VA and I’m sorry they have to serve during this dickhead’s tenure.

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.

β€œI’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

Happy 82nd bday Paul Keating
β€œIt begins, with recognition that we did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands & smashed the traditional way of life.We brought the diseases.
The alcohol.We committed the murders.We took the children from their mothers.We practised discrimination & exclusion”

There is no way on God’s green earth that anyone else with an ongoing BRIBERY investigation looming over their head would be approved for access to the janitor’s closet at DHS, let alone a security clearance.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.
