The destruction of Gaza is the destruction of the whole world. The Israeli government, with the eager assistance of the United States, is laying the groundwork for for how we respond to genocide and atrocities in the 21st century.

I just donated to ASRC. Not just because they need to get their food vans back on the street, but cause these angels do amazing work every other day of the year. You can donate too: donate.asrc.org.au/freedom

'A survey of Australians as young as 13 found misogyny can predict extremist violence more strongly than ideology, religion or time online.' The under-16 social media ban won't address this. We have to start having the necessary difficult conversations to challenge gendered disrespect everywhere.
