Road safety is public safety. Every year, the numbers speak for themselves. I'm proud of my work on Council to bring traffic fatalities and injuries to zero. We need political will to deliver results, and Ken Sim and ABC have shown us time and again that this isn't a priority for them.

We don't talk about the Claremont Institute nearly enough.
The Claremont Institute's been pro-dictator, anti-democracy for some time; in Trump they found their useful idiot.

Claremont was among the first conservative think-tanks to recognise the opportunity that Donald Trump presented. Its trajectory mirrors a broader shake-up on the right, where actual thinking is much unwantedThe Claremont Institute makes the Heritage Foundation look like the Center for Public Broadcasting. Claremont is fascist nutters all the way down.We don't talk about the Claremont Institute nearly as much as we should. So much of this 💩show was first voiced in the Claremont Review.

Aren’t the Greenland and Canada fixations part of the American sphere of influence project that so many folks associated with the Claremont Institute have? Just because they’re incompetent doesn’t mean there isn’t a strategic vision.This is what the Claremont Review does: it attempts to create a coherent world-view out of racism, misogyny, and homo-/transphobia, to normalize hate as a rational response.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
