- Reposted by Douglas WilsonAnother threat to Lakemba Mosque isn’t an ‘incident’. It’s the result of years of Islamophobia and racism being ignored, denied, and fuelled by political cowardice from the Albanese government.
- Reposted by Douglas WilsonI guess it should’ve been obvious that putting News Corp and Daily Mail editors in charge of The Age and SMH would lead to the papers eventually just openly campaigning for Hanson

- Reposted by Douglas Wilson"The (UN) commission of inquiry has found that Herzog has incited genocide... Someone who incites genocide does not satisfy the good character test for entering Australia. On the contrary, a person who incites genocide should be arrested on arrival and tried under Australian and international law."

- Reposted by Douglas WilsonSome people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
