- Reposted by Richard JonesThis is so factual & clearly-explained: how & why the thoughtful, evidence-based Australian approach to #trans & #nonbinary kids & teens works. It exposes the UK Cass report as very dog's breakfast-y indeed & outlines a much better way than the UK & US Govt adoption of anti-trans nastiness.

- Reposted by Richard JonesWhen reporting Israel's attacks on Iran it's important journalists remember Israel is a genocidal state, whose armed forces in the past 2yrs have murdered tens of thousands of civilians, many of whom were children and babies. So maybe not treat everything they say with total credulity

- Reposted by Richard JonesIsrael has killed over 400 Palestinians & injured 3,000 since it imposed its deadly aid distribution mechanism in Gaza.

So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran? This resolution is important.

- Reposted by Richard JonesThe Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

Israel murdering those it considers its enemies, which is every Moslem, and Trump exercising gangster diplomacy- demanding an unconditional surrender from Iran even though they are not the aggressor.Gun to the head, disgusting.

- Keep hearing Liberals saying how they have not clearly communicated what they stand for. But what DO they stand for other than the interests of greedy old white boomers who will go to their graves in a warming world clutching onto their franking credits. And I’m a rich old white boomer. #4Corners

Essentially a US Republican franchise, they are not interested in governing. Division and mean-spiritedness is their end game. Just appalling people.
