It is a cloak to deploy troops
If he deploys troops he will do what he likes
It is the force he requires not any legislation- he doesn’t care what laws say
It is very quaint that people think laws will protect them against force
He is already acting outside laws domestically and internationally
I’m going to open my DMs for one week.
Please can you drop me a line if you have contracted any hospital acquired infection (at least you think it happened in hospital) in New South Wales.
Are you feeling confused today about whether or not it is OK to bomb a school or hospital that actually has kids and patients in them? Regardless of what race or religion of people those kids and vulnerable people belong to?
I can’t help you. Please unfollow and delete your account.

BREAKING: Minnesota AG Keith Ellison announces lawsuit against DHS, ICE and Border Patrol.
"We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota for our diversity, for our democracy and our differences of opinion with the federal government is a violation of the Constitution and of federal law."
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
More great work from Griffith
Three years ago if I'd seen this headline I would have assumed it to be satire.
I remember very clearly talking to a medical scientist I know in early 2020 that 1) the vaccine development was not going to have ideal outcomes (any time soon) because coronaviruses are hard, 2) also just look at the situation with cats, and 3) just generally "yikes"
On days like today I just don’t understand why emergency services can’t cross post onto Bluesky
Surely it can be done
"The narrative of this shooting being done in self-defense is garbage."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.
The forecast for Friday in Victoria is horrific with temps in places of 45-47 degrees and very high winds
Please check the predictions for your area and the surrounding areas
If in doubt, leave early
Saturday is not a great day for parts of NSW including Sydney
oops, spoke too soon:
Libraries are air conditioned, free and often quite lovely. So councils kind already do... more choices would be good, but it's a start
Councils MUST develop proper cool zone plans. Safe spaces so people don't have to share tips like this about how to not die. (This is not hyperbole; people literally die in heatwaves). Underground stations can also get hella hot; we're asking people to choose how they suffer. 🥵

1. Sometimes, the absurdity of the situation we're all in just hits me. Going forward, ongoing and continuous transmission of SARS-CoV-2 will lead to an ever-increasing percentage of the global population developing chronic illnesses due to sequelae of infection.
This is what “you do you” public health looks like
In fairness… not testing because you might not like what you find is ever more deeply ingrained in medical culture.
Wild seeing statements from ER visit: physio tried to tell me that it’s typical for spinal fractures to cause ZERO pain at rest and get worse with movement, bumps etc.
I’m still regularly thinking “WTF?!” 24hrs later. Milder when still makes sense but zero pain?!
Is it seriously changing the behaviour of the teens you know? Our teen has exhibited literally zero change what so ever. We adults are more up in arms about the principle of the thing than the teen is impacted by it happening.
This is where I pray my one way masking kept me safe the 24hrs in ER, 4-5m away from a very unwell confirmed flu case.
In this new timeline, Darth Vader gets the Nobel Peace Prize. Or possibly Palpatine.
Could be a group prize.
Ha yep. Also think its kinda weird how in the past we were just like "oh a load of people die of flu and hospitals struggle each year" and no one thought "could we like...not do this?"
My spine is not fractured. Yay. I won the argument to get an MRI referral… which who knows how long that will take.
Seek… seek medical help
Not unkind. But I have zero expectation of meaningful help and the exposure to all the infections is worrying. Nothing like an ER visit to reenforce one really should not seal medical help
More often than not, it’s not even actual rudeness.
It’s being loud (escalating), being insistent, challenging the plan, demanding attention. ->
