The immune system is not a muscle.

It is a cleansing fire.

It causes collateral damage.

It has a limited supply of fuel.

It can get out of control.

Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

First of the arrests in Queensland from Premier David Crisafulli's criminalisation of speech regime. The bill had been granted royal assent by the Qld Governor just hours prior. There was a much larger Qld police presence than we have seen at Palestine rallies in the past. #qldpol

From the river to the sea! I am not an anti-semite. I am not a terrorist.

"From the river to the sea" is not hate speech.

#ALBO #MINNS & #CRISSIFILI are intent on enforcing illegal new hateful laws.

Shame on them all!

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Men have another get out of jail free card for child rape. In NSW, 'reasonably believing' a child is old enough is a defence. In other words, there's a loophole for raping children and an ex-MP used it successfully. How could he not know the victim was 13?!

The stock market, over-leveraged property speculation and access to the tax avoidance industrial complex is not "the economy."

The unprovoked, unnecessary and illegal Israeli US war on Iran WILL cost almost every person in the World a pot of money.

(Not the very rich who always profit from war.)

Those who tell Trump the war is crazy are called traitors for putting the US at risk.

They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than β€œpolitics.”

They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

You know who weren’t nice people?

But don't worry everyone. Covid is gone. But it's still here and extremely dangerous, but it's gone you don't have to worry about it. It's still here but not as bad. It's really dangerous but it's gone don't worry

You know Smithers, I don't think reminding the entire country that the Labour Government did well in extreme circumstances when the National Government is doing shite in unpressured circumstances is quite the tactical stroke of genius they thought it would be.

Queenstown-based tech entrepreneur Brian Cartmell donating hundreds of thousands to political parties Brian Cartmell, a Queenstown-based expat American, has given big donations to ACT, National, NZ First and the Opportunity party.

This kind of crap is why we need to get donations out of politics. Money is not speech. The rich do not merit more influence than the rest of us.

US military kills 6 in strike on alleged drug boat in the Eastern Pacific The U.S. military says it has killed six men in a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean as part of the Trump administration’s campaign against alleged traffickers

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

You’re nearly there, Newsroom…

Now ask:
β€œSo why did we do all this a SECOND time at all this expense?”

Bonus round:
β€œWhy did Luxon, 8% Melted Rimmer, and their chucklefuck MP’s keep demanding Labour STOP doing the best COVID response in the world thereby damaging public trust in it?”
