"'What really concerns me is the whole atmosphere of intimidation.'

Farley, who had attended a number of peaceful demonstrations in the past, pointed out on the day he was arrested, 32 Palestinians were shot by the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza while queuing for aid, a subject referenced on his placard."

I've just updated my 'Palestine' t-shirt/hoodie/sticker design. The update doesn't make you any less likely to be arrested, but should hopefully make it easier to argue your case in court.

Feel free to download, copy and use. Any profits you make please donate to an authentic #Palestinian charity.

Any fine or prison sentence you incur for displaying it you should treat as a badge of honour.

Victoria’s draconian new anti-protest laws will have a chilling effect on free speech — and won’t keep anyone safe. Far-reaching anti-protest measures and giving police more repressive powers only serve to increase the risk of escalating violence.

Australia’s protester crackdown didn’t start with Hannah Thomas — and it won’t end with her. The injuries sustained by the former Greens candidate are just the latest event in Australia’s crackdown on the right to protest.

"They showed me pictures of protests that I wasn’t even in. They showed me pictures of [information about] upcoming events, only a few of which were actually protests, the other which were just meetings and free food events."

AFAICT this is a very real looming problem, yet our cretinous AusPol lack-of-leadership bullshit shemozzle is either exacerbating this, or at the very least, not helping. Eg... each time i begin again to ponder if i could possibly overcome my personal demons to fully electrify my home [ie, endure all the intensive peopling needed] when our gas prices rise [ie, increasing the economic desire to convert], what happens? Yep, our fucken electricity prices rise as well, thus reducing or eliminating the economic incentive.

Ofc all the climate, & moral, reasons remain to more than justify converting, but so far, w/o also the strong economic reasons, my demons keep winning the day. For normal, non-me, peeps, sans my demons, the confused economic signals alone prolly entirely prevent them converting.

Fuckheads, our govt. 🙄🤦‍♀️

“Petitioner is not a flight risk, & the evidence presented is that he is not a danger to the community,”Judge Farbiarz said. “Period, full stop.”

During an hourlong hearing conducted by phone, the New Jersey-based judge said the #Trump admin had “clearly not met” the standards for #detention.

The #DOJ filed notice Friday night that it is appealing #MahmoudKhalil’s release. [cuz they’re assholes]
