Grassroots Blak activists in solidarity with Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance successfully Abolish Aus Day Parade. That is progress and that is the power of mobilising the masses tirelessly year in, year out. #Invasionday #claimingourwins

We don't say goodbye to just a football player, we say goodbye to someone who changed the football we all love. Rest in peace, @Pele

If you don’t believe in sea level rise, this happened here in Hawaii yesterday. As pollution worsens, no one will be safe. Your wealth won’t save you.

This wave is not random, it is a result of Tropical Storm Darby, which had climbed to a Category 3 hurricane in the East Pacific. staradvertiser.com/2022/07/16/bre…

Just heard a good Ride2School Day suggestion with petrol so expensive: work out how much your parents would save if you rode to school…then ask for half of the saving as increased pocket money. Win win win (parents, student, planet)

✨National #Ride2SchoolDay 2022 is tomorrow!✨ It's the perfect opportunity to kick-start new healthy habits and promote the many benefits of active travel. Leave the car at home and give riding, walking, scooting or skating to school a go 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🛴🛹 #NR2SD @sportandrecvic
It is great that Eurostar are giving free passage to refugees from Ukraine but over 35,000 people have died trying to get into the EU since 93 & to know that the will could exist to facilitate those journey but was denied must sting for those that lost ones to fortress Europe.

Remember the frustration we all felt when English clubs got booted out of European competitions when the UK invaded Iraq and killed a million people? Oh wait…

All refugees deserve protection. Morrison reduced our intake by 5000. Refugees from Afghanistan are still in detention. The men in the Park Hotel are still prisoners. If he cared about Ukraine, he’d fix the broken immigration system that he’s so proud of.

Surreal to know Poland is setting up welcome centers for Ukranian refugees. Because Poland is also building high tech wall & detention centers & funding Polish Border Guard to block migration of mostly Yemeni, Egyptian, Syrian, Pakistani, Afghan refugees - as recently as today.
