This is normal.
Target disabled kids. Target immigrants. Target Indigenous people.
This is the playbook from the Nazis, target the most marginalised people first, even though they have the least amount of power.
If the media is with you, you will continue to be platformed.

This is a tough read for me.
No one wants to see football players die for this sport. But they are. In 2025 alone, nine former NFL players under the age of 48 died. Seven of those deaths were a result of suicide, underscoring the fears surrounding the long-term neurological and psychiatric consequences of repeated head trauma.

With changes to the way trusts are taxed soon to be introduced to parliament, new research by The Australia Institute reveals that revenue equivalent to almost a quarter of GDP now flows through trusts.
The analysis conservatively estimates that family trusts alone cost the Commonwealth budget $4.9 billion a year in foregone revenue.

Could people add more articles to this thread please?

Starting school at 10am halves student illness and improves academic performance, finds study

For propaganda to be effective you have to stop people from thinking critically.
The best way to stop people from thinking critically is to stop them from asking questions, attacking education generally including anti-intellectualism, and taking away humanities arts and social sciences as the focus of university courses.

Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting that three children were among those injured as rocket shrapnel fell near the town of Sa’ir near Hebron in the southern West Bank.
The five injured people – including the children, aged six, seven and 12 – were taken to hospital, according to Wafa, which cited the Palestine Red Crescent Society.

I hope he gets the help he deserves.
My dad is an Australian Vietnam Veteran.
I'm glad the government looks after him with a pension and a good health plan.
Apparently the younger Australian veterans may not be so lucky...

Sarah Kendzior from 2016:
There are many groups organizing for both resistance and subsistence, but we are heading into dark times, and you need to be your own light. Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave – and it is often hard to be brave – be kind.
