  1. Pinned Tweet
  2. Why is it “free speech” if it involves vilifying minorities but “propaganda” if it involves programs that challenge that vilification? 🤔

  3. “We must continue to stand up to the bullies and bigots who hide behind free speech.” —

  4. If “political correctness” ceased to exist, what'd people like Bolt or Devine write about? Their careers are built on complaining about it.

  5. Important piece in about improving how the media covers violence against Aboriginal women.

  6. It’s perverse that many politicians and media are more interested in defending the reputations of racists than stopping actual racism. IMHO.

  7. Just let kids express their gender however the they want. My parents did and I think I turned out pretty tolerable (if I do say so myself).

  8. Thank you, , for your patient, persistent, and thorough responses to those who trade in vilifying dismissals than actual facts.

  9. Racism is so banal that now calling someone "racist" is a much more degrading slight than, you know, actual racism. It's so sad/frustrating.

  10. If it is good to have laws to stop people vilifying reputation, why is it bad to have laws to stop people vilifying (racial) identity?

  11. Those who profit from colonised land should not moralise about, let alone legislate against, others who seek it out for refuge. Just saying.

  12. It’s odd how people who own beachfront Sydney property whinge about “elites” who must spend all their income to just rent in the inner city.

  13. Violence against women cuts across all demographics (race, class, sexuality, geography, etc). Ignoring intersections dooms policy responses.

  14. Donald Trump was elected on an Angry White Man™ platform, not a policy one. So, tell me again how merit, not identity, matters in politics?

  15. What’s worse: Trump’s narcissism or a disrespect for democracy that surpasses it (impugning an election process he won)? Either way: fucked.

  16. “Why should a person lose his life as a result of a simple infection?”

  17. “Note to self: ban voting. That’ll stop them.”

  18. You know what’s emotional blackmail? When you shame people into hiding their sexuality. You know what isn’t? Making you account for that.

  19. “I will not stand by and let more queer kids tumble head first into helplessness, never to resurface.” Hear, hear!

  20. Here’s a thought: maybe redirect some of the moral righteousness reserved for other countries to our egregious refugee detention regime? Ta.
