There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

There's a local bloke who at first glance seems like a single-issue crank, but it turns out the government's been lying to him repeatedly since 2012, having known for 20 years that he's right about mining damage in the area.
That's straight up Murder.

Someone tell Albo that you can’t say Australian personnel acted in compliance with international law and in the same breath say you haven’t done an assessment on the international law bit because that’s for the US and Israel to decide.

FAQ Friday What is the Broken Arm Theory?
The broken arm theory or ‘syndrome’ describes a common experience faced by some marginalised groups in medical settings. It occurs when medical professionals let personal stigma or bias shape the questions they ask or how they treat their patients. The broken arm theory originated within the transgender rights community, to describe the medical misattribution and invasive questioning that many trans and gender diverse people experience within general healthcare from medical professionals. The theory extends beyond gender, LGBTQIA+, and sex work discrimination also affecting other marginalised groups. It can be based on factors such as disability, weight, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, drug use, and more.
How does the Broken Arm Theory show up for sex workers? Picture this: You’re a sex worker and you walk into a clinic with a broken arm from a sporting accident. Instead of having the presenting symptom (your broken arm) be the focus of the appointment, somehow the doctor’s attention seems to be on your work. For example, the doctor might assume the injury is from a client.
While in some instances, healthcare providers may focus on sex work in a way that feels outwardly hostile, the Broken Arm Theory can also show up in pathologising or voyeuristic ways. I had cold and flu symptoms and went to a new GP. Once I disclosed my sex worker status, she asked irrelevant questions about my job and became focused on STI tests. I just had to sack a very sweet mental health professional... they were too interested in my life as a sex worker and our sessions were more discussing my history and stuff like that than about helping me.* *Treloar, C., Stardust, Z., Cama, E., & Kim, J. (2020). Rethinking the relationship between sex work, mental health and stigma: a qualitative study of sex workers in Australia. Social Science & Medicine, 113468.
Have you ever had a health care professional's stigma and bias impact your healthcare? You may have experienced the Broken Arm Theory.

You can tell how much Labor and the Coalition care about the poor Iranians by the way they hastily built a series of offshore concentration camps to imprison Iranian refugees *forever* when they tried to escape the regime.
