Monoculturalism and Project Invisibility
Silencing dissenting Indigenous voices

"Project Invisibility is a sustained campaign to remove First Nations leaders from public boards and other senior government roles."

"We're going back to the [master] days, like you have your head bowed, you're too afraid to put your head up and speak your mind because you might be out the door."

"It means you'll have the same old Eurocentric version of the world in your policies, everything you're doing within government will be white, anglicised."

"They are eradicating, invisibilising us, and destroying our history and culture." >>

#PortlandME - #PMA Films: #StealThisStory, Please!

Directed by Carl Deal and Tia Lessin. 98 minutes. Not Rated. In English.

"Undeterred by armed #soldiers, smooth-talking #politicians, and #RiotPolice, journalist #AmyGoodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Steal This Story, Please! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to #TruthTelling spans three decades of turbulent history. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news show #DemocracyNow!, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial media.

"Oscar-nominated filmmakers #CarlDeal and #TiaLessin (Trouble the Water, The Janes) take us behind the scenes with the warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi raised in a tradition of asking hard questions as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of #resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?"

(1/2) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the world’s first scientists, science communicators, and innovators.

At Sci_Burst, meaningful allyship looks like delivering Acknowledgements of Country in language 🗣️, amplifying First Nations voices 📣, and life-long learning about the world’s longest continuing cultures ☀️.

A #solarpunk future in Australia can’t happen without #truthtelling, #reconciliation, and centring First Nations Knowledges 🖤💛❤️.

This isn’t really about anger.
It’s about what survival does to a person when safety has always felt temporary.

Raw. Human. Unfiltered.
