Someone has duplicated both my Twitter and Mastodon profiles. This is the most popular I have been in my life. The Mastodon one says aus.social but talks about sport in Detroit USA.

Assumptions & opinions are not facts, even mine! Resist people who trade conscience for pre-selection & those who 2nd preference the worst poss option.

When our subcommittee held the first hearing on Big Oil's climate denialism, we learned Exxon knew the basic science of climate change 40 years ago but waged a war of deception that cost precious time in the fight to save humanity.

Aaron DoddFAR-RIGHT trolls have been left red faced after spreading fake photos of Dan Andrews partying with gangsters in the 90s — proof, they claimed, of “corruption”. The photoshopped fakes, which have been circulating on social media, have been shot down by AAP Fact Check. #auspol
YourQueeringTherapistLiberals’ and self-proclaimed progressives’ silence on the eugenicist policies and practices being imposed on trans kids by the state, medical professionals, & insurance companies is deafening.
Evan Urquhart 🏳️⚧️My work, by necessity, is mostly concerned with trying to bring attention to scary, bad stuff, but that doesn't mean I think things are hopeless.
I think the risks to trans people's ability to live in peace are real. But I do see signs of hope. The apathy in the mainstream- the same apathy that spurred me to create an, independent trans news site, is lessening. People are noticing us..
Will it be enough? I don't know. But our efforts to raise the alarm have not been in vain. Far from it.

It's Going DownCW: Death, Police Murder
Hundreds of people have taken to the streets over the last few days, to decry the police murder of Sayed Faisal, a 20 year old CVS employee and student in the #Boston suburb of #Cambridge, #Massachusetts.
Responding to a 911 call, police arrived on the scene to find Sayed cutting himself with a knife and claim that after asking him to disarm himself and then shooting a "less-lethal projectile," he lunged at him, leading police to open fire, killing him.
However, local media reports that "surveillance video and witness accounts suggest Faisal was running from police, trying to hurt himself," when he was shot and killed.
Community members claim that Faisal was in the midst of a mental health crisis and needed support and instead was shot and killed by law enforcement. This killing follows an ongoing pattern of police murdering people in the midst of a mental health episode.
