This is an opportunity for bold generational reform, not tinkering around the edges.
Momentum is growing for significant tax reform in the May budget.
Dozens of groups are today calling for a tax on gas exports of at least 25% - a move that would raise $17 billion each year.
The board voted at its March meeting to require transgender students to use locker rooms and bathrooms that match their sex assigned at birth. The superintendent said social workers would meet with the affected students to go over the changes.
In case it is unclear: your ethical and moral obligation is to refuse to participate in enforcing this. To validate that this is wrong. To push back and stand with trans kids. To offer safe bathrooms. It is not to make it palatable or tolerable for other adults.

Congratulations!!
Thinking of those who are waking up every day to check if family and friends are safe, and who are having to endure our government continually failing to acknowledge, call out and act on war crimes, genocide.
People are expressing outrage about how Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested, saying it was too public. He was arrested with no cuffs, not a hand on him, despite facing allegations of war crimes.
I can’t help but think of the young Aboriginal boy wrongly arrested at gunpoint by the AFP on a Canberra bus.
This is OUTSTANDING 👏🏼👏🏼
Yes I will!!
Beautiful! Very Blake (in the best way)
OMG 70 pages!! I will have to buy it again 😂
I know this doesn't make any of the big stuff better, but I have just started reading your book and I am engrossed. Thank you so much.
(for everyone else - go buy The Rewind Files. It's so good)
A second photographer in Los Angeles lost an eye to law enforcement "less-lethal" munitions while just taking pictures at protests.
These weapons are supposed to be used ONLY for immediate violent threats.
Marshall Woodruff and now Tucker Collins were armed with nothing but a camera.
Thank you for speaking my truth 😂
ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months.
Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.
Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.
Placed in solitary.
Denied medical accommodations.
They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!
Historians: The Trump administration wants to issue oil and gas leases across the greater Chaco landscape. They've given the public ONE WEEK (till 4/7) to weigh in on the future of this immensely important place. Please tell them what you think: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-...
Jewish troops will be looking for Muslims hidden in the attics of Christians. Let that sink in. https://x.com/ryangrim/statu/ryangrim/status/2039684274564051425 Quote Ryan Grim @ryangrim · 10h Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.
And there it is.
This is devastating.
The medical examiner in Buffalo has ruled that the death of a nearly blind man left alone by Border Patrol agents on a frigid night was a homicide, a finding that could lead to criminal charges.
Congratulations Ian! Your work is essential, thrilled to see it recognised!
I’m alive today because a doctor with more than four decades of experience treating Black patients recognized my symptoms from a very small number of cases he’d seen in his career. This may seem quaint in light of big data and AI, but if it’s your life at stake you’d think (very) differently.
Lidia Thorpe told to stop quoting the vile words of QLD cops who used a choke hold on Indigenous man Steven Nixon-McKellar who died in their custody.
Cop: “choke this c*** out”
Too vile for our parliament but not too vile for the standards of QLD police. #auspol
Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.
Massive attacks tonight on central Isfahan, a sacred and stunning city in Iran of 2.3 million people. The city is on fire. The deaths and damage will be catastrophic. It would be like someone blowing up the Vatican, for comparison. May those responsible burn in hell.

Ben Gvir has no say over Israeli politics he's just a member of parliament, a member of the cabinet, the minister in charge of the national police, and is able to pass discriminatory laws that impose the death penalty onto one group of people on the basis of race. He's basically just the fringe.
"But the Palestinians being executed by Israel confessed to being terrorists!"
PALESTINIANS. DETAINED. UNDER. MILITARY. LAW. DON'T. GET. LAWYERS. DURING. THEIR. INTERROGATIONS. AND. TORTURING. THEM. IS. ROUTINE. AND. LEGAL.
Yeah they don't really talk about the magnitude of the impact - it's better than placebo so that's something but is it meaningfully improving lived experience?
This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect.
A judge signed off on it, cops went along with it, no process in place to even question the AI.

Laurel Hubbard: Who is the transgender weightlifter making history at Tokyo 2020? New Zealander, Laurel Hubbard, is set to make history when she competes in women's weightlifting at Tokyo 2020 on Monday (2nd August). An almost career-ending injury could have derailed her Olympic dream, but now she's on track to push for the podium in Japan
The banning of trans women from the Olympics is one of the most disgusting examples of bigotry I can recall.
There was literally ONE trans woman to compete at the Olympics. She failed to record a lift.
5 years ago the Olympics website lauded her.
Now the IOC regards her as an unperson.
