Well, she's young & gorgeous if her pic is anything to go by! So if you're a judge a book by its cover kind of person, she reads as kind, attractive and young. But when you place the campaign image side by side with one that isn't AI generated, its hard to even guess who's who
3. During her run for council, she received an endorsement from conspiracy activist Joel Jammal who runs "Turning Point Australia." Because what we need in Australia is Erica Kirk-esque Nationalism as a side dish for a main course of racism, and aggressive queerphobia
2. Until recently, Louise Black was admin of a group called "Victorians Say No/Dan Andrews Must Go. Which is meh, but the most recent post isn't benign. Its by a musician called "White Flight." Its an ode to the Great Replacement Theory, and booking queries can go to...L. Black.
1. Louise Black, recently described herself as a member of the Liberal Party (unsure if this is current now), while also campaigning strongly against Voice, and being friends with (and engaging with) known proud boys and freedom movement members.
Want some political tea? CW for extreme anti-Indigenous racism, anti-semitism, transphobia & homophobia if you open the link, & I do suggest you open the link. What the hell is happening out in the Kingston Malaleuca By-election? Especially Louise Black, whose surname is somewhat ironic🧵
Yep! I did. Here are some clearer pics Ya'll. Thanks Lucy for the shoutout
Who is bored on Friday. Babet, one of the most unapologetically foolish and sensitive (blocks his fact checkers at a rate of knots) is speaking about why politics needs Christ (it doesn’t),why our freedom depends on it (it doesn’t) and how it shaped western democracy (nope). 1/6
Slight deviation, but did you see this? Closed community like this misses the point of education and often creates a system in which children have no safe people to report abuse to
Babet is such a simp for Trumpian theocratic Christian Nationalism. The "head of the home" thing is designed to take away women's rights because men are "the head of the home" according to Evangelical Order. Functionally, women run the home though. In his house, its his mum
Q: When is a fuel crisis & involvement in an ally's international conflict not a fuel crisis & involvement in an ally's interntnl conflict? A: when its built on decades of religious zionism, christian nationalism & dominionist infiltration of politics. clareheathmcivor.substack.com/p/god-albo-a...
Fresh on the substack - Ideologues and Unholy Wars: Trump's Iranian war, its Biblical underpinnings and why its not a group delusion, but Christian Nationalist group narcissism open.substack.com/pub/clarehea...
If I were Hilary, I would have maybe left Bill and the Bishop out of this Christmas greeting. Just saying. #EpsteinTrumpFiles
Ok. So I’m raging. The Australian Christian Lobby sent out an email today using the Bondi tragedy to fundraise. To fundraise. Not for Jewish communities or anti-racist efforts. But for more Christianity “in the public square.” Not ok. This is opportunistic grifting. Yuck
Look what I got in my inbox this morning: The Australian Christian Lobby agitating to get its supporter base to support efforts to loosen the laws on gay conversion practices - properly called Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Change efforts. (1/4)
So hang on. Moira Deeming will let JP out of the naughty corner if the party guarantees her pre-selection. This is anti-democratic. Selfish. Divisive. She claims she was denied the ability to serve her electorate. blah blah Nah girl. You chose war www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...
Sometimes I do interviews on Christian Nationalism. This one is for the Religious Trauma Collective's event taking place on the 19-21st June. If you're a therapist, you should definitely consider going. Religious Trauma is an important and underserved aspect of mental health
Let’s all start invoicing Trumpet of Patriots for every text they send after us messaging H Fong to stop
Ok the Libs need to stop sending their guys to footy meets to get lame photo ops. It’s not going well. Not with ScoMo. Not with Dutton
Could someone…read “Economics for dummies” to the Potus pls. Can’t just give it to him. Gotta actually read it to him. Nice and slow. Pause to explain big words
The Australian Christian Lobby just released this VERY helpful graphic on how well Political parties align with their values. I say helpful because now all we need to do is find the LEAST 'in alignment' group. Vote Green, Labor or your local indi if you're not a jerk
