#McBride Was sentenced today. Six years, or two years if he gets out on parole.
McBride was not allowed a lot of his evidence in court, preventing any possibility of him winning the case.
David McBride photocopied over 200 proofs of the #Australian [#Australia ] military committing, and hiding, war crimes in Afghanistan.
After McBride released his proof to the #ABCaustralia the AFP raided the journalists. Jailing journalists is a dangerous precedent that the government has toyed with for decades, but never committed to (see #WitnessK ). Jailing McBride is possibly the most damaging thing to Australian #democracy the government has enacted in decades. It was possible to pardon him, like they did with Witness K.
Fuck the judge that sentenced him, fuck the prosecution, and fuck the government ministers for not speaking out on this, even the ones that couldn't do anything about it.

To all the people who keep reporting my mutual aid posts for "spam", just know that my instance admins arent gonna listen to your bigotry and classism. You are just wasting your energy. If you dont want to see my mutual aid posts then go block me or cry about it. Mutual aid posts are not "spam" no matter the circumstance. Asking others for good faith and help in desperate situations should be met with love and support, not hatred and neglect.
If you truly want me to stop posting mutual aid posts, then why not donate to me so i dont have to ask anymore? I only ask because i am so genuinely desperately poor that i have to ask random strangers on the internet to donate money to me. I can't even reliably afford my own basic necessities like food and healthcare costs. Please donate so i dont have to ask anymore, thank you. Please choose kindness instead of hatred.
If u all could at least donate 20$ i could afford a decent amount of food off that alone, and if i could get multiple 20$ donations or even more amount i would be so greatful, i rlly need the money badly! and if u could donate 50$ or more i could hopefully get enough to afford new glasses or afford hrt!!!! but any amount would do! and i would also appreciate any amount of sharing, preferably off-platform (if u use bluesky, twitter, reddit, even threads, i would appreciate if u could spread the word on those platforms too, cus i rlly need the help and i would appreciate it a lot), but im also ok with u sharing it on-platform too, preferably through boosts but also through reposts if u wish, any help counts!!! pls and thank u for reading!!!! pls help me thank u!!!!!!!!
I still need money for food and hrt!! please share and donate!!! i need all the money i can get!!! i dont have a lot and rlly need the help!!! pls and thank u!!!! pls send help thx!!!!!
Please help me, i cant access my venmo funds, i dont know when the lastest i will be but all the funds i have in there are trapped until i can figure out how to extract them. Please donate to my cashapp or paypal until then. Please help me, i cant afford my bike now. Help. I need like 200$ extra now to afford a bike + essentials now that my funds are trapped. It's urgent.
It has come to my attention that more people keep reporting my mutual aid posts, i should redirect you to previous posts as i have been reported before and my instance admins take no action. I do not care if you think it is spam. I do not care if me posting mutual aid upsets you. I do not exist to make you comfortable. My safety comes over your comfort. You must be so privileged to believe that i deserve to deplatformed, that i should be silenced for asking others to help me get help for my desperate situation.
You must be so privileged to have never had to worry about having regular food on your table, to not have to lack basic necessities like transportation or healthcare.
Please be mindful of how your actions affect other people. People who post mutual aid posts are allowed to post them in ways that allow them to reach the maximum amount of people possible. That's the whole point of asking for mutual aid. You do it in a way so that others know of the situation and so they can donate to help.
I dont care of you think i use "too many hashtags" or that i post "too often", if you dont want to see my mutual aid posts you can just mute them or block me, nobody is forcing you to see them or donate to me. Im allowed to post to as many people as i need to in order to better my living condition to a basic standard of living.
I cant even imagine the level of privilege it takes to act this way towards impoverished people. And some of the people who report my posts claim to be "anarchists" as well. Literal hypocrisy. If you claim to be anarchist and you report good-faith mutual aid posts at all, you arent an anarchist, you are a poser pretending to be an anarchist. Real anarchists dont try to deplatform poor people asking others for help. Do better.
And by the way, i can see your reports. My (so very kind) instance admins send your reports to me. I know the kinds of stuff you are saying. I am genuinely so tired of the disrespect i have been receiving.
As ive said before, if you actually want me to stop posting mutual aid posts, then DONATE. Donate to me so i dont have to keep asking you all for money. I literally cannot afford even the most basic of necessities because i lack the money. I ask you all because it is out of desperation. If you want me to stop asking for mutual aid, then please, donate to me like 50$ per individual to speed this up! i dont get many donations and the big ones really do help a lot! i absolutely need the help! please!
Please help me! still need urgent help!!! i cant access my venmo funds so i still dont have enough to afford a bike and food!!! please donate so i can afford transportation and food!!!!! please and thank you!!!!!!
Please donate!!!! i need enough to afford food and a bike and hrt and glasses!!!!! i dont have any income and i live in a neglectful household!!!!!!! please help me get in a better position so i can help myself better, thank you!!!!!!!!!

Jonathan Chait is real mad that leftists aren't taking liberal shit anymore. I got the link from archive.is to avoid giving his BS any extra clicks. It's way longer than it needs to be. This paragraph caught my attention though because it's at least an attempt at clarifying what liberals see as leftism and why they're wrong (which is why they should shut the fuck up, because they have been proven so very fucking wrong, so often, and for so long):
I don’t want to bore you...
lol
by attempting the umpteenth definition of liberalism,
Funny how liberals hate defining liberalism
so I will lay out the distinction as briefly as possible. On economic questions, leftists have an overwhelming bias for state action over markets, while liberals are more selective.
This is incorrect. Leftists differ radically on how much state action over markets is needed. What unites leftists is the belief that we need democracy in economic realms as well as political ones. (I personally don't accept fully authoritarian MLs as leftists, one can debate that, but that's where I stand.) Liberals think it's just fine for us to have democratic politics but for most people to work for institutions that are run as dictatorships.
...On politics, liberals take very seriously notions of individual rights and universally applicable principles, while leftists tend to criticize political liberalism as a recipe for maintaining inequalities of power between the privileged and the oppressed.
Sort of true, but Chait tellingly leaves out the substance of the leftist critique, the reason why they think that political liberalism is a recipe for maintaining inequality, to wit: the lack of democracy in most people's workplaces. If economic power is concentrated while political power is distributed, then inevitably political power will become concentrated as well. Because money is power.
Anyway, Chait hates "Solidarity" the book and he also hates solidarity the concept. Of course he gets paid to represent left-of-center thought at major USA publications. Feel free to discuss your disgust for this type of guy further in replies.
Often when we discuss Solarpunk, particularly as an aesthetic, we tend to focus on lush, green forests and fields. As somebody who grew up in either swampland or desert/Chaparral regions, I tend to view the former vision as a bit...narrow. To me, the powerful vision of Solarpunk is one in which we are united with the diverse Eco-systems of our planet, which can include regions not traditionally thought of or considered.
