It's Invasion Day today so let us remember that Australia today was built on colonialism and stolen land. They saw a land that belonged to the Aboriginal community yet declared 'Terra Nullius'. Remember that we still have a long way to go in reparations towards our Indigenous people.

“I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

I’m glad that Derek Chauvin was found guilty, and I hope it brings even the tiniest bit of peace to George Floyd’s family. But please resist the urge to write those lengthy “racism is over” posts and start patting yourselves on the back and talking about this being a unifying moment. Mr. Floyd isn’t a martyr, and true justice wasn’t served. Chauvin is being held accountable and that is not the same thing as justice.
i feel like fascists storming the fucking capitol because they don’t want the majority vote to prevail should tell you exactly what trump supporters believe in. anyone who makes excuses for this behavior or continues to stand behind trump is supporting faciscm. point blank.
