This is so well said. Are we really ‘one and free?’ Nope.

4 year old stallion Anthony Van Dyck was killed after a catastrophic injury in today's #MelbourneCup, the same injury responsible for nearly 57% of on-track deaths recorded during the 2019-20 racing year.
His deadh wasn't unforseen. Just the cost of doing business.

A public holiday built on pillars of animal cruelty & gambling is no day worth celebrating for me. A day where DV in the home also skyrockets as a direct consequence of gambling. I can’t value a day based on exploiting animals for our entertainment. #MelbourneCup #NupToTheCup

So sorry to hear about the loss of this hero canine.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gwinnett County Police Department as they mourn the loss of one of their own, K9 Blue. K9 Blue was shot in the head and chest by the wanted felon he was tracking earlier today. Please keep Blue's family and the department in your prayers.

A fish rots from the head. Why isn’t Rio Board being held accountable? The decision to proceed to destroy the significant indigenous heritage site in the Pilbara must have been a strategic decision at board level? A %of revenue of Brockman 4 mine should go to traditional owners
The enduring, sad epitaph of this grim period in our history will be: ‘It wasn’t my decision. ‘

Disgraceful. Universities should support freedom of speech, not bullying communists.

The misogyny of the Karen meme disturbs me, too. ‘The Karen meme has become a way of not just describing women’s behaviour, but controlling it. No wonder so many men enjoy it.’ google.com.au/amp/s/amp.theg…
