That I'd rather eat a cold bag of @friendlyjordies' sick than endure his tedious YouTubes notwithstanding, solidarity to the media worker on his team arrested by NSW police in the course of making media.
If you are a media worker or a worker of any kind, consider doing the same.

It's true that @friendlyjordies elected not to join the union for his trade, the @withMEAA. Then again, @withMEAA is pretty fucking slack recruiting and didn't clock @caitoz as a HUGE get when I forced her to come to a meeting.
Either way. This arrest is an issue for our union.

As an optimist with no memory for hypocrisy, I'm always shocked by the refusal of local media to support a Greste but not an Assange or a Whatsit Underpants but not an Assange. Or freedom for a crazed white nationalist politician like Navalny but not a Syndey kid with a camera.
Solidarity is a lot less trouble in the end. You give it even when you don't expect it in return If you support freedom for some, you're an "ally" who wastes time checking that your cause is acceptable to your mates. A comrade wants freedom for each and for all.
If I know the comrades at @AusUnemployment I know that they will give solidarity unconditionally to the worker of the @friendlyjordies franchise arrested by NSW police.
Won't you, @AusUnemployment?
Comrades.
Comrades.
Oh. Cool. Of course they will. @AusUnemployment members are the only fuckers retweeting my whining about this legit union matter.
There you go @friendlyjordies. You can outright lie about a free association of workers, but those comrades stand with you regardless.

OTOH, my audience these days is exclusively the @AusUnemployment membership. Which I really don't mind a bit.
Anyhoo. Don't be picking and choosing a cause for your "allyship." This is how it takes 73 years of massacre for all your fave Progressive Australian Journalists to tweet one thing about Palestine.
Solidarity to the worker arrested at work for working.

Here's to this NSW politician whose support for a media worker silenced by police at work while working is very welcome.
Whatever you think about the shooter's party.
Now. Everyone else. If we could just have a word about a chap called Julian Assange?

Some rather decent words assembled for @friendlyjordies and the arrested worker on his team by young Dean, definitely an @AusUnemployment official and probably the comrade-worker whose weekly podcast I ruined by speaking at him for 8 un-edit-ablr hours.

A true socialist and even a labourist must extend both symbolic and, if possible, material support to every worker under the boot at work, regardless of their future hopes. Fuck allies. @friendlyjordies has comrades, whether he answers my email or not!

Theoretically,.we could "rip" @friendlyjordies 'cos it'd have 0% effect on your election outcome which will in turn have 0% effect on the lives of the many in the nation-state. We won't, 'cos today he's a worker in trouble ergo of 0% concern to the ALP.
