A thread about anti-lockdown silliness today. Trumpist wedding videographer turned conflict reporter Rukshan Fernando was asked to leave the anti-racist rally. He says he was never treated so racistly at pro-covid rallies, although I can recall a number of occasions when people made racist comments about him.

I was having a dream that Craig Kelly and I were going to Iraq, so maybe not sleeping in is a blessing. This will be a thread about today's plague rat event. I would say that organisers did not learn a lot from the previous protest in Melbourne. In a planning meeting earlier this week more time was spent on discussing the 'JQ' (Jewish Question) than on things like marshals etc.

Plague rat protest at The Shrine set to kick off in 15 minutes. This will be a thread about it. They've been building up to this protest for over a month now, but not being able to organise on Facebook has made things difficult (although this does have a 2k+ attending event page).

does this guy have literally any other expression besides gormless bewilderment?
