The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

So, I had my Man vs Bear moment. Let me tell you what might have saved me from being attacked this morning. I was dropping my mom @ShirleyAmiesMom off at the train station at Aldershot at 630am. This man was passing me, locked eyes on me. Fine. What made me pause was /1

Ok this is a bit harrowing but we do need to talk about it. You know this whole “why did the police ignore grooming” thing in the 2000s? Well I was a kid in the 2000s. I was born in 1996. And I want to talk about what society thought about “girls making bad choices” 🧵

I will issue a statement in full in the next few weeks, outlining my current stance regarding AYDC. @RockliffTeam has abused, used, surveilled and gaslit me for years. I have still never been approached by police investigating AYDC staff despite my reports leading to their suspensions in many cases. I will no longer carry what is not mine to carry. The truth matters, very much. I won’t betray confidences of those very very few I trust - but I will not carry secrets or burdens that should NEVER have been put on me, any longer. I am in no way, shape or form going to protect abusers of children; nor abusers of myself and my family (my own children). Whilst I’ve never actively protected the Tasmanian Government (quite the opposite) - I’ve kept a great deal of information to myself in order to allow it to be handled appropriately. Some of this still needs to be kept confidential, in my professional opinion. As in all areas of life - there are a few decent people doing decent things. Some parts, do not and should not, and my silence on them only serves abusers and sharing those facts does not jeopardise any future proceedings. Noting that I have no faith, that these will ever occur - I will never be the person to jeopardise them. This has only ever been the Tasmanian Government and its Statutory bodies, some unions and some individual bad actors and only ever will be. 2025, is for sharing the responsibility, burden and horror put on me by the @RockliffTeam because it was never ever ok to put it on me to fix your unimaginably enormous and catastrophic mess, after trying to destroy me for doing my job. I, am loyal to those children. Not to those who destroyed my families lives and make no efforts to repair the damage done. Eg: We are in the wrong state @jeremyrockliff. I’ve always been respectful, and will continue to be (that is for myself, to know I won’t lose my integrity, not because respect is warranted), but protecting you when you continue to harm me, is over. The children, remain my priority but I’m adding myself to the list. I would appreciate you doing the same and righting some recent and serious wrongs. I never deserved this, for doing what is legally required of me and SO much more. I have helped you, to the ends of the Earth believing it would help the children. I will not be used, nor abused by you again. I will not be hostile, but I will not protect you where protection isn’t warranted or necessary. #politas #auspol @NickFeik @MegWebbTweets @DavidJKillick @abchobart @LeonCompton @sam_ikin @TasmanianTimes @Richard_D_Boyle @WINNews_Tas @C_Frohmader @CassyOConnorMLC @AusHumanRights @humanrightsHRLC @JaquelineOutram @DavidShoebridge @SeanPFord1 ❤️
Most recently, the State approached me for help with these investigations. It’s appalling and makes me feel quite ill knowing who is in the community.

"The images of the kids with the heads torn off, with open abdomens, with mutilated limbs, with burns, at least..." Mads Gilbert You can't say that you didn't see them, right?" The United States should cease funding and supporting Israel inhumanity. This genocide, must end immediately.

Houses are sitting empty in Australia others have been converted to airbnbs public housing has been sold off by both labor and liberal govts while failing to build more. A quarter of Australia’s property investments held by 1% of taxpayers but sure lets blame immigration

'Raging Grace' works best when it is loose and wild and frankly weird, when the writers become “a church of anger, joy, grief, exploration and lust”, writes Fiona Murphy. There are instances of startling specificity. satpa.pe/bRdODi6

Covid: A Brain Damaging Story I believe that in the absence of large scale studies and conducting brain imaging on a mass scale, we have to rely upon ourselves to turn to real world examples we may already be witnessing. Some questions about what you may be seeing… 🧵

I have just been escorted by security from 5 West Trauma Ward @AlfredHealth where both my parents are inpatients. Larissa, the Nurse Unit Manager who is on duty tonight called security because I was there outside of visiting hours. 🧵

Oh my word. I've had a realisation about one of the sliding doors moments in the pandemic. I had a chat with a consultant anaesthetist a couple of months ago when he asked me why I wore an ffp3 mask, and a couple of things he said in reply didn't make sense.

1/ I’ve been wondering a bunch of things about a potential AMOC collapse: "When will it tip?" "What are the most likely effects?" "Can we stop it?" So I looked for answers in the many scientific papers published on this. Here’s a super plain language thread with what I found.🧵
