  1. What is driving racism, hate and violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?

    * "The Voice campaign...brought racism many First Nations people experience daily to the fore."

    A parliamentary inquiry "follows several violent incidents, including the attack on Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne in August 2025 (and importantly, a new attack on August 2 2026), and the alleged attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally in Perth."

    "At public hearings around the country, First Nations people and organisations have described racism in workplaces, schools, public institutions and online. They have also warned racist abuse is becoming more open, more organised and easier to spread."

    "...Political campaigns don’t just reflect existing prejudice. They can create moments when hostile ideas become easier to express, repeat and share.Around Anzac Day and the March for Australia, more than 96% of the hate detected directly targeted First Nations identity. White supremacist claims (that is, posts implying or explicitly asserting the superiority of White, settler or European Australians) and dehumanising language made up almost 90% of the total hateful posts.Around March for Australia alone, white supremacy accounted for 69% of detected hate."

    "The findings show something important: online hate follows recognisable patterns. It builds around political campaigns, public controversies and events connected with national identity."

    "The parliamentary inquiry now has an opportunity to move from recognising the problem to acting on the evidence. " >>

  12. [en] Disinformation research: politically driven collapse in communication

    Following the 2024 U.S. election academic communication about #disinformation research collapsed.

    "In recent years, #academic #research has become a target of political #hostility."

    "... #political pressure from the U.S. #government has produced a measurable #chilling effect on academic institutions working on disinformation-related studies, visible in their public posting activity."

    The US *#health* secretary, RFKJr, has fired a top scientist at the National Institutes of #Health (NIH) just 3 weeks after she had filed a whistleblower complaint against the Trump admin relating to its hostility towards vaccines, according to a report.

  16. A quotation from Cicero

    And I am not against peace, but I dread war camouflaged as peace. Therefore, if we wish to enjoy peace, we must wage war; if we fail to wage war, we shall never enjoy peace.
     
    [Nec ego pacem nolo, sed pacis nomine bellum involutum reformido. Qua re si pace frui volumus, bellum gerendum est; si bellum omittimus, pace numquam fruemur.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 7, ch. 6 / sec. 19 (7.6/7.19) (43-01 BC) [tr. Manuwald (2007)]

  17. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    It is useless to try to adjudicate a long-standing animosity by asking who started it or who is the most wrong. The only sufficient answer is to give up the animosity and try forgiveness, to try to love our enemies and to talk to them and (if we pray) to pray for them. If we can’t do any of that, then we must begin again by trying to imagine our enemies’ children who, like our children, are in mortal danger because of enmity that they did not cause.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Essay (2003-02-09), “A Citizen’s Response,” sec. 4, Citizenship Papers (2003)

  18. According to Pat Pilkington of the Guardian, “Federal judges are discussing a proposal that would shift the armed security personnel responsible for their safety away from the Department of Justice (DoJ) and under their own control, as fears mount that the Trump administration is failing to protect them from a rising tide of hostility.”

  19. It was exactly what South Africans had been dreading, especially after #Trump's televised #hostility towards Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr #Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year made headlines around the world.

    The US admin has repeatedly slammed #Pretoria for what it FALSELY claims is the systematic persecution of #white #Afrikaner farmers – & the South African side has repeatedly tried to correct Washington. To no avail.

  21. In another sign of the #Trump admin’s #hostility toward the broadcaster, the federal building in Washington that houses the #media organization was put up for sale on Thurs.

    Michael Abramowitz, the director of #VoiceOfAmerica, said in an email to his staff on Thurs that the #firings were “inexplicable.”

    “I am heartbroken,” he said. Abramowitz has sued to stop the Trump admin from closing the #news organization.

  24. Animosity gets you further, than any other type of #violence ever could.
    Stronger than #sadism, #brutality and #contempt, #hostility cannot describe the nature of #disgust that #anonymous #rage, which is what animosity is, can do.

PsyPost: Hostile tweets linked to upbringing and legal troubles, study finds. “By linking official government records to the online activity of Danish Twitter users, the researchers found that individuals with numerous criminal verdicts, more time spent in foster care, better performance in primary school, and higher childhood socioeconomic status tended to be more hostile in their social […]

  27. Editorial: A #president just #disrespected America in the #OvalOffice. It wasn’t #Zelensky

    It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The #American people have not, and they should speak up.

    In the past several weeks, the U.S. leadership has demonstrated explicit #hostility towards Ukraine and aligned its #rhetoric and policy with Russia.

  28. @weebdeluxe Believe me, many of us aren’t happy about it. Thirty years ago, we bought our home on a street three doors away from a bus arterial which started to diminish 10 years ago. Now past retirement age, with limited mobility, I’d planned to ride the bus to my gym in the neighborhood center (and used to when I could walk better). Recent signage has removed the county bus line. With my EV it’s difficult to park near the gym, even with disabled permit.

  30. @TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.

    Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.

    There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).

    That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.

    The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:

    ― a better community, for everyone.

    Food for thought, <forums.truenas.com/>:

    ― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.

  35. #Trump has been vague about which parts of #Biden’s programs he would seek to throttle or alter—but not about his #hostility to the #climate agenda.

    “All of the trillions…that are…not yet spent, we will redirect…for…projects like roads, bridges, dams & we will not allow it to be spent on meaningless Green New Scam ideas,” Trump said during his speech at the #RNC, vastly *overstating* [lying about] the amt of money Biden’s agencies have yet to disburse.
