The bombing made the news in Melbourne/Naarm this week, but nothing about Adrianna Smith. As Always it is all about the tariffs which is just shameful.

It barely makes mainstream news here. The NYT had dozens of articles about every person the new pope ever met and is now breathlessly covering the book about Biden’s mental decline. But there’s almost no coverage of women’s lives and healthcare or the devastation of medical research. They keep saying Harvard was stripped of funding when it is biomedical and scientific research at Harvard (& Columbia, Northwestern, etc) that is being shut down. Public radio covered Smith’s story but I haven’t seen it elsewhere except here.

If I see another article about this pope or any pope being praised for their “liberalness”, I’m going to puke. Doing bare minimum virtue signaling (PR), but never actually working to change anything doesn’t deserve any praise. Their position on women and the queer community will never change.

Oh we were never full human beings capable of making informed decisions about our lives to them.
