Top Tweets #InvasionDay

Posted by AMUST Media | 1 Feb, 2021 | #Social | 0 |

    Most the world is not even aware that Australia’s national day is on the date of invasion; the date on which dispossession and genocide began on this continent.

    We can change that, show the world a what Australia is.

    Let’s get #InvasionDay trending.

    Dear World

    On 26 Jan 1788, 11 British ships sailed into what is now called Sydney Harbour to establish a penal colony.

    This was the commencement of genocide against the continent's First Nations.

    Our government insists we celebrate this day. Many of us refuse. #InvasionDay pic.twitter.com/O4CrplqxP6

    I’d love to celebrate the country I live in. But how can we celebrate the good bits when Australia continues to brutalise, disenfranchise and incarcerate Aboriginal people, and destroy their sacred lands?

    It’s a level of mental gymnastics I just don’t understand. #InvasionDay pic.twitter.com/6wLqfrWBkf

    Thousands across Australia protested #InvasionDay, the country's national day marking the start of British colonization.

    Indigenous communities have lived there for over 65,000 years, but face rampant inequality and police abuse.

    Big numbers at the #InvasionDay rally in Sydney, on Gadigal land. Socially distanced groups, masked & checked in. 26 Jan is a Day of Mourning. pic.twitter.com/oYgQfYIQcf

    We don't get to pick and choose when we support First Nation people's self-determination.

    January 26 was declared a Day of Mourning by Aboriginal people in 1938 – that's longer than it has been 'Australia Day'.#InvasionDay #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe pic.twitter.com/gdTRRg9Ri5

    233 years on and the British still haven’t assimilated. #invasionday #alwayswasalwayswillbe

    — Paul Kidd (@paulkidd) January 25, 2021

    Senator @lidia__thorpe says “even after 250 years of genocide, dispossession, denial of existence and rights, destruction of their land and water, Aboriginal people STILL hold for peace. But a war was declared on the people of this land, and that war has not ended” #InvasionDay

    I always March with my niece, nephew and sister the most important people in my life.

    They’ll be the best of us, they’ll continue the fight and make us proud.
