Another trope I've heard a couple of times recently is that "the Greens used to be the party of environmentalism ...and they should go back to being just that"

...despite the fact we've more than doubled our number of MPs in that time 🤔

Luxon's invite to Trump's Board of Peace for Gaza needs 'measured look' - Winston Peters Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters says advice from his ministry is being prepared "as we speak".

Anyone whose reaction isn't "go fuck yourself!" has something wrong with them www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Literally thinking about this in the NZ context today, why is it always "the Greens should try to appeal to dairy farmers and people who drive Humvees" and not "NZ First should try to appeal to people who went to university and believe in human rights"

#NZpol And some of our politicians had this guy over to install a local office…

So assisting a woman to get up from the ground is now inciting terrorism?

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

If your political policies and choices result in death, then you can fuck all the way off with this kind of bullshit

KiwiSaver withdrawals surge in 2025 Providers say there's no sign of the rate slowing.

Luxon, alongside Winston Peters and David Seymour, the unholy trinity, did not and will not fix the basics. They’ve demonstrably made things worse.

“Inland Revenue data shows there were 58,460 withdrawals for hardship reasons in 2025, 10,000 more than were made for a first home”. #nzpol

You politicised climate change CERF to general spending - fuckin' whoops Nicola! #NZPol

This is a gov minister in our current 3rd highest polling party, denying climate change,. and trashing WHO

Its obvious to anyone who isnt a moron that climate change is having a vast impact on our security jobs and productivity

Shame Jones is a paid shill working for fossil companies

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten...

#RIP_Alex 💔

It's extremely normal when your local media is doing a "Identify the gas canister the federal governments militia threw at you" piece.

‘Total beat-up’: Justice Minister ‘happy’ with retail crime taskforce after three members quit Retail NZ's CEO left the taskforce after her relationship with chair Sunny Kaushal soured.

Hoo-boy. Goldsmith has certainly made a choice here. Siding with Sunny Kaushal against the chief executive of Retail NZ – when all but one other member of his retail crime advisory group has now quit – could go very wrong. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/justice-m...

The right wing exremist network that produced David Seymour. Roger Douglas and Ruth Richardson are also members and were mentors ar the Canadian think tank, the Frontier Centre, that Seymour worked for ... NZ needs to pay attention to the Nazis here wrecking our Govt - NZ Initiative, TPU are Atlas

Shenanigans always going on in dog households

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt marginally distances Trump from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling a little heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine.

Don’t fall for it.

Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

Watching those videos, realizing that if they can kill people in broad daylight, with cameras everywhere, and face zero consequences..what are they doing behind closed doors? Look at my own govt and the reckless self centered decisions they're making, and wonder...

A LinkedIn post from my profile, reading: “It's a very simple equation, really: Science communication needs to be accurate, it needs to be authentic, and it needs to be transparent. If you're not doing it that way, you're not doing science communication at all. In addition, *good* science communication is inclusive, it's ethical, it's sustainable. If you're not heeding these things, you're not doing science communication right. Which is why I am profoundly shocked by ostensibly reasonable people promoting the use of chatbots for science communication. Their use decreases factual accuracy. It decreases transparency. It decreases authenticity. Those things are true regardless of *which* chatbot you're using and regardless of *how* you're using it. Plus, the tech is not sustainable, not inclusive, not ethical. The promotion and use of Al chatbots is already damaging science communication and, if taken to the extreme, will be capable of quickly destroying it. Not through the rise of evil Al, but through ignorance on part of the users, rapidly destroying the trust that science communicators have been able to build over decades. Everything I will ever publish will be written by humans, and by humans only. If science communication goes the way of the robots, it will go there without me.”

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

6 months ago, a quick glance at the photo, and my brain would have said Russia, North Korea, but now.... USA.

Amanda Gorman pays tribute to Alex Pretti, a patriotic American murdered by fascist ICE on January 24th 2026

“Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within.”

“Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience.”

Lebanon recorded 2,036 Israeli ceasefire violations in the last three months of 2025 and filed a complaint with the UN, citing breaches of its sovereignty, a Security Council resolution and the November 2024 ceasefire.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

#Minneapolis

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

Slash, storms and the fight over responsibility Extreme weather may be the trigger for deadly and devastating slash, but the lines on who is responsible for prevention and clean-up are blurred.

“Slash, storms and the fight over responsibility”

Forestry companies want to do this to communities and face no consequences, it’s fixable at source but they don’t want to spend the money on the fix or the clean up. NZ’s problem is a government on the side of the Forestry companies not NZ. #nzpol

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse

if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

Peters has always been in it for one person alone: Winston Peters. He seeks power solely for the sake of wielding it according to whatever whim prevails in the moment. He has occupied a unique and decisive place in #NZpol precisely because of, not in spite of, his absolute lack of principles.
