Remember the old rightwing argument that all we needed to do was put a price on climate emissions and let the market do its thing? Well the necessary step was for the Govt to put a price on emissions. The current far right NZ Govt just announced it will never put a price on emissions.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

England football regulator David Kogan says blocking club owners over human rights concerns 'not in our remit' "What we're absolutely focused on is financial stability and solidity and that's my remit and that is the remit I have to stick to," says David Kogan.

So, human rights abuses are fine as long as the books balance? 🤦‍♂️💰

England’s new football regulator says he can’t stop owners accused of torture or repression because his job is just “financial stability.”

The moral goalposts have vanished ⚽🔥

We cant trust Trump or Netanyahu. But want Gaza for their own purposes. Jared Kushner is involved in the peace talks. He was the first public figure to describe Gaza as “ great real estate”. These are people with ZERO compassion

Gaza’s blockade is not a temporary measure awaiting resolution; it is the resolution itself From intercepted flotillas to bombed bakeries, the blockade is a strategy of annihilation and the international order fiddles

Thank you for expressing this feeling so well.

The thing about grief is that you eventually return to ‘normal life,’ but still feel so far from your ‘normal self.’

It’s a terrible feeling. Wanting to be present and enjoy the moment, yet feeling unable to.

🧵Thoughts on Polanski speech: his pledge to "end rip off Britain" is closest to chiming with public mood on the cost of living of leaders speeches yet. The sense essentials, let alone treats are unaffordable & govt is unable/unwilling to tackle it epitomises broken Britain mood

How about supporting these amazing poets & buying this anthology of their astonishing poetry wherever u get books?Imagine what they tell us of the human spirit that they put pen to paper under bombardment,displacement, loss of beloveds—being made to live in tents as they are set on fire or starved.

More extreme than ever: Tommy Robinson reveals his antisemitic views in latest online rant – HOPE not hate Tommy Robinson has published his most extreme antisemitic and racist article ever in which he asks ‘The Jewish Question’ and adopts racist pseudoscience.

The people that can't wait to weaponise the tragedy in Manchester, pretend to care about Jews. Behind closed doors, they have the same attitude to Judaism as their predecessors in 1930s Germany.

YouTube video by TRT World Now Why Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla is illegal

Human rights lawyer Munir Nuseibah explains the legal violations of Israel’s interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla

While Israel has illegally kidnapped and intercepted dozens of the Flotilla vessels, a single ship (the Mikeno) has broken through the illegal blockade and is reaching Gaza's shores!

Feels like a historic moment where humanity risked everything to do what their cowardly governments wouldn't
