Christopher Luxon open to adopting some of NZ First's 'anti-woke' proposals New Zealand First has proposed legislation it says will end "woke left-wing social engineering and diversity targets" in the public sector.

For fucks sake

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

A poster with an illustration of a transgender person hitting Destiny Church's logo with a hammer. Text reads: Defying Destiny: Day of Queer Power. Doctor Emmy Rākete, Chloe Swarbrick, Rev. Mua Strickson-Pua. Sunday 23rd Feb, 2pm, Albert Park Rotunda. These queers bash back.

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet.

PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.

A joke about Cabinet appointees and their disqualifying traits that substitutes “a junkie” for RFK Jr.

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

When will the guardian stop platforming such transphobic shit?

Israel's cheerleaders are gratuitously lying about the collapsing ceasefire.

Israel always saw the ceasefire as a temporary ruse, and has systematically violated it.

Ignore the lies. This is the truth 👇

Really amazing piece on the loss of friendships and communities in the ableism that is the world 'moving on' from covid 🩵

Thank you so much for writing this! It made me feel less alone ❤️

Reminder that substack loves nazis ❤️

Pro tip: Wearing a mask is a powerful protest tool that visually communicates the reckless denial of anti-vaxxers, fossil fuel shills etc.

Wearing a mask at a protest is also praxis. Not only are you protesting those who will spread harm, you are actively stopping it yourself.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

"bioeconomy"????

Crown Research Institutes to merge into three mega science groups NIWA, GNS, ESR and numerous other bodies are set to be pulled together.

What in the neoliberal hellscape is this

Israel released 90 hostages in Gaza then took 90 new hostages in the West Bank. This is what Israel does and this is the vile colonial violence it’s founded on, beyond any kind of reform

Keen to get off insta/fb/whatsapp now that meta is extra fucked - where we going for alternatives other than here?

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"

Historians: "that's a nazi salute"

Average person: "that's a nazi salute"

The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

You spend years platforming and agreeing with Nazis and the next thing you know people are not charitably interpreting a hand gesture

You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public.

He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore.

Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

Three tweets from Clean Air Club an hour ago Is now a good time to mention that last month over 25 Los Angeles schools rejected our offers of completely free air purifiers for every single classroom on their campuses? There's a widespread hostility to anyone offering solutions at the intersection of climate change, pandemics, and resource depletion. It was wild to get replies along the lines of "don't contact us ever again" when we were literally offering tens of thousands in free gear When you try to solve a problem that most people are in denial about, you're going to encounter hostility and gaslighting instead of enthusiasm and solidarity

Goddamn.

It's critical that governments get PERMANENT year-round free N95 mask programs in place. Waiting until a wildfire or an outbreak to distribute free masks is too late. People need to have access to the tools that will protect them in advance of being exposed to the threat.

Now that you’ve seen Meta go full mask-off, lets remember that Substack has the same agenda.

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.

This is a great roundup of all the (nz) govt submissions due in the next week or two! All very important!

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.

Wtf

Everyone remember
