YouTube video by J. Draper How We Beat The Fascists Last Time: The London History Show

Did you know David Bowie and Eric Clapton spoke out in support of fascism??

I sure didn’t!

What an jnteresting and well researched video highlighting that there are always people to stand up to fascists, and remind us to stand strong πŸ’ͺ

Say no to poison porridge - sign the open letter The Luxon Govt aims to allow 100 times more glyphosate residue on our food and fast-track more toxic agrichemicals into our food system. Say no to poison porridge. Sign the open letter now.

Don’t really want the government to allow more glyphosate residue in crops we consume, knowing it likely increases the risk of cancer.

If you feel the same, join me in signing Greenpeace’s open letter to the govt.

Sign the Petition Citizens Initiative NZ - Our Voices, Our Democracy

On this day of valid and widespread strike action, it makes sense to share and support this Citizen’s Initiative ensuring our collective voice is taken seriously!

Is it too hard to understand the strikes are for fair pay and working conditions?!?!?!

Paythat keeps up with our increasing inflation.

Ending the political assault on working conditions, understaffing and overburdening.

Simple.

Strikers' demands 'a mystery', government's top negotiator says The Public Service Commissioner says it's regrettable major strike action is going ahead, because he's always been available to negotiate.

What an idiot, of course it’s fucking political.

Are you even suitable for the job if you cant tell what it is going on?

I think not.

If Luxon was any sort of leader he would string Judith and Simeon out to dry for their deceitful work to derail the truth.

Strikes are happening as a last resort, because the government won’t listen, won’t do anything more than their agenda of austerity.

Teachers, doctors and health workers are striking this week because the government keeps failing to offer better conditions AND wages that keep up with inflation.

Conditions that mean they are safe at work, can do their best for students and patients, rather than the $12 billion on helicopters.

BREAKING: Judith Collins' Dirty Politics Before Mega-Strike The senior National Party Cabinet Minister has penned an "Open letter to the people of New Zealand" on the New Zealand Government's official website

An open letter to those who would take the words of Dirty Politics Star at face value….

Thank you @mountaintui.bsky.social for raising the alarm on this blatant misinformation from the GOVERNMENT.

Simeon Brown accuses doctors of crossing 'ethical line' with mega strike There were audible cries of disbelief during Simeon Brown's speech to senior doctors.

What I would say to you, Simeon, is that the health system should NEVER be underfunded or under resourced in the first place, that is all on YOU.

The only people to cross an ethical threshold are you and your colleagues.

Scientists fear weaker methane target signals wider retreat from climate action After cutting methane targets, New Zealand has a choice: shoulder the burden at huge cost - or cause more warming to the planet.

The coalition of chaos never announces anything good on Sunday - is dubious about yesterday’s announcement, and lo and behold there is little rhyme or reason except to placate their voting base.

Running our futures yet again 😀

Nicola Willis promised affordable tax cuts and zero borrowings - OR she would resign.

Instead, Willis borrowed $12,000 million i.e. $12 billion & has created another $8 billion hole in the budget. She's now down $20 billion and counting #nzpol #kiwi

Still blaming the last government without accounting for the pandemic…. C’mon Nicola, your best bud Chris said you’ve got this.

You are borrowing and spending more while cutting services. That’s the truth.

It grinds me that RNZ says All hostages, when they are only referring to Israeli Hostages.

Israel holds 10,000 Palestinians.

They need to be released too.

Israel, Hamas sign off first part of Gaza deal, Trump and Qatar say Israel and Hamas have signed off on the first phase of the US-proposed Gaza deal, allowing for the release of all Israeli hostages, US President Donald Trump has announced.

Relieved to see some positive movement, but unsure this means the release of ALL Palestinians held hostage/held illegally in Israel.

Luxon has NO REASON to not recognise Palestine once the hostages are returned, not that they currently have one.

NZ flotilla members arrive in Jordan, state news agency says The father one of the three New Zealanders held by Israel told RNZ they were among the last to leave detention.

BIG relief Rana, Youssef and Sam are out of Israel, hoping they are ok after the ordeal of being illegally arrested and held captive.

This would not have happened if Israel honoured the International rules based order.
