Shut Down For Being Migrant, ACT’s Parmar Gets Bipartisan Support
Politicians across party lines have called out a leading academic who has questioned MP Parmjeet Parmar’s authority as a migrant
What’s offensive about being called an immigrant if you are an immigrant? It’s a classic case of shifting the focus and deflecting from the original anti-Māori racism that Parmjeet is advocating for, and this reporting is fueling it.

So Trump’s tariffs is essentially to economically engineer a recession, which is then fertile ground for fascism. Musk is cutting education, professors are being fired for being pro-Palestine, and far right misdirecting blame to trans people to distract. Abusers lash out when they’re losing control

As a snake, I don’t appreciate the western/Christian-centric symbolism of snakes as evil. To me, they symbolise regeneration, rebirth, shedding of old skins, healing, wisdom, and good luck - transformation. #yearofthesnake

Replacing white supremacists with brown supremacists doesn't solve white supremacy.
Replacing white capitalists with brown capitalists doesn't Indigenise the economy.
Replacing US imperialism with Chinese imperialism ISN'T decolonisation.
JFC there's some messy takes going on.
