I hope some realise now, that most protesting #genocide weren’t simply ‘choosing a side’. After US & Israel were allowed to level Gaza & kill 37,000+ children with impunity, why not do th same to Tehran? Why be shocked at U.S. War Secretary saying proudly, “we’re punching them while they’re down”?
“It was never meant to be a fair fight…We’re punching them while they’re down”. U.S. War Secretary.
& to remind us all, this coalition Govt decided to be afraid of this bully. Does anyone even remember NZs stance on being nuclear free? taking pride in independent foreign policy? #nzpol #BendTheKnee
I shed no tears for #Khamenei, but I do for the innocent (like those killed in the school bombing), and for the world shaped by Netanyahu & Trump’s “whatcha gonna do about it?” diplomacy.

#Kilkenny always leads to “ #reunification “ & “f**k the monarchy” for some reason #FridayVibes
Talk about ceding sovereignty. First the FBI office, now this… might as well build a Trump tower in Wanaka

So police can ‘fine’ homeless, for being homeless? Have powers to ‘move on’ homeless. But where? Prisons? We are at imprisoning homeless stage of NZs far right transition. #nzpol
When this coalition embraced MAGA, they also embraced #PostTruth I don’t they care about being caught, nor do their supporters. They will literally look down a camera & lie
Winston: we would’ve blocked the bill, if unions only asked.
Workers First Union: ahm, we met with you at least 8 times since 2024 to discuss the bill!
PSA: & we met in August last year!
Winston: As I was saying, if unions only asked on time…

This coalition keeps telling us, ‘facts don’t matter’, & therefore ‘integrity does not matter’ (in the age of disinformation & culture wars). Please read Workers First release:

Something strange is happening in #Ōtepoti Dunedin, some kind of yellow light can be seen protruding through the clouds. Sky colour is changing in parts too. Is this normal? Should we be worried?
I guess the days will be shorter? Less $ on heating when going to bed earlier
ODT said Ōtepoti might have a sunny day on 12 of March
This is why we are where we are
always remember, & remind your friends & family, that Judith Collins once said “Trump is the best president US ever had”.

It’s interesting how ‘we shouldn’t get involved in foreign politics’ people (who criticised anti-genocide protesters), are now experts on international relations, defending US regime attacking & kidnapping foreign leaders, & even defending brown shirts (ICE) murder of civilians…. #nzpol
“Law & order party” is now, “rules don’t apply to us party”. It is ‘others’ that shouldn’t work from home, Luxon can do whatever the fuck he wants. It is also demonstrable in their unconditional support of the autocratic US regime.
number of kiwis who are defending ICE murder of a civilian on talkback ZB & other comment sections is frightening
If you accidentally open the comment section of talkback ZB & stuff (strongly advise against it though), it is depressing how many kiwis defend kidnapping of foreign leaders & cold blooded murder of a civilian by US ICE thugs. The problem isn’t just ‘over there’. It is here too…
We need more sanctions on Russia, I mean, if you speak against Putin you just get taken away! oh, wait…
International law & order are dead. Israel/US killed any false sense of security smaller nations had (under UN). This is a sign of things to come. NZ govt have aligned NZ with Trump & Netanyahu. We need to understand & accept this. We can only apply pressure on the opposition & vote #nzpol
US regime attacking another sovereign country for their resources didn’t shock me. What I’m still sad about is the absence of any meaningful opposition. And how easy it was for NZ media to ignore our government’s alignment with such regime #nzpol
At the rate I’m experiencing passing of time, I’m just leaving the damn tree up… Happy today, everyone
So, Palestinian Christians aren’t innocent?
On this day in 1888, Van Gogh cut off his ear. While this incident marked the turning point in artist’s mental health, it had little influence on others - unlike the partition of #Ireland by the British parliament. Which also happened on this day in 1920, when Government of Ireland Act was passed.
As long as NZ govt maintains our vassal state status to the Trumpist regime, brown shirts like Destiny will only get emboldened with time. I didn’t hear a single journalist ask our PM what is NZs position on ICE raids, troops on streets, & undemocratic consolidation of power by the regime #nzpol
Dunedin’s Dr Robert C Begg led “The New Zealand Legion” in 1930s. A crypto-fascist movement that allegedly had 20,000 members, largely businessmen & ex military conservatives. After legion’s breakup, Begg returned to private life while prominent members & supporters joined the newly formed National
Outlook auto-reply set, check.
Place work phone in a sealed plastic bag & burry it in the backyard, check.
We know this terrorist attack will be used by those who feed divisions & collectivise us into “us & them”, like Netenyahu already has. But do remember Ahmed, who risked his life to save others.
Thoughts with all Jewish & Muslim communities who fear for their safety due to actions of hateful few
#FIFA giving a crypto-fascist a ‘peace prize’, reminds us when Mussolini didn’t use the 1934 world cup hosting for propaganda purposes. It also demonstrates that FIFA isn’t corrupt or about money…
