I haven't seen this many media people marching forward in lockstep to downplay the accomplishments of a man since Mamdani hit the scene.

You know why you join international institutions & security coalitions even if you don’t get anything from them for years & even if you pay more than others?

So, when you need them they show up.

You don’t spend your time insulting your oldest allies, then you ask them for help.

All Tamatha Paul said, to be derided by Luxon as being "in La La Land" and being "stupid" by Hipkins – was that SOME PEOPLE feel less safe with more police around.

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

Is OBAA as radical as The Voice of Hind Rajab’s director Kaouther Ben Hania’s speech in Berlin where she refused the ‘peace award’? It’s almost as if there are greater stakes for some people making art due to the inequities of this world.

"Oh you spoiled children want a painless war" no what we wanted was NO WAR. You fucks have no right to be conducting this war! It's illegal and unconstitutional and no one wanted it! Our government is fully broken! How dare you lecture us as though you have any legitimacy whatsoever!

I will be the millionth person to point out that Iran wasn’t threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz before the U.S. and Israel launched this operation in the first place.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.
