This media line is so fucked because it communicates to the voter that TPM policies are bad without interrogating them. They’ve done it with the Greens for decades too but TPM is the new bad guy. Framing the choice as a controversial one without giving the voter room to assess if they think that.

1200 S2E181 - Cuba and Venezuela

Dr Josephine Varghese and @krkelly.bsky.social chat about her participation at the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference in Havana Cuba, during which the US strike on Venezuela and the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president happened.

Absolutely disgusting from NSW police.

already at the point in election campaign where EVERY SINGLE msm outlet is directly and provably lying to the public in support of the rightwing coalition (on LNG)

this is similar to the late push on Nationals “tax cuts” that definitely helped them win last time, with zero consequences for media

How oil companies made you pay $300m to clean up their oil field mess (and how they are trying to do it again) - Greenpeace Aotearoa How oil companies made you pay $300m to clean up their oil field mess (and how they are trying to do it again)

Historically a defining feature of the fossil fuel industry is that it only survives with govt support and subsidies. We're seeing that with the ordinary NZers paying for the LNG import facility thru an electricity levy, and decommissioning costs of old oil fields www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

FFS Hipkins, just say you'll cancel the gas project no matter what. Don't use IRex to take some illusory moral high ground. Just take a strong 'we'll cancel it' position now, and no company will sign a contract until after the election. Yet again he snatches defeat from the jaws of victory #nzpol

People outside of Canada need to realize Mark Carney has cut thousands of public service jobs and fast tracking neoliberal business and energy sales over Indigenous land and LGBTQ+ rights in the country.

He's paving the way for fascism but getting credit as some brave leader calling out Trump

#Auspol - these are our "shared values" with USA. Thugs in police uniforms who like to beat people under the guise of doing their jobs. @albomp.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social

This will seriously disrupt aid getting into the county. Any country that even wants to pretend to care about Cuba and sovereignty needs to bring jet fuel to Cuba immediately

fuck this framing.

State-ordered racist violence. Intentionally targeted. Intentionally violent. Plain thuggery.

An explicit show of force from the NSW government against peaceful protests - a carry-on from the longstanding racist, Islamophobic attacks against Palestine supporters. All this just to support a genocide

Waking up to videos of horrendous police violence towards anti-genocide protesters in Australia. Yet to see any coverage from media here in Aotearoa 🦗

Solidarity to everyone out on the streets for Palestine ✊

And there's precious little confrontation of govt ministers about NZ's continued silence on the USA's decades-long economic and political interference in countries like Cuba, Venezuela & Iran.

Collins taking selfies with die hard racists in the US govt gets ignored, as do recent statements by Peters, Jones and Seymour that target Māori & migrants.
Also never discussed is NZ’s long alliance with the US military as it carries out mass murder of non-white populations across the globe.

NZ media seem to be following US media in recognising Trump’s hideous racism only when the target is a powerful member of the wealthy elite. Thus they’ll question Luxon about it, but ignore the racism coming from Luxon's govt & ignore NZ & US govt history of upholding racist power structures

RNZ headline saying 'LNG facility expected to save New Zealanders millions'

RNZ uncritically repeating regime propaganda again in their headlines, even though in their own article they say right at the end what a stupid idea it is. This is just absolutely rotten journalism #nzpol

it's not good, but we can hardly expect a bunch of click farmers and shysters to walk a higher road than the major party that's actually in government is

Do not let them deceive you
The ceasefire has not brought safety to Gaza; it has only changed the method of killing
The war has shifted from a loud,direct bombardment to a malicious combination of sporadic killing,a deadly siege, and a planned paralysis.

1/200 S2E180 - 70 Million Litres of Untreated Wastewater

The coalition have heavily signaled 2026 campaign approaches

NZ infrastructure is on its last legs and there’s no overt push to bring that into a national conversation.

Those of us in or close to the trans community have been to the funerals of those we love. And we have wept together for those we have been unable to save on Trans Day of Remembrance. We know the truth - we see it with our own eyes. And, to us, the decision by Wes Streeting to commission a review into suicides which downplayed the scale of these tragedies was unforgivable. His report denied the reality of trans deaths, as Streeting's ban on puberty blockers denied the reality of trans lives.

I’m incredibly grateful to @goodlawproject.bsky.social for uncovering this - not just because the real impact of these bans needs to be known, but I think this is also an important piece of counter-gaslighting

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

@hrw.org may have blocked Omar Shakir & Milena Ansari’s report because it linked Israel’s denial of Palestinians’ right of return to a prosecutable international crime against humanity. So it should, after 77 years of enforcing genocidal mass expulsions.

Both Olsen and Edmunds will absolutely be aware they are manipulating the data here, and I imagine that means RNZ editorial also know and are okay with the regular publication of outright lies to support the current rightwing project in an election year

I’m sorry but I have to push back on this:

They were designed originally to be concentration camps. They have been a hotbed for abuse and neglect since their inception.

This is not unique to Trumps governance, this is the reality of the US immigration system.

A question no Democratic Party official has been able to answer: Given that Bannon says they will deploy ICE to voting locations in November (after *filming themselves* killing Renee Good and Alex Pretti), what do you want to accomplish with more body cameras?
