President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

Well this is very nice. Thank you @alexfalcone.bsky.social

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

They are also not taxing your family home (first home) if I was privileged to own 25 homes like some current MPs do….they only get 28% taxed on any profit….they won’t go broke of this

Nelson Hospital's generator failed this week for an hour. Simeon Brown labelled it "unacceptable".

This is the same Simeon who instructed authorities to do "absolute minimum" in works - even though he knows risks incl. equipment failure #nzpol

You know, there’s this pervasive view that people don’t care about climate change / are bored of it / find it overwhelming but I wrote this story this week and social media went crazy over it. People care!!!! They really care are they need a way to channel it www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Climate reporting rules for large businesses to be eased Banks, credit unions, building societies and insurers would still be required to report.

Same fucking day a Civil Defence Emergency is preemptively declared for Canterbury because anthropic caused climate change has intensified our spring storms, the absolute climate criminals in Govt pull this stunt

“The strikers I've spoken to are striking because they are being put into situations that are against their moral code. Unsafe situations from classrooms to emergency departments. They're understaffed and under-resourced, which means they cannot do what they chose their professions to do.”

Why won’t Speaker Johnson swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva? Because she is the last signature needed to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Every teacher I've ever met was worked to the bone and usually going above and beyond to make things happen for their kids. I literally would not describe a single teach I know as either cashed up or well rested like???
