1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths

2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

YouTube surreptitiously deleted all these videos in early October by wiping the accounts that posted them from its website, along with their channels’ archives. The accounts belonged to three prominent Palestinian human rights groups

Sorry to come crashing in with a spicy take but I've been out of town all weekend: are we really getting miffed that a good leftwing dude is choosing to run in the electorate he (I assume) lives in?

I fucking HATE "Wellington Bays"

Bring back Rongotai.

Can I just point out that these warnings are far, far from empty alarmism. Look at the states. Repro rights orgs started warning people years ago as the antis chipped away at our rights until finally Roe v Wade fell. We can’t let it happen here. We need a new govt. #nzpol

watching the puberty blocker reaction on facebook - it's crucial to have messages there from health professionals and other experts, because that's where normie folks are

but the cookers are all there too in their closed groups, so every crucial post is immediately comment bombed

not ideal

same with Ardern - international media outlets do an innocuous post about a JA interview, and immediately get floods of disgusting comments from folks in Mosgiel or Hastings or wherever

presumably these posts are shared into the closed groups as hate opportunities, and the flying monkeys go to work

Bashford Antiques getting worse.

It finally happened!! They are real!!! 🫨

Ukrainians getting the Palestinian treatment

This should be a sign to run, not write a fake tabloid article about how dreamy your love story is

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023.

Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

"No-one in history has ever shat their pants as much as much as I did, it's actually really impressive."

As ever, I know American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug and nobody is immune but I have a simple question for everyone who piously cants "There is no place in America for political violence."

WHAT THE FORKING SHIRTBALLS DO YOU THINK YOU CELEBRATE EVERY JULY 4TH?

Reminder to Wellington folks that this is on TODAY at 2pm, Te Aro Park.

I’ll be there, as will many others who are outraged by the government’s anti-science, anti-medicine decision to ban puberty blocks for trans kids.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

National policy process underfund something important. Then announce bold new targets if it makes the news cycle. Then fudge the stats by messing with the measures.

Coalition lauds 38,000 fewer victims of violent crime A new survey reports 38,000 fewer victims of serious violent crime.

RNZ Anneke Smith article is a National Party PR puff piece. Where is opposition comment?

“Coalition lauds 38k fewer victims of violent crime.”

When Luxon came into Govt they changed victimisation stats removing domestic & MH call-outs.

No one truly believes crime is down here do they? #nzpol

If they don't record it (e.g. family violence), they can't count it. Easy.

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent Analysis: The government's ban on puberty blockers for gender-affirming care prioritises politics and ideology over decades of expert clinical guidance and patient safety evidence.

Good to see some reporting on this.
Spread it far and wide, folks.

No wonder Minister Collins has moved to Repeal the Plain Language Act, and NZ Government is sidelining its #Accessibility Charter. NZ Govt wants to Hide Information!

I can't read a QR code. 20% of NZers are digitally excluded and with the telcos dropping 3G network phones that %ge may grow.

When we take our government and country back from the fascists, every single one of these thugs must answer, in court, for the crimes they are currently committing. Hold them all accountable.

“Would it help to talk about him?”

No. What helps is if I just pretend he is still alive and I just haven’t spoken to him or seen him in a while which was normal for us. So I’m gonna go ahead and do that.
