Immoral

One of the most embarrassing day to be a New Zealander, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day of being a New Zealander under the Luxon government 🤦🏽‍♀️

Watch: Rocket Lab blasts off on hypersonic mission for US Department of War Rocket Lab has launched its latest HASTE rocket from Virginia, deploying a scramjet-powered aircraft in a US hypersonic test mission.

Hey, maybe this is bad. A local company profiting off, and materially contributing to, the national military of a fascist administration should have consequences.

A white female plumber, a Jewish gay man and a Muslim wan walked into a hall....and united a community.

Greens won, SUCK IT Farage. 💚

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.

The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.

Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

What a rare breath of deliciously fresh air. Congratulations Hannah, Zack, everyone involved in defeating Reform's naked xenophobic authoritarianism with authentic humanist hope, not with Starmer's authoritarianism-lite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Turns out actively supporting a genocide loses Labour seats just like it lost Kamala Harris the presidency.

Turns out genocide isn’t a vote winner among the left.

Starmer and Harris response:
“it’s because we didn’t genocide enough”

Congratulations!

Have benefit sanctions actually worked? One economist says no - largely because of a major economic problem.

Quelle fucking surprise 🫠

Amazing how a policy based on a hatred of poor people and vibes doesn't actually work 😒

One in seven New Zealand children living in hardship, new data shows Children only get one chance at childhood - and action is needed now, Claire Achmad says.

This is an absolute disgrace. The disproportionate suffering of Māori and Pacific children and their families is an outcome of deliberate policy choices and an ongoing refusal to confront institutional racism in Aotearoa.

Government deciding whether US should get access to New Zealanders' biometric data Officials are in talks with the US about a new travel deal.

Winston Peters' MFAT has confirmed we are considering the move. What could go wrong with handing it to Trump & Palantir?

Palestinians returning to Gaza from Egypt report being beaten, tortured, and humiliated by Israeli border agents and pressured to collaborate with Israel as informants.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Leilani Munter, y'all.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

It’s an awful thing, that NZ’s highest priority as a privileged nation with the ability to make lives better is instead to make those already in desperate search of safety more unsafe.

Govt to give police powers to 'move on' rough sleepers, Opposition parties say it's 'disgraceful' Breaching a move-on order may lead to a $2000 fine or three months in jail.

Making policy choices that push people onto the street and then criminalise them for being there is fucking evil 😈

Kai Tahu faced so much racist nonsense, racist attack (arson), and major obstruction (ie no NZ bank would let them open an account). I encourage everyone to watch The Negotiators (about Iwi Settlements) put together by the incredible @moanatribe.bsky.social
