These are real humans. Each one was someone else’s world. Each one was no different than us or our children. And we all know no one will ever be held accountable for this war crime. #nzpol

Cuba is in a major blackout now. No country brave enough to stop it. No people powerful enough to pressure their government. Bleak

If we passed Bernie Sanders' 5% wealth tax on billionaires, Musk would still have $792 billion.

Zuckerberg would still have $209 billion.

Bezos would still have $207 billion.

And we would have trillions in revenue, more money in our pockets, and a better healthcare system.

Do you want to be in the 1%???

Great, then be in the 1% of old men over 50 that vote for Te Pati Māori.

Grumpy old men and ignorant young men are literally what is wrong with this country.

Patriarchy, greed and racism are LITERALLY holding Aotearoa hostage.

The dumbest people on earth, ie our current government #nzpol

Feargal is superb. Get him involved in govt.

I’m gutted. I love Jasmine Crockett. She’s a much better fighter imo. & Dems so badly need fighters.

This is so fucked up.

Given the popularity of this, a wealth tax would help them get elected, because the people who aren’t for a wealth tax are never going to vote left bloc anyway….

You have to ask why, given it’s such popular policy, Chris Hipkins won’t go there…? We know why parties on the right won’t, but Labour? You would think this would be a no brainer… maybe Labour needs a leader that pushes policies that reflect the will of the majority & benefit the most people. #nzpol

WE NEED TO DECOUPLE FROM AMERICA & ISRAEL AND FOSSIL FUELS. #nzpol #MassSolarRolloutNow

Woolworths NZ shares half-year results - FMCG Business A disciplined focus on reducing costs and driving operational efficiency has led to 2.8% sales growth and a 22.4% increase in Earnings Before Interest and Tax.

Unemployment is high, wages are stagnant & the cost of living is out of control - and Woolworths NZ reports a huge half-year profit. Not because they charge Kiwis outrageous prices for food, you understand, but because of "a disciplined focus on reducing costs and driving operational efficiency". 😡

'It's proof': New coral evidence clashes with Govt's South Pacific trawling plan Footage identified 350 coral and sponge species on the Lord Howe Rise.

Incredible stuff here from Greenpeace.

This is all the evidence needed.

Bottom trawling HAS to stop.

Go figure.

And more, this applies in EVERY country...

Westminster Voting Intention, sourced from YouGov between one March and three March, features a bar chart highlighting that the Green Party has reached second place for the first time in YouGov polling. Reform UK leads at twenty-three percent, a decrease of one percentage point since twenty-two to twenty-three February. The Green Party follows in second at twenty-one percent, an increase of four percentage points. The Conservative Party and the Labour Party are tied at sixteen percent, with the Conservatives decreasing by two percentage points and Labour also decreasing by two percentage points. The Liberal Democrats are at fourteen percent, showing no change since the previous poll.

🚨| This is NOT a drill, Greens are in SECOND place with YouGov, their highest ever vote share recorded with any pollster

The Greens have replaced Labour.

I know uk & nz politics are very different but this is still a warning to NZ labour even if it manages to win the next election and just carries on with watered down austerity & centrist incrementalism without meaningful change #nzpol

One of my standing notions is the idea that the best thing for the (NZ) Labour party, something that could possibly cause them to focus their minds, would be the (NZ) Greens polling at 20%

But I never would have guessed it would be the Limeys who'd get to test the theory first

Also the modelling on the impact of solar and batteries on the market and network was withheld under the “proactive release“ grounds. In November. You’ll note it’s now March

This really ought to be terrifying. We literally have people making decisions to drop bombs in the grips of apocalyptic fantasies.

BREAKING
It’s been revealed that the Luxon government ‘kicked the tyres’ on game-changing solar subsidies to cut power bills but decided to let us keep paying rising prices - and then to make it even worse with costly gas imports:

Way to show girls and women - yet again - that their trauma means nothing and they may as well not bother trying to get justice.

Thank you, sir—Australia offers our unqualified, pre-emptive support for any pre-emptive strikes which post-empt any pre-emptive strikes you were unable to pre-empt.

Melania Trump is chairing a UN Security Council meeting.

I'm not joking.

The US currently holds the presidency of the council and that's who Trump chose as chair.

Taking this off the books means it will likely never be recouped for public good and probably one of their mates already had it earmarked before the election. Nats looting the country to pay for landlord tax cuts.

Really pleased we're spending a billion dollars for a secure cheap LNG terminal rather than renewables #nzpol

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
