I have mixed feelings about this ad 😑

Quick reminder that The Dawn Raids only targeted brown people at a time when our largest group of overstayers came from England.

Counties Manukau also has four times the national average of meth in wastewater testing.

Four times.

Also on the rise is MDMA and cocaine.

I was in a meeting today where the Counties Manukau Police stats for January were shared and in the area of family harm related callouts, of which January 2026 was much higher than Jan 2025, a huge amount cite the reason being lack of food. And it just hits so hard. Poverty & deprivation is brutal.

If Zohran Mamdani is the equivalent of being politically rock-hard, this speech is a soft semi 🫠

My gods, this centrist rhetoric reminds me how deeply I am not an ‘average kiwi’.

Coalition has made a fucking dogs dinner of NZ; Labour needs to be hitting so much harder than this; brains… PLEASE…

Greenland says 'no thanks' to Trump US hospital boat Greenland's PM reminded Trump of its free healthcare, after Trump said he was sending a boat to aid people who were allegedly "not being taken care of".

I've explored the ocean's deepest part. Trump wants to destroy it. | Opinion I've been to the Mariana Trench. The choice is clear: Protect one of earth's last frontiers or destroy it before we even understand what we're losing.

Geologist @deepseadawn.bsky.social has been to the deepest place on Earth. Now, Trump wants to mine nearby. To her, "the choice is clear: protect and explore one of Earth’s last frontiers, or destroy it before we even understand what we are losing." tinyurl.com/22ta9fkw

I’m also frustrated that although Auckland welcomes an average of 60k migrants moving here a year & we’re enriched by over 180 ethnicities, it makes me sad to think of how migrants from the Pacific have been treated over multiple generations, and the social-economic realities of our migrant stories.

Yesterday I remembered why my life is full of courageous, game-changing radical thinkers; we lean in & create the world we need to thrive in. The status quo, in so many ways, is unbearably… tired. I don’t want to go to another cultural competency ‘training’ for the environmental sector ever again.
