We want @urbantruth.bsky.social to be global.
I hope youβll check us out.

I've said it before but I'll say it again- we don't talk enough about how one of the common threads between all of these horrific people is that they actively want poor and non-white people to die and they're doing everything they can to make that happen.

They might want to rule us, but they were elected to SERVE us. They obviously need reminding of that fact. Get them gone.

A graphic with a dark green background displays the text: βPower company profits in 6 months: $1.85 billionβ in large yellow lettering. Below, on a white tornβpaper texture, green text reads: βHowβs your power bill going?β Small fine print at the bottom notes authorisation by Green MP Scott Willis
Meridian, Contact, Mercury and Genesis Energy are reporting record profits. Meanwhile, are your power bills any lower?

Vote Green AoNZ. Their fully costed policies (the only ones available from any political party, btw)WILL work. >80% of kiwis will pay LESS tax,& those who have more than enough will pay a bit more.
Like seriously, if you earn $250k a year, you'll pay $149/week more on tax. Chump change.

Yep. Yikes indeed. But, in completely unrelated news*, let's build a LNG terminal to protect our energy supply..... π

The annual rainfall in Otautahi is approx 650mm (give or take a few mm). Our weatherstation here in Halswell has recorded 334.0 mm since 1 Jan. So we're essentially 8 weeks into the year and had half of our average annual amount. βοΈπ¦π§π§

Hey instead of making NZ more dependent on fossil fuels extracted from a war zone where the US and Israel routinely start bombing people, letβs embrace renewable energy. #SayNoToLNG

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

Above graph showing 65% of voters were labour (centre) or green (left) reform only 28% and the rest nothing.
The electorate has moved. Sideline reactionaries and have a real conversation about status quo v real progress

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:
"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.
And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.

We CAN choose better things in AoNZ. Just like New York and Gorton & Denton. But, like those places, it's going to take effort.
Please, if you want to live in a country that supports and uplifts everyone, become a volunteer.
We deserve better. Let's help make it happen π β

What did the Greens do in the UK?
They TALKED 2 constituents. They LISTENED 2 their concerns. Then they offered SOLUTIONS.
It wasn't about rubbishing the opposition, it was sticking to their message of hope.
Take note @greens.org.nz
Let's do what they did πβ

Will that stop them though? (To be fair, I don't care, they can all get in the bin π)
