What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

We have choices to make. Do we invest in our communities and people who live across the country? Or do we provide tax breaks & subsides to billionaires? The Green Party will always push the right choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

we were expecting Andor-style soliloquys but this fucking shit is way better

Kia ora Stuff. Your dehumanising headline serves as propaganda for a government deliberately underfunding & reducing access to services for our most vulnerable, in service of wealthy people. Challenging that erosion should be the story; that it’s not says something about the erosion of our humanity.

Kia ora from Aotearoa New Zealand @deborahmeaden.bsky.social Ciara is asking for an investment of just NZ$25 in return for the chance to win 100% of this fabulous cross stitch piece😉 Would you be kind enough to repost this and see if we can help her out?🙏🏼

ANCAP’s crash tests are proving electric cars to be the safest vehicles in Australia Battery-powered models make up 6 / 7 strongest crash test performers Surprise: highly flammable liquids (petrol and diesel) in ICE are much more likely to catch fire than electric cars thedriven.io/2026/01/16/w...

More numbers!

21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. This story is not getting enough attention.

The chumps in charge Aotearoa New Zealand's energy policy probably think you can crush up the panels and burn them to make electricity. Doing that the only way they'd support them. #nzpol

Blue sky friends! Between 5 and 7 pm today in Aotearoa New Zealand, I'll be playing random 7 inch singles on Paekakariki FM. Listen on the app. Let me know a number between 1 and 100 and I'll play it. #kikorangi play.google.com/store/apps/d...

I mean... this ain't far off 😂

***MOMENTS AGO *** North Minneapolis Munitions were fired at the crowd.

This is really the damning part of this Newsroom story about the rates cap gimmick. They had their performative policy and weren't very interested in being told whether it made sense or not. newsroom.co.nz/2026/01/15/r...

The #nzpol and #kikorangi feeds often follow similar themes, and I have often thought about the fact that a lot of what people want it already being offered, by the @greens.org.nz 🧵

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Only seymour can save us. No. Wait...

Look. What I say to you is this. Business confidence has never been higher. I read that in the Harold so it must be true. My economy is booming. Booming I say! www.stuff.co.nz/business/360...

And Farage claims that proper Brexit has never been done and threatens to rip up any attempts to fix to this barrelling shitshow… FGS, UK. Let’s just admit this epic mistake/con and bin off all those who demanded we screw ourselves over like this.

“Government ministers cannot be making policy announcements in a space that hosts AI-generated, near-naked pictures of young girls. Journalists cannot share their work in a place that systematically promotes white supremacy.“ Relevant to #nzpol and the choices being made by those we place trust in.

Yeah, 1.5C is basically here. We'll just have to live with the consequences of 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 etc until we can't adapt any more. But it's never too late for #climateaction www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’d just like to remind everyone that the first iRex ferry would have just entered service had the coalition not cancelled them purely out of spite for the opposition, Wellington and the South Island.

🔥

honestly reading this thread and thinking about why romance readers run straight at this shit head first no matter how much everyone else says it's hopeless. our brains are literally wired for it.

The UK has declined a US request to help invade Greenland. UK officials have instead met with their counterparts from Germany and France to begin preparations for deploying a defensive force in Greenland. The goal is to protect Greenland from invasion or attacks.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

This is what electing "the party of small government and freedom" looks like.

This chick gets it. youtube.com/shorts/M5JiV...

Get your friends to follow me? I’m on a roll tonight/this morning

An absolute environmental and economic disaster. All deliberate. Keeps us locked in to a high cost, high emissions path with much reduced energy security.

I get all my friends to listen to Brian Ferry on my behalf because I am a great fan of (wait for it) Proxy Music.

The government The opposition Conservatives The 3rd biggest party the Lib Dem’s The Welsh & Scottish parties Are all on X A site where you can now see children in a state of undress. A site where children are sexualised. A site where women,without their consent are sexualised. You are culpable.

My brother’s response to my message about Luxon finally stating that he’s working from home. My brother was a proud National voter last election.

Remember when Donald said he could shoot someone broad daylight and his supporters would still love him? Turns out he meant it literally.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

They like to make you feel like it’s your fault with carbon footprint calculators and recycling schemes but that’s because the world's biggest companies alone have caused $28 trillion in climate damage. financialpost.com/pmn/the-worl...

Labour policy on USA global interventions

Here's the plan: 1) End fossil fuels 2) Invest in renewables 3) Electrify everything 4) Localise and build community 5) Conserve resources 6) Regenerate nature 7) Protect forests and oceans 8) Switch to plant-based organic regenerative farming 9) Protect democracy 10) Decolonise

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Just.Like.This.

The UN is absolutely bollocks. Our ancestors didn't go to war for you to fuck around not trying to hurt other people's feelings when fucken terrorism is occurring and human rights are being removed in front of us.

Don't copy paste an Imperial response like other world "leaders" who are abandoning their independent foreign policy to cuddle up to Trump. Have some moral courage Luxon!

Mamdani is right, neoliberalism is a direct threat to our fragile democracies. Decades of 'user pays' and 'let the market decide and provide' policies have led to starved government structure that can no longer meet our communities' basic needs of shelter, education, health and nourishment for all

It’s election year for New Zealand - please strongly encourage, donate to and vote for this energy👇 Playing it small and safe doesn’t serve our communities of greatest need, and it doesn’t meet this moment when we need more from our leaders, not less. Vote for those who mean it when they say change.
