An RAF surveillance drone spent 13 hours over Lebanon on 8 April, overlapping with Israeli strikes that killed over 250 people, raising questions about Britain’s role. The UK has offered no clear explanation. Read more: aoav.org.uk/2026/uk-surv...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "American families are raising children now, in an economy where both parents work to make ends meet and child care costs rival rent, in a country with no national paid leave and in a digital world they cannot control," Hillary Clinton writes.

I imagine it takes a LOT of frustration for rank and file soldiers to openly say the Pentagon is lying.

It’s also crystal clear how the US behaves when another country has a resource they want. Add this to the vast list of reasons that NZ’s upcoming election is the most critical in our history.

Directly next to the Surprise, AZ warehouse recently purchased by DHS which they plan to refit into an IcE concentration camp sits another warehouse operated by Rinchem Company LLC. This 123,516 square foot facility is a hazardous chemical waste storage site.

What do you call it when reforms look like a tick list of 'what to avoid' from NZAS? Perhaps something like 'prioritising extraction and capability destruction'? The same results are occurring in many places around the world. Only the methods differ based on local polities. #NZPOL

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... Green's MP Kahurangi Carter's parody and satire bill's being debated in parliament. This bill amends the Copyright Act 1994. Protecting the right to take the piss! #NzPol #Cartoon #Caricature

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

We are a major city in a developed country. All good. If you live in Hillsborough, Mt Roskill, Royal Oak and Three Kings, you may want to read this. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...

A general with 36 years of service. Gone. By phone. Mid-war. No transition. The replacement's primary credential? A phone call on inauguration night. Trump called him "central casting." That's who's running your Army now. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

Meet Tim. Tim is full of sh*t. Tim thinks firefighters run into a scene without assessing it first. Tim's govt is withholding the funds FENZ needs. Tim's govt is forcing FENZ to make savings by firing staff. Don't be like Tim. [yes, FENZ has serious management issues too]

She's a great cartoonist

There has been shockingly little coverage of the American regime’s demands for access to personal data on New Zealanders. MPs need to be tabling written PQs and demanding information in question time.

That's awesome. I enjoy watching PBS documentaries such as Frontline, NOVA, Nature, etc. He can't handle the truth, especially the ones criticizing him and his corrupted administration.

It is crazy how few people know this: Russia now occupies less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion four years ago

Rats roaming around #Auckland public hospitals #NZ. National's underfunding of public health while shovelling money to fancy private facilities is sickening

Nothing says peek hypocrisy quite like racist dog murderer Kristi Noem asking for prayers after husband is exposed for dressing in women’s clothing on many occasions whilst she advocates harm against all LGBTQ+ people. I won’t ever waste any prayers on a dreadful person like her.

The PM believes he's penned a "column". It is, in fact, a random collection of bullet points, and some really bad, and banal ones at that. E.g., the opening one: "The war in the Middle East is impacting New Zealand." No shit Sherlock. www.times.co.nz/business/lux... #nzpol

I can't believe National or ACT have the removal of fishing boat camera footage from the OIA in their coalition agreement, so that bit of the bill needs to go too.

Massive attacks tonight on central Isfahan, a sacred and stunning city in Iran of 2.3 million people. The city is on fire. The deaths and damage will be catastrophic. It would be like someone blowing up the Vatican, for comparison. May those responsible burn in hell. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

🎨 “A Throne Fit for a King” is the latest sculpture on our National Mall befitting the racist slob in our White House. Support the arts, good people. They will be around long after our one-man national nightmare is over. (The artists who placed it there are anonymous.)

Every political cartoonist in the world is currently bashing their desks in frustration.

Appalling coverage of #NZcricket on TVNZ 1News, focussing only on #BlackCaps (who lost against South Africa) with No mention of #WhiteFerns (who won against South Africa!). #WomenInSport #SexismInSport #SexismOnTV 🏏🤾‍♀️ www.1news.co.nz/sport/cricket/

Beneficiary numbers have soared to a 12-year high, under a National government that promised a reduction. They were the highest both by volume and percentage of the working-age population since at least the 2013 welfare reforms. #backontrack #nzpol

Simon Watts was already told in December that his Local Water Done Well is AT LEAST $9 billion more expensive than 3 Waters They were also warned by multiple credit rating agencies that repealing 3 Waters would hike rates and credit costs

Wait, so Chris Bishop is "fast-tracking" Lake Onslow Hydro project? The one they cancelled in Dec 2023, rubbishing it after Labour started the renewables project National threw away $20m to cancel this & now they're "fast-tracking" it? This is near comedy and 100% farce

Qatar is about to cut helium exports which is used for chip production. China has been studying US tactical & operational responses to Iran and considering invading Taiwan. Taiwan makes 90% of the world’s high end chips. You want to talk about potential devastation, that’d be it

Trump and Netanyahu launch illegal war of aggression, killing thousands of civilians. Rocket Lab: how can we help? www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/rocket-la...

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters. Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“They weren’t in June either.”

A government so broken, fiscally & morally, that it will shave off public services here, there, and everywhere. People in Aotearoa need to understand that a vote for National, ACT, and NZ First is a vote against their own health & safety, not just on the personal care front, but environmental too.

We greatly appreciate RNZ continuing to spotlight our Covid problem. Like your quoted experts, ACA supports vaccination. We advocate for extending eligibility for boosters for under 30s, as well as prompt and adequate self-isolation and convalescence. However... www.rnz.co.nz/life/wellbei...

Abortion Law Reform in Aotearoa New Zealand! Six years ago, women no longer had to jump through hoops & ask permission to get an #abortion before 20 weeks. The fight to keep our right to bodily autonomy is never over. If re-elected, this #antichoice govt will attack abortion access. #nzpol #NZ

Back at West Auckland Resource Centre volunteering today and an NZ fashion designer dropped 7 boxes of offcuts, buttons and knick knacks off and I forgot to take a photo. Such a great community resource arcnz.org.nz 🧵🪡🇳🇿

This is absolutely genius! Invoice the PM for women’s lost wages www.stillmindingthegap.nz

this definitely appears to be validated by the person currently co-playing as PM of NZ ... #nzpol

Apparently* Damien Grant is dissing Aotearoa's Covid response in Stuff today on behalf of his sponsors, and he somehow decided Sweden spent zero money on theirs. It spend THE SAME AS NZ BUT LOST 20,000 EXTRA LIVES. Thanks Stuff for printing more ace punditry. *Not reading - rather eat my own sick

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.) Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it. On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.

New doc: A letter Epstein appears to have sent from jail to Larry Nassar referencing "our president." "Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Robin Williams once said "Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like Nascar drivers, then we know who owns them." It’s no joke though.

BOMBSHELL: Trump Accuser Got Payoff from Jeffrey Epstein Estate! Today Epstein's former accountant Richard Kahn testified under oath to Congress that a Trump accuser “was given a settlement” by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. So Epstein helped Trump cover up crimes! www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...
