This is great. Do please watch it.

"Tax ordinary people less and the super rich more. If you don't do that, they're going to eat us alive." Economist @garyseconomics.bsky.social on the brutal reality of our broken tax system. He's right. This isn't a temporary downturn; it's a crisis of inequality. #TaxTheRich #WealthTax

If you’re a #BOTY fan (Bird Of The Year NZ), I have SO MANY THINGS you might like, all designed by yours truly x pepperraccoon.com #NZ #Kikorangi There might be a sneaky peek of a few new things to come soon here 👀

Nothing new will get built this side of the 2026 election. No-one's coming back from Oz to build them. THREE WASTED YEARS & a lost generation of tradies, just to fund landlord tax cuts.

Is it really "fast-tracking" or "accelerating" when it's basically restarting some of the 100-odd projects you iced a year ago, putting the construction sector into a nosedive? www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

I love my job, and I'd love to keep doing it. You've got till Saturday October 11th, midday to get your vote into a ballot box and make sure your city is represented by people who love to represent you.

This is Oxford Street, completely transformed & traffic-free. It was fantastic to see community spirit in the heart of the West End. By removing traffic, this created the space to stride, stroll and explore. This street is for everyone to enjoy with music, art, food and fun.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

I'm glad he's dead, can we never mention him again

This is how you deal with racist, right wing politicians @mrjamesob.bsky.social dismantling Nigel Fromage I wish a journalist here would do the same to Seymour, Peters or Luxon #nzpol

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

Time again for this classic. Has anyone ever done this for real?

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

lol ICE. lol prestige ICE brands.

absolute gutless coward

I’m proud of what we’ve achieved to enable more safe and low carbon transport choices in our city.

Wellington City is becoming even greener with its new waste plant. Yes it has been a high investment but the impact it’ll have on our environment and long term savings is phenomenal. Love this piece by @maxrashbrooke.bsky.social #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

“Patients are dying now really because of substandard care. Patients dying in the waiting room and corridors or who leave and literally drop dead in the car park. So that's all happened. That's atrocious care at some stage and it hurts the staff when things like that happen.” #nzpol

We must not let the hopeless rot set in. We must be involved, active, angry if needs must. Because if we disengage, become passive, fail our communities...its a deep slippery walled hole to climb out of

The partial eclipse as seen from Wellington

I want to emphasise the importance of anyone with a progressive or even a fair-minded bone in their body in the Wharangi Onslow-Western ward giving me their first preference. Please hit up friends in Karori, Ngaio, Wilton, Northland, Wadestown, Khandallah etc to check they voted

lmao I saw someone on facebook in regards to the "rockstar economy" Coughlan wrote about last year comment "was the rock star in question Kid Rock?"

The only way to win in politics is to aggressively pursue unity and common ground

Solar now fully installed and powering the house during the day, and batteries installed (in the cat enclosure) due to be hooked up early next week. An amazing feeling - house is fully electrified, and we will be basically off-grid running fully on #renewable energy from next week.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave. And they should not need to be told this.

Bro lol Disney and Hulu are DESPERATE desperate. New offer of $2.99 a month to try and get you not to cancel. It’s working.

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

Perfect watching on a windy Sunday "Cripsy fuckin bastad"🤣🤣🤣

🟢 New leader of the Green Party @zackpolanski.bsky.social on how to grow the economy. "We need to destroy this really bad metaphor that the household budget is anything like a national economy."

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Put some headphones on and listen to this 🤯

Auror, the “we don’t do live facial recognition” company, rolling out live facial recognition across all of its sites in NZ. Which is over 90% of big brand retail shops across the country 😑 👀 @jjw.wtf

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein. This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

Portishead reunited and did a pre-taped gig as part of Brian Eno's Together For Palestine benefit concert. 1. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 2. Hot damn they've still got it.

I’ll be on Marae this morning with the amazing @maramadavidson.bsky.social and formidable Oriini Kaipara as we discuss the reality of being wāhine Māori in political roles. Check us out LIVE from 10.30am whānau #nzpol www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/marae

"The new stripped-down Model Y is codenamed E41 and is expected to feature cheaper materials and fewer features than the normal Model Y" Jesus, the Model Y is pretty basic feature wise as it is. This is pretty desperate stuff from the manufacturing genius. 2 models and a shit truck
