Babies being born in Cuba now and for the past few months are at extreme risk of dying or being permanently disabled because of Trump and more particularly Rubio’s strangulation of the island @andrespertierra.bsky.social

RWers are always pushing pie-sky crazy shit and then slipping through “lesser of two evils” measures. The left should be doing the same. We should be actively campaigning for the Republic of Aotearoa with a new flag, new national anthem, new honours system and a new constitution based on Te Tiriti

Excellent. Be miserable, you Nazi POS.

#nzpol 20 NZ troops buried here. My grandad fought against the genocide of Jews, homosexuals and Romani in WW2. He suffered a serious brain injury in that war. His injury had impacts on the family that are still being felt. Fuck Netanyahu’s Israel. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Definitely worth voting against it. 🗳️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

Ugh. Of course that’s how these creeps phrase it www.justice.gov/epstein/file... #nzpol #kikorangi

So, we’re NOT all the same are we David Seymour? Slaves deserve less human rights than non slaves, according to the ACT party, so effectively he’s blown up his whole ‘Trojan horse plan’ to appeal to the masses, proving that not all psychopaths are geniuses🤦‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

I don’t think I can express how good this sounds to my ears. The voting public need to see how toxic the coalition of chaos is as we head into an election

The reason why I keep going on about the Night of the Long Knives is that when Hitler purged the Brownshirts and reformed it, things, in fact, did not get better.

Colossal tit. Feel free to share this with your own thoughts… 💭 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

Try thinking harder.

I look forward to joining millions in crushing those dreams.

Oh FFS Bryce is repeating the ignorant myth that the Green Party used to be only an environmental party and generally highlighting scandals that barely count compared to RW corruption and violence… #nzpol

Should be "New Zealand vacates embassy in USA as threat of violence escalates" #nzpol

following on from my rant about nz sun yesterday, if you have ever had a bad sunburn your risk of melanoma can double or triple. get a doctor trained with a dermascope to do a full body check every year. you can get melanoma in your vulva, up your nose, on your diddle, behind your ear, on your scalp

@theconversation.com has 180,000 followers on X. Their most recent post was reposted once. Nothing in the past 2 days shared more than 7 times. Someone explain to me what is stopping these institutions from deciding to stop using a non-consensual abuse app as a communications platform

The number of people posting about how awful X is, but still have an account that they feel compelled to use to "check what's going on" are wilfully ignoring the fact that they're part of the problem. Leave X, delete your account. NOW Keeping an account to prevent impersonation is just horseshit

love to be a libertarian whose response to the summary execution of an american citizen is “you shouldn’t say bad words”

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Financial Times skewers Twitter www.ft.com/content/ad94...

Not to knit-pick here or anything, but that’s pretty much WHY people resort to using drugs, because life itself has some seriously negative effects. 👀🤷‍♀️ #nzpol

Audacious: "showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks." I keep seeing that word in news reports in relation to the US's illegal invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president. What's wrong with the word criminal? Or gangsterish?

We are dealing with the world's most shameless & terrible people. I'm perfectly fine using these terms to describe the Trump Administration and MAGA movement. I don't think they are owed any civility or grace based on their actions and behavior. How do you shame people without shame or decency?

This is such a damn good thread and the only thing I think I can add is that it is really whiplash-inducing to see how many formerly centre-left climate-aligned folks have in the past few months leapt to centre-right tech-aligned. Not sure if it's despair, stewing in Musk's X-swamp, or just honesty

Superb.

The sooner NZ First get under 5% at an election, the sooner we can party like it’s 1999.

The NZ RW gvt is! They're thrilled tariffs are off beef & kiwifruit. They've very Trumpian: not recognising Palestine, restarting oil & gas exploration, stockpiling coal, farming's out of emissions trading, chgd methane policy, no EV reduction, methane target chgd... bsky.app/profile/nick...

@georgepenney.bsky.social Arrived today. Not sure who it’s for yet but I took a peek and now I’m tearing up. You have such gift 💚

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

This week’s episode is an interview with two lawyers who represent Leqaa Kordia, a young Palestinian woman who is in ICE detention for protesting genocide. open.spotify.com/episode/7gid...?

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Who would have thought that the announcement of the BYD Atto 1 selling for under $30k NZD would anger so many people on Facebook? It's crazy. Me and the other moderator have removed so many seething comments from people who feel threatened by this smöl car. 🤷

Listening to Alice Reynolds of the CPUC talk and she just showed this cartoon which is a keeper:

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia. It’s really that simple. (So many shameless hypocrites around.)
