I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

We studied the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union for two years and identified five key findings about how they construct citizenship in Aotearoa. Swipe to see what we found — and why it matters for democracy here. Full report: buff.ly/MIayuwQ #NZPolitics #Aotearoa #TeTiriti #TaxpayerCitizenship

RespectEd is closing down. Today they went to Parliament with an open letter signed by 21 orgs calling for sexual violence prevention to be properly funded in NZ. Min Karen Chhour didn't show up & has not responded. "Thank you @maramadavidson.bsky.social who showed up & will take the letter to her."

We are truly living through the dumbpocalypse

Heatwave halts Reform bid to scrap climate emergency A council debate on scrapping West Norfolk's climate emergency was postponed after extreme heat made the chamber unusable | Henry Durand

Never underestimate a really good Venn diagram

No this is incredible tho someone plz fill out the rest

So this is why I feel so strongly that people get to choose their faith (or choose to not follow any faith) and that people get to choose their morals and ethics, even if I don’t agree with them or they don’t work for me. As long as your choice is for you, not other people, then I respect it.

I am never 100% sure anything is true until this petulant, lying toddler denies it.

Ouch.

“Unlock NZ’s Potential” Unlock NZ? What, so that you can flog it off for a few cents to your sponsors? Fuck off you bloodsucking little creep

If those unlocked TWh fuel the energy hunger of inefficient software injecting inaccurate information into society, should we celebrate that? Is there not a better way to think about this, and to do this?

Media: "This heatwave is unprecedented" All the experts who've spent the last five decades precedenting it:

#ZenobēEnergy says it has raised $A400 million to accelerate the #transition to zero-emission public transport across #Australia and New Zealand.. https://thedriven.io/2026/06/24/zenobe-secures-landmark-400m-financing-for-heavy-vehicle-electric-fleets-in-australia-and-nz/

This will only reach a small percentage of the people affected, but I got hacked, and the hackers are sending out a SPECIAL INVITATION under my name to my contacts, in the hope they can hack them too. Don’t open

Tax Policy @greens.org.nz #nzpol i've watched this several times. it's the best explainer of party policy i've ever seen, & it made clear to me how hungry i am for concise, detailed, relevant policy announcements delivered in real talk. @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social Part 1 of 3 - the Super Rich ✅✅

Dr Who has really gone downhill over the years...

crazy how the Americans invented Google and don’t know how to use it

You think the Greens having a typo in their tax policy document is bad? I heard Chlöe Swarbrick personally cancelled a half-billion dollar deal to replace our ageing interislander ferries via text message and then we had to pay Hyundai $144 million in contract breaking fees for it oh wait.........

Truly bizarre how NZ has fallen from being amongst the countries with the very highest per capita GDP and living standards to lagging behind much of the OECD (inc. some former Eastern bloc countries) on many measures, yet challenging the policies that got us here provokes howls of outrage.

“the Green-adjacent trans-lovers that fill his cabinet”?? The Labour Party viciously threw trans people under the bus and is now to the right of where the Tories were just 5 years ago. At least acknowledge this basic fact in your column that you allegedly file as a professional politics-knower

Chlöe Swarbrick pressed the Revenue Minister: IRD chased ~900 small NZ companies into liquidation last year. SMEs are 61% of tax debt. The multinationals booking profits offshore keep dodging enforcement. The IRD doesn't lack capacity — it lacks the political instruction. #nzpol

-without using AI. *cough*

Every time the Greens get a policy article on RNZ fuckin half of it is dickhead rebuttal from Act and others, with some editorial water-muddying for good measure. Last time Act announced policy they got a long form press release with bullet points and zero commentary. That’s some bullshit.

Back in the late 70s these two shows would play on New Zealand television on Friday nights.

Share this with 96% of New Zealanders who the NZ Green Party are trying to help. #TaxTheSuperRich #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Let’s go further. Let’s get Big Money out of existence

Memo to Shane: "Provoke the public at your peril."

I have no words. "Low cost meals - problems. I don't agree at all. It will turn Browns Bay into a crime ridden area. Bad idea! Where do we sign a petition against this?", one person said. Church’s plan for low-cost cafe to feed hundreds shunned by locals www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/601...

This christo fascist twerp is dangerous, the fact he's in charge of so many critical areas should be of extreme concern #nzpol

Curious thought 💭 It’s funny how all these middle class (income) and upper class boomers don’t support taxing the super rich more, when they’ve worked their whole lives and have never made it to the elite class & never will…and they’ve never wondered why? #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #TaxTheRich #NZ

"The coronavirus vaccine reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events linked to covid-19 — strokes, heart attacks, and hospitalization from heart disease — by about 40 percent, according to a new study." Science saves, and improves lives folks. #nzpol

Tax the super rich, because in reality there is no justification for this absolute grift by the 1% . #nzpol #TaxTheRich #TaxJusticeNZ #OneTermGovernment #NZ ✅✅

nz politicians losing their mid about 'lolly scrambles' and the lollies are called things like "effective cancer screening" and "clean water"

I remember in the ’90s an American visiting speaker at VUW Biology extolled the virtues of feral cat colonies, with volunteer-stocked feeding stations. Photos of dozens of cats patiently waiting in the bushes for their biscuits. A roomful of silent NZ biologists, stunned by this obscene sight.

"Shaway, Tiger. Jellymeat for dinner!" From the days when there was just one can of pet food in the supermarket for cats and dogs.

Protest ICE? You're a terrorist. Get killed by ICE like Renee Nicole Good? You're a terrorist. Commit a violent insurrection for Trump? You get pardoned and taxpayer money.

That thing where you see a headline and you really would like to comment but alas you cannot.

This 'one policy at a time' thing is going to backfire. The right understand that flooding the zone hides many sins. This one item is receiving more scrutiny than most of the horrendous things the CoC are doing #nzpol

They are the kind of men who say "our women."

I had to see it, so I'm addressing it For anyone confused why Palestinian and Tino Rangatiratanga flags were flown at yesterday's protests, do you think there are no trans kids in Palestine? Do you think none of us are Māori? This is a shared struggle. None of us are free until all of us are free
