However much contempt you have for these people, it's not enough.

people said the same thing about Act Up protested in a Catholic church. they were right to do it then and these protesters are right to do it now.

Holy hell, what an obituary

The Australian and NZ govts need to grow a spine and make it abundantly clear that a US attack on Greenland would result in the end of all military and intelligence co-operation. No more AUKUS. No more Pine Gap. Cancellation of orders for military hardware from US suppliers. #auspol #nzpol

interested to know why NZ media aren’t urgently asking questions about this situation

Jacinda Ardern is scheduled to appear at AWW - has she said anything/withdrawn yet?

One of these is not like the other... #nzpol

The top 'article' thumbnail on the Stuff Politics homepage what 'brand' you wonder? oh, just the NZ National Party We are now past the point where corporate media commentary and embedded advertising are justifiable. This is going to get MUCH worse over 2026 unless there are consequences

We are the world's bad guys. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/we-are-the...

can someone do this now? ty ty

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

Paint me like one of your dumb fucks

If indiscriminate murder and brutality of civilians is normalised through inaction and a lack of consequences then the result is more indiscriminate murder and brutality of civilians because it's been normalised.

The state of Israel endangers Jewish people worldwide.

What are you doing on Monday night? Are you coming to hang out with us?

Time again for my favorite christmas post ever, one that still makes me laugh every time i read it

I've been on the "don't run the guy the electorate said no to already" sauce since Hipkins didn't decide to leave. If Labour wants to win, it needs to ditch the guy who lost as leader. Otherwise the electorate won't have a choice between Luxon and something new and different.

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

Buy one of these rad fundraiser t-shirts to support PATHAs legal costs in their resistance against the inhumane ban on puberty blockers for trans kids. You too can be a woke ideological feral! cradlednz.digitees.co.nz/shop/categor...

If any NZ Labour MPs, or candidates, are seeing this - nah, it's not good enough for your leader to adopt a fence position while our community is under threat even if you've all been given the go to say "what we actually mean is". He's a leader, if he isn't leading, he's losing.

this is a fight i lost and i'm too tired to keep being a blowhard about it but i do think less of people who use spotify

More accurate headline: Deloitte receives $435k of public funds to produce a report that recommends austerity, asset selling, and AI snake-oil for Wellington City Council. #nzpol

“Prime Minister are you going to be rolled?” Tova’s back and Christopher Luxon hates it 👏👏👏🙌 #nzpol

Hipkins jumped on bluesky after a 2month break to support Winston Peters here Has so far refused to do the same to support the trans community in the face of destructive and, frankly, fatal policy that NZF and National delivered this week Really showing his, and Labour's, priorities

This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.

Doctors and parents should make decisions about what it best for their kids' health - not politicians.

I better not see any Nats at pride fucking hell

Winston Peters and Casey Costello have just announced a ban on puberty blocker prescribing - a ban that is not supported by evidence. Politicians announcing this tells you everything you need to know.

The United States expended 25% of its entire missile defense capacity to prevent Israel from facing consequences for its war of aggression against Iran! The US Navy pushed maintenance schedules back years to kill Yemenis on behalf of Israel! They poured F/A-18s into the Red Sea for Israel!

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

cool as hell

Inspired by @thewaroncars.bsky.social’s book, so I’m trying to help support people focused places here in Wellington! Let’s mobilise to get more space for people in our city 💟

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

This particular letter will go down in history as a primary source for how reprehensible and out of touch this national government is

A Senior Cabinet minister issuing "open letters" to the public is some amazing third-term lost-touch don't-understand-the-machinery-of-government can't-even-control-the-media-narrative-any-more stuff and it definitely, positively proves they are NOT panicked and running scared and out of ideas

No Kings

we have got to start killing billionaires. is the first line that the villain speaks in the novel im writing. really though, in the real world, we have to kill these people. he continues

In Whanganui, information from the Government’s own Road Cone Tipline had actually led to more cones being put out than taken away. In Wellington, 110 complaints resulted in just two cones being removed.

Indonesia is denying Israeli athletes entrance visas, which will prevent them from keeping in the world gymnastics championships. This is what real solidarity against genocide looks like. apnews.com/article/indo...

honestly it's insane that we still let people bring up the bible as a source in debates. okay well I don't believe in that and this is the real world

In Wellington I saw businesses on Courtney Place with signs & petitions against the Golden Mile claiming it would hurt their business In transport science this is a common response from business to pedestrian spaces, but a false one! Cars don't shop, people do. People who are walking by! #nzpol
