Regardless of whether spineless Luxon, Peters or Seymour and their zionist friends think about recognising Palestinian statehood, New Zealand is signatory to the Genocide convention, which mandates it's parties to enforce the prohibition of genocide. Standing in the international stage to […]

Pretty embarrassing for New Zealand to have the Trumpiest government outside of the USA, in my humble opinion. #nzpol

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

Grow a spine NZ Government. #nzpol #gaza #genocide

This was a very good interview on climate change and implications in Aotearoa NZ: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2019006040/tim-lenton-how-to-fix-the-climate-crisis

walking out/booing netanyahu is great and all, but have we tried arresting him for war crimes?

Today we finally find out if Winston Peters has grown the tiniest bit of a spine or if he will keep New Zealand in the wrong side of history, firmly under the boot of settler colonial Zionism. 🇵🇸 #freepalestine #sanctionisrael #fromtherivertothesea #nzpol

As of today, 73 countries have ratified the #globaloceantreaty 🌊 🐙 The threshold was 60, so it is a done deal. It is a major milestone and a significant win for life in the seas. 🐳 It will come into force in January 17. 🥳 Meanwhile, you can read about the ways the historic agreement can […]

Approximately a year ago, activists and colleagues took action against seabed mining in New Zealand, occupying the office of the lobbying firm. Today they were found guilty of trespass, convicted and discharged. “I’m proud to wear this conviction. We never take such action lightly but if […]

Lots of data and neat graphs here illustrating the global problem of #inequality and how it is distributed across the world. Puts into perspective quite a few often repeated myths. Have a look! Work of the reknowned degrowth scholar Jaso Hickel. https://globalinequality.org/ #systemchange […]

I wass having a cup of tea with a group of people at a marae today. The conversation turned political. I bit my tongue because it wasn't the time or place for the anarchist trouble-making activist to be giving his hot takes. But somebody said something along the lines of "Surely, this is a one […]

Not even close to his worst crime, but I will personally never forgive Trump for making Jimmy Kimmel this relevant. #shitpost #uspol

I guess we should thank Donald Trump for making the relationship between fossil fuels and fascism explicit.

This Trump–Epstein statue popped up in DC today. 🤯😅

[Rapture spoilers] Pretty unhappy with this rapture to be honest. Enjoyed the previous two a lot more and they were already well below expectations at the time. They just can't seem to make the end of times as good as it used to be anymore. Skip this one, hope the next one is better.

More and more influential voices agree that bottom trawling is a hugely destructive, indiscriminate and frankly indefensible practice. If we want to have a thriving ocean to help regulate our climate and for future generations to enjoy, bottom trawling needs to stop. Why New Zealand’s most […]

Forgive me for sounding like an extremist, but if the purpose of society isn't to house, feed, and care for its members, what the fuck is the purpose?

Perhaps the worst version of #mapswithoutNZ so far. 😕 Recognising statehood of Palestine is less than bare minimum and way overdue. Yet our 'leadership' can't even manage that. #nzpol

Finally got our local election voting packs. Feeling very uninspired by the crop of candidates, particularly for our local board and ward. There is one dude I know has my vote because he regularly comes to our bike events and is vocally supportive of active/public transport. There is one dude […]

I've long maintained that GDP is absolutely the wrong metric for what we use it for. It doesn't measure the things that actually matter most in actual people's lives and I believe that the obsession with its perpetual growth is one of the main drivers of injustice, environmental degradation and […]

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, foolish land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

Global Ocean Treaty ratification update! 🌊 🐙 With 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka's Ratification we are now sitting at 57 out of 60 ratifications needed!! A new legal framework for protection of the High Seas could happen ANY DAY now! So. Excited!. #BBNJ #ProtectTheOcean #oceans #globaloceantreaty

Remember: Fascism desperately needs to project strength. It can't work if it doesn't look powerful and imposing. It depends on this manufactured perception of force, unity, power. It is how they hide their inadequacy, fear, insecurity and incompetence. Call their bluff, every time you can […]

We all need to scream that the emperor has no clothes right now. And we need to do it loudly and cussedly and in strategic relationship with each other. Because they are TELLING US what scares them most, right now. And it is unapologetic truth-telling.
