BREAKING: Fast Track panel declines seabed mining bid. "This is a victory for the moana, for all the people across Taranaki and Aotearoa, from Iwi and hapu and councils and everyone who loves our ocean," said KASM chairperson Cindy Baxter. #nzpol www.kasm.org.nz/post/breakin...

Winston Peters tells Waitangi there's "a major event coming" in a "troubled world" and #NZ had better get with the new world order "right now" or regret it. While media chases after shadows with Henare, Peters is selling a clear prediction & threat - should be of interest. #nzpol

Shane Jones & NZ First promise a full frontal assault on Te Tiriti o Waitangi if they win power again. Note under this govt, Treaty of Waitangi clauses were removed & weakened at least 27 times already #nzpol #kiwi #waitangi

"Why can’t credit be extended to support essential green infrastructure while ecologically destructive profiteering gets the green light?"

A lot of people have been asking questions about how many workers stayed off the job for Minnesota's Jan 23 shutdown against ICE. Here is some more specific info passed along to me by labor leaders in Minnesota. prospect.org/2026/02/04/t...

Chorus out: The Government is hoping voters will 'feel' economic recovery by Nov 7 as 'green shoots' appear (again), but election year has begun with falling house prices, unemployment rising to a 10-year high and real wages deflating. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/election-y...

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

*The ICJ, the world’s most senior & respected court called the war in a Gaza a ‘plausible genocide’, the UN Special Investigation called it a ‘genocide’ & the world’s most respected genocide research institute, the Lemkin, calls it a genocide. Multiple respected charities & aid orgs do so too.

It does not get any more f*cked up than this. Firing a news reporter IN THE MIDDLE OF UKRAINE WAR ZONE. Bezos is despicable.

“The French offices of Elon Musk's X have been raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit, as part of an investigation into suspected offences including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.”

In particular, leveraging mental health conditions here in a very pointed way to prey on the superficial 'mental health awareness' floating around is especially vile when you consider that being kidnapped; fearing for your family; and experiencing systemic racism all cause extreme mental harm.

NZ says it will explore “co-operation on critical minerals” with the United States, a day after NZ PM Christopher Luxon brushed off talk of any such co-operation. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Trump #USA #RareMetals #MineralDeals #ShaneJones

Explain to me how body cameras and judicial warrants (already policy, btw) would fix this. Abolish ICE and DHS.

So has anyone here adopted a retired greyhound? I know lots of them will need homes when the racing ban comes in and I'm seriously considering it

Amnesty International mapped the finances of 65 anti-rights groups operating across the UK. The largest spenders are UK branches of US organisations (£34 million), ultra-conservative Christian policy/advocacy groups (£31.5 million), and anti-abortion organisations (£28.5 million).

So good

Fertilisation of the ocean with mineral dust promotes algal blooms that capture carbon, but when the same thing happens in Greenland, it reduces albedo leading to accelerating melting. A new study analysed dust collected from the Greenland Ice sheet and found minerals essential to algal growth.

This is absolutely heartbreaking Dr. Hossam's lawyers warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, & the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering. Do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away 💔

Black History Month began 100 years ago as Negro History Week. Carter G. Woodson created this week to correct the record of Black contributions. A century later, the fight to tell the full truth about our history continues. This month, we honor the legacy. And we protect it.

A niche PSA but anyone in Dunedin who might ever want to apply to the DCC for funding for anything: there's a councillor workshop about the (never-ending) grants review at 1pm on Thursday 5th. Pass it on?

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

ICE is targeting Native businesses & community/resource centers in Minneapolis. They harassed people at Pow Wow Grounds & sat outside of the American Indian Women's Resource Center for 2 hours last month. Many Native people (that we know of, there's definitely more) have been kidnapped by ICE.

The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in Palestine, Francesca Albanese, stated that what is happening in Gaza does not constitute a humanitarian ceasefire"(PalTimes News) #Gaza #Genocide

the stratification and segregation of nz society is one of the most destructive effects of neoliberalism in my view. policies which prioritise funding restraints above ensuring a child- every child!- is given an equal opportunity to fulfil their potential is an inexcusable violation of their rights

2 fun facts about mice: 1. mice have been observed performing CPR-like resuscitation on other mice. 2. they have also been observed acting as midwives for labouring mice. mice that have already given birth are best suited for the job, with higher rates of survival for both mama and pup.

I didn't know that was on anyone's list of election promises. That's so fucked up, and utterly backwards. www.emilywrites.co.nz/inclusion/

Nursing understaffed on 650,000 shifts out of 1.7 million shifts bt Jan 2022 and Dec 2024 (using TWO’s own data). Do you believe nurses saying they are attacked more often or TWO saying understaffing has nothing to do with assaults? I’m with the nurses (believe women!).

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass. It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved. I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it. Please share this...(1)

When Dr. Jane learned that factory farming causes millions of animals around the world to suffer, she knew she needed to change her ways. The next time she saw meat on her plate, she said: "This symbolizes fear, pain, and death – and I don’t want to eat that." Video: Jane Goodall Institute

Thank the Big Beautiful Bill. New federal work requirements for SNAP begin this week, stripping long-standing exemptions for veterans, foster youth, and some parents. An even greater hunger crisis looms.

With the global spotlight shifting fom Gaza, the campaign to isolate Israel has never been more urgent, experts say.

@kasiazoe.bsky.social I try not to eat too much processed food but I love quorn so much.

If people in NZ want a precedent on academics not blindly accepting funding, I happen to be aware of this Otago Council resolution from the early 1970s (without my actually knowing the specific events that led to it) paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/C...

Justice is not a gift; it is a debt the world owes to Palestine.

After all the climate-amplified deadly weather, the Luxon Govt claimed it is taking action on climate change. But is it action to make it worse by increasing emissions? Here is the evidence: www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

Peace will not be possible, from the river to the sea, until we witness the Zionist state filed away in the archives of History. The lie that Israel is “the only democracy in the Middle East” can, at this point, only be rectified by the dismantling of the Jewish ethno-supremacist state.
