I'm so goddamn tired of this fucking bullshit. There is absolutely no reason except evil fascist fuckery for any country to be going after trans people for merely existing. Not a single trans person has done shit to me and mine. The warmongering fucking pigs in power *are* doing shit to me and mine.

All the political news this week has been absolute garbage. It feels overwhelming and that’s on purpose. So it’s more important to seek out the people and causes that give you hope. And give them your time, money and attention. It can be better. We just have to work together.

The amount Upston claimed last year was $52,000, on top of her $320,600 ministerial salary. Upston says her crack down on poor people acquiring accomodation help is about being fair. But tell me, do you think its fair that Upston herself takes an even larger suppliment at the same time?

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

Is the Government budgeting for significant spend on the AI that they claim will replace those jobs? Any concerns held that this spending will head straight over the horizon to international corporates rather than circulating through our economy like payroll does?

The NZ Govt charges the same Road User Charge to a small electric car as it charges a giant 3.5 tonne diesel SUV. Giant cars cause more road damage, more injuries and deaths to pedestrians, cyclists and children, more climate and air pollution. It is a bizarre subsidy and it needs to change.

A pretty demonstrably bad democracy when the kidnapping of a NZ citizen by the US inspires zero concern - across the board. If this had happened during Jacinda Ardern’s term NZ media would have followed her every move until this was resolved. The silence - and the complicity - is very loud.
