Why did the democrats abandon their demand for continuation of medicare/medicaid? To protect the filibuster. The tool used by the Democratic establishment to thwart progressive uh change and and blame it on somebody else. The Senate protects money. The US answer to the House of Lords.

I sometimes have chats with NHS managers about how to “restore trust” and it’s amazing how poorly they react to the suggestion that people who harm patients should lose their jobs.

if Zohran’s victory has inspired you, if you’ve seen the power of what a mass movement can do, if you are ready to fight for a better world, it’s time: join DSA today, and let’s make one thousand Zohrans happen across the country act.dsausa.org/s/2784.PebCRO

This woman is absolutely brilliant. Everything people thought they were getting from Russell Brand - but weren't.

@richardjmurphy.bsky.social It's not the media's job to hold governments accountable. That is the job of the Law. This is what is destroying them: 👇

Here's one for everyone to write to your government about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8r_... It’s not government policy that causes wealth inequality and crashes. It’s lack of policy. Governments cannot give the means to buy up the social common wealth to banks who give it to the Elon Musks,

There is something particularly nauseating about spineless #WinstonPeters and following (human or bot -difficult to tell) baying for retaliation and suppression of protest against his constant shameful hypocrisy. At least Murray McCully got it for doing something he and New Zealand can be proud of.

Reality check. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKym...

Sarah Paine explains why Jeffrey Sachs' propaganda about #NatoExpansion is a lie. From the excellent lecture at www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH_y.... Clip 1: Russia's imperialist history leading to the desire to join Nato

Wow. This is a great speech. Zohran Mamdami's victory speech. (starts at 18:55) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYHr...

Maybe you should spend your time on saving representative democracy instead of cancelling people who are going to the trouble to spread information. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rSw...

Why don't you go and tell Elon to pay back the $30 billion of your money he got paid. And pay the taxes he should have paid. And to stop cutting medical and food for the people who actually did the work that produced the money he's got. Lobby for 100% tax on $Bs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2KW...

This we call a propaganda piece and not actual journalism No we dont nor ever will need State Highway 1 as 4 lanes to Northland. Ironically showing why Labour Day was a problem also shows why NZTA's analysis is junk. The highway like mall parking lots only get clogged 4x a year 2+1 road is enough

Here's my latest substack. On holding our elected representatives to account - another lie? www.talaria.fyi/publish/post... (This is part 2. Part 1 will follow shortly. 🤪)

@atpgeo.bsky.social AI is LYING to everyone that POLITICIANS ARE ALLOWED TO LIE. THEY AREN'T. (NOTE: NZBORA here is the wording of the United Nations created right.)

Yes, our governments are elected to look after our interests and protect us. Not to serve offshore corporates. Our governments don't have to give our resources to people who don't need them, to make jobs. They can use it on home grown businesses to create jobs. www.facebook.com/LabourMaori/...

Govt are getting excited about lower interest rates and publishing some truly misleading nonsense. My adjusted design is messy, but the numbers and text better reflect the reality. Couple more importants things on this subject... [🧵 1/3]

David Seymour wants to make it easier to sell our assets, hocking NZ off to the highest bidder…and he wonders why I don’t agree with him. Investing in NZ is a privilege, let’s keep it that way!

Simple, easy steps. Any govt that doesn't do these is selling their country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQUq....

The real truth of why no one can afford to live. (from Senator Bernie Sanders at x.com/SenSanders/s...).

My latest substack - the economic chicanery used by a cabal of grifters and private banks to "buy" half the world with money made out of nothing, and rent it back to us. Welcome to the new economic serfdom. www.talaria.fyi/p/capitalism....

Prof Richard Murphy “AI is not creative. It cannot do anything that hasn't been done before. "... we have to design policies to share productivity gains wisely because they're based upon the sum of human knowledge and they don't belong to any one person.” From www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVV1....

US presidential elections were fair Yeah Right.

Are you aware that Franklin Roosevelt set up the UN so elected governments could stop the oligarchs? And that since the Bush administration planted them in control of the UN via Russia, they are not only staging this war on Ukraine, but destroying representative democracy throughout the world?

FFS stop cyberbullying people out of voicing the truth. Is free speech only for you? Are you being paid by Musk or something. YES, BOTH NEED TO HAPPEN. SO WHY HAS ATP BEEN CANCELLING THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE. W.T.F.

Another gripping episode in the enslavement of the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=urIP....

Intriguing. Just started reading this - What do you all think of it? www.narativ.org/p/the-greate...

Quote of the day: "America's most important rights are to lie without consequences and own a gun." My heart does bleed seeing people who have done it to others for generations, having it done to themselves.

Finally! Someone read my article! ✔✔✔ Couple of points: 1. Governments are not the arbiters of truth/lies. The Courts are, and that is and has always been their job. That's how they determine every single case. Truth grows healthy and trustworthy institutions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czk9... /2

From the rest of the world - Make America Go Away. Trump is no different from all your previous presidents. He has destroyed less democracies than most of them. The only difference is you are bleating he's doing a tiny bit of what you happily do to other countries, To YOU.

This is the internet at its finest. Top lawyers explaining directly to the public directly about important issues. The public hearing from the horse's mouth, not 10 second clips of what a news media wants them to hear. Modern Media should be posting links to sources. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiZb...

Enlightened discussion of America. The administration that suppressed our state channel #TVNZ has offices in our country. Thanks #ChrisLuxon. Where's your #Freespeech statement on this, #DavidSeymour, #NewZealandFirst? Non need to ask herr #WinstonPeters.

Great NZ show. No nastiness in sight. Just news, commentary, ideas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOI7...

Brilliant. Small mistake, though: Putin is Trump's whore. Russia has been America's whore since 24 December 1991. GHW Bush bought 🇷🇺 with a fake UN veto: with the same lie he used for Taiwan. Which any President can take away, along with Putin's entire world hegemony and 'immunity', at any time. /2
