isn't it weird that i now trust WCC less because within council the mayor and deputy mayor are white men and they decided to promote a man who spread explicit lies about the former mayor.

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

Re-sharing for the new year, which is also an election year! If you agree, help us out by emailing your local MP asking why Labour and National have not yet signed this letter or committed to regulating AI deployment in NZ. #nzpol

Imagine if there was a fuel source for transportation that didn't require this endless movement of fuel across the world

Defend Greenland. Defend Europe. Defend Canada. #ArcticDefence

I had a Reddit post removed from an “Ask” subreddit because the mods said it could have been answered “by a search engine.” Have any of them used a search engine lately? Search engines don’t answer shit anymore! They’re all completely enshittified. Why do you think I was on Reddit?

Cough cough, Paul Goldsmith #nzpol It's scary how much our government aligns with the clownshow in the US

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things. Starbucks has not signed a contract with the workers for 4 years. Starbucks has more union violations than any other company in the US. Shareholders are demanding they settle. Keep boycotting.

At least SOMEONE has a bit of moral clarity. #nzpol

Unsurprisingly, the Donroe Doctrine is just bullying.

so Hipkins could completely scoop Luxon AND set the frame for the discourse by making even a quite muted announcement on Venezuela. why are Labour so FUCKING BAD at comms OR being in the right side of history?

you don’t actually have to tow the line on foreign policy out of some immensely misguided respect for ‘national unity’ or whatever. this is a coalition government that is actively supporting genocide and US state terrorism. give people a fucking alternative asap please

I heard Starmer described on the radio yesterday as ‘someone who cares deeply about international law’ and like… he doesn’t appear to, guys?

Every major free speech org has said the IHRA definition suppresses constitutionally protected speech. Every major human rights group has said it suppresses legitimate advocacy. The scandal is that Adams adopted the definition, not that Mamdani rejected it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/n...

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media? Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has criticised the capture of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro on X, calling it an 'act of war' and saying the 'blatant pursuit of regime change' affects not just those abroad, but also tens of thousands of Venezuelans in New York.

Venezuela #Ōtautahi #Christchurch #nzpol

if you leak to me i certainly won’t pull this shit

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

US President Donald Trump threatens to invade and attack other countries: “We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us." #VenezuelaInvasion

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." ~Isaac Asimov

While many of you are yelling "Go VENEZUELA" or "Go FASCIST AMERICA" I'm yelling "Go INTERNATIONAL RULES BASED ORDER". #SuperRegimeChange2026

So what's this crap in Venezuela really about? Heather will tell you, and it's about much more than oil or Epstein. Heather is a professor of American history, and she takes the long view. #nzpol

Oil and distraction Trump attacks Venezuela anntelnaes.substack.com/p/oil-and-di...

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

One of the most profound things I’ve heard recently was that the advantages of solar and wind power is that you don’t invade other countries for their wind or their sunlight…

Venezuela is a sovereign country, not a non-state actor. It is not developing any offensive capabilities that would threaten US safety. There has been no argument to Congress—the only entity that can declare war—that the United States must undertake military operations. This is beyond illegal.

BREAKING: Venezuela’s government has accused the US of launching attacks on civilian and military installations across several states, rejecting what it described as a "military aggression," according to an official statement. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/p3fqh2

How about you prove you actually pay ANY FARKING TAX AT ALL you risible sociopathic leech?

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

Paging @andrewlittlenz.bsky.social Get the Golden Mile started NOW #nzpol

"We will replace the fragility of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism" ... love this line even more.

Socialism doesn't mean you gotta stop being a bad bitch

This. Slow and steady does not win the race this year, it discourages people from bothering to vote. If your strategy relies on turnout, take heed of Mahmdani's path.

It’s election year for New Zealand - please strongly encourage, donate to and vote for this energy👇 Playing it small and safe doesn’t serve our communities of greatest need, and it doesn’t meet this moment when we need more from our leaders, not less. Vote for those who mean it when they say change.

The regime recently fought (successfully) to keep terrorism lead numbers mentioned in their terrorism law review secret, but they're releasing them publicly here. maybe not so secret after all then?

Sooooooo Simeon Brown, if a private institution cannot secure our health data what chance is there that private hospitals can keep the NZ health system operational? Fat fucking chance #nzpol

In today’s NZ Herald

No clinical impact Simeon leaps to the top of the 2026 most vapid political statement chart

“Gone are the days when companies like Instacart and DoorDash can bully their way into record profits on the backs of workers and consumers," said Sam Levine, the incoming head of the Dept. of Consumer and Worker Protection under Mayor Mamdani.

i am beyond mad at the successive governments whose failures to invest in the healthcare system has resulted in a private company potentially losing my private medical records because paying for competent IT security would've cost them profits.
