Doctors Without Borders is also Hamas, just like Human Rights Watch are, like Amnesty International and indeed every aid and civil liberties organisation on earth that comments. Mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians scrambling for bags of flour though, that is just fine.

There are going to be people who unironically praise this and say banning Doctors Without Borders and OxFam is necessary because they're Hamas. And worse, folks will nod and agree as though that's a legitimate position and not absolutely batshit. www.npr.org/2025/12/30/g...

Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials and media who keep promoting immunity debt own this.

Almost an annual story. Like spring lambs caught in an unseasonably late snow storm

Kennedy is ramping up his attacks on vaccines. Conspiracy theories are central to that agenda of undermining faith in public health, medicine, and experts. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Wow does this piece suck! Another very good reminder that "realistic", "pragmatic", "adult" etc have all just become half-hearted mumbled stand-ins for "better things aren't possible" Like: eliminating the combustion engine is NEVER ATTAINABLE? like ever? We'll be selling them in the year 4000? WTF

This is terrifying. A 75% approval rating for a fascist regime with 92% support coming from 18-29 year olds. Fascism is ascendent globally and being normalized by competent, presentable Nazis making ultranationalist appeals.

It shouldn't be controversial to say that every single international airport in NZ should have a heavy or light rail link to the nearest city centre. The fact there isn't one for any of them is absolutely ridiculous.

NZ again conspicuously absent from condemning Israel - even one signed by these co belligerents in the genocide in Gaza.

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

'The Israeli army stormed Tubas in the West Bank and posted warning notices stating: "We are monitoring what you do online… you have been warned," in an attempt to prevent Palestinians from expressing their suffering and exposing its crimes.' #FreePalestine

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

#NZPol “The war in Gaza has firmly established that the international legal, moral, and political order contains a double standard and was never meant to serve the needs of weaker nations and societies” mondoweiss.net/2025/12/isra...

Israeli Defence Minister confirms that Israel intends to permanently occupy Northern Gaza and establish settlements there. October 7 was the excuse that Israel has been planning for. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

Measles- three more cases announced today Auckland and Wellington. Lower Hutt location of interest. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

“The only thing the New Zealand government has done, is to change its decades-long regular vote in the United Nations, to allow Israel’s unquestioned illegal occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights to continue.” “All the more reason for us to continue to protest.” John Minto Co-Chair PSNA 14/14

the language through out is arms company / tech babble this is not a NZ success story - it's a story of US military industrial complex building a foothold here and NZ politicians and media FAILING to interrogate it effectively and give the NZ public the truth

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience. www.notus.org/health-scien...

with very little pushback or attention, NZ's foreign and military policy is rapidly aligning with the new military alliance the US is building against china, one that seeks to gut each country to pour money into the defence industry and use them as cannon fodder for the empire

OUT NOW ON EXIT FROM AFFCO: the Trump admin's National Security Strategy document from earlier this month, and how New Zealand's government is already acting out on it and falling in behind the American empire www.exitfromaffco.com/p/new-zealan...

Our highly scientific diagram of the situation:

i think it should be clear that Luxon was referring directly to "great replacement" narratives that have been pushed by the white supremacist far-right. National has mostly been happy to let ACT & NZF be the nasty ones in public, but make no mistake - Luxon and his goons are slurping the same filth

For his heroics, the asylum seeker was shot, kicked in the head, and now faces deportation. Today, the government also announced they are implementing Zionist lobbyist Jillian Segal’s plan to oversee Australian public life from education through to arts orgs and immigration. It’s completely fucked.

Am just not interested in any coverage of this in the context of 'debate' or 'litigating' or starting a 'discussion' beyond the fact that he said 'mass uncontrolled immigration' which is specifically a white supremacist/nazi/far right line and a fake made-up thing that doesn't exist.

New case of measles in Queenstown

How long before the warmonger happening in England makes its way here? When will get headlines about being ready to fight and die for your country? The sacrifice we will need to make etc etc

New Zealand pursues perpetual restructuring because leaders are too incompetent to make their case democratically and too ideologically-driven to achieve results through effective coordination, negotiation and partnership. Forever looking for the silver bullet and the magic quick fix.

David Seymour is a fuckwit.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

"I think they're outrageous & its worth saying Jillian Segal.. is one of the former leaders of the pro Israel lobby.. what is happening here.. a deliberate conflation between criticism of Israel.. & antisemitism" Antony Loewenstein on comments by Australia's antisemitism envoy

No Ephraim Mirvis, opposing genocide does not inspire antisemitic attacks. And neither does 'globalise the intifada' mean murdering Jews. Its a call for global activism in support of Palestinian resistance against a brutal Israeli occupation

ICC-wanted war crimes fugitive PM Netanyahu, who has presided over a 2+ year, daily live-streamed slaughter of 70,000+ Palestinian men, women & children—while claiming it’s done in the name of Jews worldwide—today blamed Australia’s recognition of Palestine for encouraging antisemitism & causing...

Antony Loewenstein: "I am deeply frustrated with what I already see as the weaponisation of this attack by many members of the political elite in Australia & globally.. politicians have made a direct link and connection between yesterdays attack and pro Palestine marches"

Lots of Starmerite style red flags in the Hipkins interview, one that stands out is when he states 'we can't keep throwing money into health' that old neoliberal chestnut which is code for privatising health through (public private partnerships) #nzpol

My take for what little it's worth is the gov have at least an 80% chance of winning a 2nd term now.(barring scandals) which will only increase if there's even a slight recovery from now until election. I'm not reading anything from Hipkins interview to change my outlook #nzpol

Yesterday marked the launch of our new resource center to answer all of your questions about online age verification mandates! Head over to EFF.org/Age to explore our explainers, user-friendly guides, technical breakdowns, and advocacy tools—all indexed in the sidebar for easy browsing. EFF.org/Age.

Our new Age Verification Resource Hub is live at EFF.org/Age — and next week (12/15–12/17), we’re hosting an AMA on r/privacy to talk about it. Come ask us anything about what these sweeping laws really mean for your rights and safety.

Moral panic over kids on the internet is a convenient smokescreen for internet censorship.

The U.S., one of the leading participants in the so-called ‘rules-based order,’ is committing blatant acts of piracy and murder on the high seas. Meanwhile our government 👇

Genuine question are there any groups that will be opposing the bi partisan push to introduce age verification (censorship, digital id, surveillance..) for social media in nz?

lol lmao even

I am begging people to listen that age verification laws are a threat to internet access on a wide scale

I see this sort of proud posturing a lot and it's really a wonderful way to loudly demonstrate to everyone you have absolutely no idea what's going on

They're run by a MAGA fascist and her billionaire backers who spread the murderous “Great Replacement” conspiracy. It’s unforgivable that mainstream news outlets from CNN to NYT have quoted a libsoftiktok-style hatemonger as reputable source on antisemitism. It’s like citing the KKK on civil rights.

Banning children from social media really means a push for adult digital ID. Tech giants failed at their first generation ‘real names policies’. This time, they‘ve outsourced the work to corporate-supporting politicians and useful idiots.
