Sometimes my words fail me, unable to express the weight of the pain inside me. 💔 Imagine a family struggling to survive two years of genocide... A son and a brother fighting every day just to keep their family alive. 😔 All I want is to protect my loved ones from the tragedy we are experiencing.

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.' We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them. Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse. Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

AOC committing cold blooded m*rder on the Internet. 💀 This isn’t even fair. Smh. Oh. And if you’re in NYC vote Mamdani for mayor! ✊🏽

I'm a contributor to two forthcoming NZ Asian history resources that sprang out of the NZ History curriculum consultation process. My consolation is that they will definitely outlive this shithouse government.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

"Takes politics out of history" because no politics ever happened in history, can they even hear themselves

Muslims are 1-2% of U.S. population. If that’s a “takeover” it’s the weakest one imaginable. Off the charts projection from Christian nationalists who want prayer in schools, mix religion & state, & have Govt based on Christianity rather than the Constitution. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

I hope Albo realises he has lost the vote of many committed Labor voters on the Left. I want to see a landslide of votes for the Greens and principled Teal independents. I am utterly gutted by the cowardice and complicity of Albo's Labor, on so many essential issues incl. Gaza, environment. #auspol

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost! Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members. That's +26,000 members in the last week. Hope is feeling normal again....

'Alarming gaps': WHO warns NZ to urgently close measles vaccination gap among Māori and Pacific communities

#nzpol Raise your voices loud Aotearoa New Zealand because this is definitely not OK. These people have suffered enough. They have already been put through far too much for what will be meager symbolic compensation. Some are so ill they're dying while they wait. This govt is utterly disgusting.

genuinely so funny that rightwingers are saying this as if it should be scary or bad lmfao

The Washington Post editorial board publishes a piece supporting Trump's demolition of the East Wing to build a ballroom. Note: the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, who is donating millions to build the ballroom. The editorial fails to mention this. 🤔 #USPolitics #journalism

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY. If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people. Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Promise???

An appropriately angry, direct post by Verity Johnson [content note for discussion of child abuse. Our government's done a lot of appalling things; this is one of the worst

Ayling is involved with a charter school. virtualschooling.wordpress.com/2025/10/15/t...

I'm getting hate messages from people saying they won't vote for Mamdani because he said he "would laugh if another 9/11 happened." This is how hate speech works. It doesn't need to be factual, indeed it never is. It just needs to be repeated enough to stick. Anti-Muslim hate is all Cuomo has left.

Muslim British Journalist Sami Hamdi has been abducted by ICE. He was already in the U.S. legally on a visa, but was abducted while attempting to fly from San Francisco to Florida on a domestic flight. Laura Loomer is taking credit for getting him abducted due to his criticism of Israel and the US.

I don't know why every time someone from Gaza is criticized for buying, for example, CocaCola or a boycotted product, the people in Gaza don't have a choice. The people in Gaza are besieged and they only have one choice, or nothingness. They are simply forced to do so. I hope that the story is clear

Please... don't leave now. Our pain hasn't stopped, as it weighs on us day after day. My brother's baby girl Masa needs milk, diapers, and security. A small act from you... could be a lifeline for us. We still need you 🤍🙏 gofund.me/44814cc5 PayPal.me/AboodRadwan1

The woman who runs "Hot Girls For Cuomo" is a MAGA ally of Trump & takes $7K per post from the Israeli Govt to whitewash genocide Dems like Schumer & Gillibrand who still won't endorse Mamdani are telling us they'd rather have a pro genocide Trump puppet than the literal Dem nominee b/c he's Muslim

This is my home town. These fascists have no shame and no regard for due process or human decency. Modern day Gestapo.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

NZ really loves giving permanent name suppression to its privileged elite..

“Even after having released almost 2,000 people last week, the Israeli military is still holding about 9,000 Palestinians,” says Israeli American human rights lawyer Sari Bashi. “Only about a thousand of them have actually been convicted of any crime."

I recall first time I ever ran for office nearly 7 years ago my GOP opponent sent an attack mailer against me saying something like "QASIM RASHID THINKS FELONS SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET FOOD STAMPS." Hell yes I do. Food is a human right. I will die on this hill. Shame on the GOP for starving people.

One thing the current moment is showing us all over the world, is the profound disconnect between elites (governments, politicians, large sections of the media, the wealthy and influential) and the rest of us. People want action against genocide in Palestine, on climate change, on inequality.

Zohran Mamdani Should Herald the Birth of a New Democratic Party This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party and give rise to something people nationwide are yearning for: a People’s Democratic Party. www.commondreams.org/opinion/zohr...

They Tell Us To Fear Muslims While The US Empire Terrorizes The World The empire we live under is everything we’re trained to fear. Our own rulers are the murderers. Our own rulers are the terrorists. Our own rulers are the tyrants. Our rulers are the problem. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-tell-...

Nelson Hospital's generator failed this week for an hour. Simeon Brown labelled it "unacceptable". This is the same Simeon who instructed authorities to do "absolute minimum" in works - even though he knows risks incl. equipment failure #nzpol

From the good old Instagram pages #nzpol

We walk through streets of rubble, stepping over memories of others. Gaza bleeds endlessly neighbors gone, children killed, families displaced. My family fears being next. Please stand with us before silence buries us too.🙏🏻💔

The Luxon Govt’s bonkers plan to build 17 Big New Roads that we don’t really need will cost us at least $44 billion. That’s enough to rebuild Dunedin Hospital 23 times over or to massively improve public transport and cycle infrastructure in all our cities. #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/23/5...

Protesters: NZ space launches are enabling genocide Judith Collins: "Perfectly comfortable" with the ethics and work of the industry, the protesters "live in another world" 1 News: Yeah, actually, we OIAd that shit and the human rights abuse warnings about the launches were there from the start

Now do one for New Zealand

Happy Friday to the super wealthy country where 150,000 children live in poverty. That's about 1-in-8 young kiwis. Obviously, there is simply nothing to be done about this.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Child harm is not only higher, Oranga Tamariki told Chhour they can't investigate most tips so the real numbers are worse #nzpol

Tell me again why we have to spend a billion dollars a year subsidising @fonterranz.bsky.social etc under the Emissions Trading Scheme, in the process removing the price signal for agribusiness to climate their massive pollution. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Also worth noting that our worst paid nurses in New Zealand, the ones whose pay equity claims were thrown in the trash by this government aren't able to join the strike today. But remember that primary health care, aged care and Māori health service nurses stand in solidarity with the strike.
