. Meanwhile, Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza and in Lebanon. .

Any hope of rebuilding the United States is going to have a price tag in the trillions, and even if the need is obvious and we have the spine to address it, it will be thwarted by the exact same idiots who voted for the destruction in the first place.

David Seymour's new Ministry of Regulation cost ~$20 million every single year - that's $200 million over a decade & 4 times bigger than the Productivity Commission Seymour was also given $153 million for private schools which he gave to Jamie Beaton, John Key & FSU's Jonathan Ayling etc

Good news Lan Pham's bill drawn in Parliament to stop mining on public conservation land "Conservation land belongs to all of us. It is set aside to protect native plants, wildlife and the places New Zealanders love, not to be dug up for private profit," Pham said.

From the full story linked in comments: "The beavers have also allowed the city to scrap expensive plans to dig a reservoir and levee. 'We said the beavers can do it for a fraction of the cost, certainly more sustainably,' McCormack says."

$9,000,000. That's how much Zohran Mamandai has taxed Jeff Bezos — so far. This is after the former city leadership BEGGED Bezos to bring Amazon warehouses to NYC. Mamdani is what you get when a leader refuses to bend the knee to billionaires, and instead moves to make them pay their fair share.

Anything less than Georgina energy by Labour on transphobia in 2026 isn't good enough.

Feeling for all public servants and officials impacted by today’s news

I’ve been making Bailey watch The L Word for the first time. During a scene just now with Jenny in it she turns and says to me: “When does she die? She’s so annoying.”

Successive govts of this country have been deferring to big banks, duopoly grocery stores, tech giants, and foreign billionaires. They fundamentally do not give a shit about the economy or the people.

A must read from @bernardchickey.bsky.social

#nzpol Worth reading as it includes expert legal opinions.

Part of the reason we are here is an inability to call racism “racism” because we are too scared to call racists “racists” It’s as racist as the day is long. We’ve “anxiety” “tinged” “coded” “some critics call” “could be seen as” and now “Calvinball” ourselves to this point. Call a thing a thing.

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

I'm a political commentator and my political comment is "dude what the fuck"

If you keep women poor, then they’ll keep doing caring work in the home for free, because you may as well do it for love and a roof over your head.
