I see Russia is fast-tracking another war

The Israeli state keeps offering example after example of why its existence in its current form is incompatible with peace and any hope of dignity or justice for Palestinians. It simply is not interested in any of these things and it is well beyond time that Western leaders recognised this reality.

This is in addition to Cloudflare protecting Beamed[.]st/su, the DDoS service that attacked Ubuntu services...313 Team called the attack off once Ubuntu contracted with Cloudflare for protection.

Every time you see news about TeamPCP or Breachforums, you should remember that Cloudflare actively protects breached[.]st. Right now the site is advertising the TeamPCP/Breachforums "Supply Chain Competition."

Are you worried about falling birthrates? Here's 5 simple tips! 1. Quick racism check, are you actually just worried about *white* birthrates? Maybe stop that 2. More parental leave 3. Make public spaces and services safer for parents 4. Rent: too damn high 5. No seriously do the racism check again

This is the situation I refer to the most when trying to explain a the state of book bans right now. Utah has state mandated book destruction for books like Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Damsel by Elana K Arnold. The vast majority of the books are written by women.

I’m sure you can hear the leaders of the West tutting, if you listen hard enough.

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

NZ needs to stop fuelling the genocide in West Papua. No kwila imports, no military co-operation, and no RIMPAC games. www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific...

Whoopsie. Might have cocked that up.

Who burned down Parliament lawn, immigrants or local cookers?

Social stability? Journos need to hammer the shit out of him on this one. Prime Minister, who is causing social instability, immigrants or racists?

The Conservation Amendment Bill as currently drafted is a major threat to conservation with its new purpose of "development to the greatest extent practicable", opening up over 60% of the land to potential sell-off or exchange. 1/4 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Insane dystopian shit here, totally unacceptable. I expect politicians and commentators to be outraged by it, regardless of their opinion of the crimes these people were convicted of.

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

This risk has always existed because Parliament can do what it wants. But the risk has always existed in the same way that there has always been a risk that you'll be killed by a homicidal clown. It's just that now like four people you know have died to homicidal clowns in the last two years.

Every time Nicola Willis talks shit in ‘tax and spend’ I’m like, that’s what governments do thats your job. It’s like going for a job interview as a cleaner and saying all the other candidates will wipe and vacuum but I won’t.

We tried to warn you about Anthropic. Now they're using xAI's ultra-polluting community-killing nightmare data centre to power your toxic claude relationship All the new paid subs from @rutgerbregman.com and @quitgpt.bsky.social's campaign, now powered by Musk 🫠 www.anthropic.com/news/higher-...

This is becoming farcical. Labour is so committed to expressing no policy ideas that they refuse to comment on anything the government does. They can't attack an unpopular government because they'd rather hide in the corner than talk about what they would do instead.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

This is the key feature of Israel's genocidal intent www.972mag.com/israel-gaza-...

-Move fees free to the last year and then dump it all together -Reduce govt Kiwisaver contribution until there’s no contribution -Get rid of personal grievance claim at salaries over $180k then slowly make it for no one -Turn sickness beneficiaries into jobseekers Anti-universalism sucks balls.

For the first time since 1967, Israel is expelling an entire Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbEy...

you fucked up a perfectly good freedom of navigation is what you did look at it, it's got tolls

Complaints to NZ Media Council require you waive your rights to take any other proceedings against the publisher. If the BSA is scrapped, broadcasters should expect some of the complaints that would've gone to the BSA to instead go to court. It will be costlier to everyone including broadcasters.

In summary: “… they will purge the agencies that enforce accountability, they will rewrite the law so that they are no longer breaking it… and if they are clever, they will eliminate any structural protections you had before the majority realizes the extent of the damage.” - Sarah Kendzior #nzpol

"None of the coalition parties campaigned on this," says Green Party spokesperson for Local Government, Mike Davidson. www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA26...

The #Gaza doctrine is expanding in #Lebanon: systematic, deliberate, and total destruction of civilian life and infrastructure, carried out with complete impunity. Governments of the world must hold the Israeli authorities to account. act.gp/4eXmu1J

Neat, it worked! The image population failed so I need to fix that up but otherwise it's alive

How can this be even remotely construed as a ceasefire?

Please stop buying Zuru toys for your children (or yourself). Aside from the awful environmental impact they have, you’re also indirectly supporting the ACT Party. #zuru #mowbray #nzpol #act #aonz Via Tee To.

NZF and ACT are gearing this years election towards immigrant and beneficiary bashing (same as ever) while none of the other big political parties want to be brave and nip it in bud presumably because they a) agree and b) and are relieved their dirty work being done by someone else.

As well as part 1 of the bill that alarmed both us and the Privacy Commissioner, our submission also covered part 2 that gives the police incredibly broad powers to disperse groups of people from any public place, with possible serious harm to the right to protest: nzccl.org.nz/submission-p...

The Privacy Commissioner says that the "Policing Amendment Bill would create significant risks for the privacy and rights of New Zealanders", he points out that the changes are not justified and not subject to oversight. He says the bill should be rejected. www.privacy.org.nz/tuhono-conne...

Luxon wanted NZ to show "explicit Iran war backing" AFTER the US bombed The Minab girls primary school that killed 120 children. Think about that.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu just shared Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon.

If the PM believes that his MFA has put politics ahead of the national interest he has to sack him. How can he retain confidence in a Minister of Foreign Affairs who has “clearly put politics ahead of the national interest"?

1. Wellington City Council owns a Picasso but apparently doesn't know how it got it - it doesn't even know when it got it. 2. They're withholding the insurance valuations of everything in its art collection, on quite dubious grounds.

webworm can report that the new zealand government appears to be offering *zero viable support* to everlee wihongi, or her family, after she was kidnapped by ICE: www.webworm.co/betty2/

The Palestinian Authority held the first municipal-level elections in years in occupied territory and in response the Israeli army kidnapped one of the victors and held him hostage and released him only on the condition that he step down from his seat.

Who else is tired of the constant coverage in NZ media of one failed assassination attempt on a fascist leader in another country. It's news but not that notable.
