THIS is the inconvenient truth

The very words that should get this idiot removed from Presidency. He can’t be controlled and he has too many equally dumb potential protectors. Making him far too close to those nuclear buttons.

You’re never too old to make worse friends than Slater

Scale. My @smh @theage cartoon.

I'll tell you what I'm "deeply concerned" abt, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social. I'm "deeply concerned" abt your complicity in Israel's genocide of the people of Palestine. And I'm "deeply concerned" I won't live long enough to see you charged, standing in The Hague where you belong.

Pretty clear what’s coming. See you all in the camps.

Agree that this is in many ways a solid deconstruction of blackpill. What bothers me about it, though, is the insistence that you can't break it down by traditional left/right. And you *can.* Groypers are ABSOLUTELY right wing. And they are ABSOLUTELY interested in the nation state project.

Queen St Tāmaki Makaurau this morning. Great to see such a huge turnout in support of Palestinians

BRIDGE CROSSING POSTPONED. Change to the Gaza March for tomorrow. Starts in Aotea Square.

RIGHT NOW Trump's deportations and military deployments to US cities are political violence. Police brutality against Stop Cop City and other protesters is political violence. The mainstream thinks it only counts as political violence when the state didn't explicitly order it & that's a filthy lie.

Oh look! Taking care of people works…..almost like the economy actually is people and their happiness and quality are important. Late stage capitalism is killing us all violently. Much more socialism is needed around the world.

Back on line after a 4 week self imposed SM and news-free mental health sabbatical in Australia, most of the time being spent in the Northern Territory. A wonderful experience, with immense well-being benefits! Lots of photos to share, but first I need to figure out the best way to present them

How true this is. And NZ is no exception. We are governed by some of the most thoughtless, brain dead imbeciles ever to be elected to parliament, and their media cheerleaders run a close second for their commitment to championing abject stupidity

Fonterra have literally said that they have no social responsibility to New Zealand, so imho NZ has no responsibility to give them another cent. Here’s a list of Fonterra brands to boycott. * Anchor * Fresh & Fruity * Kapiti * Mainland * Mammoth * Perfect Italiano Fuck em. #nzpol

The American people need to raise holy hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and EVERY person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position. We're either a nation of human decency or we're not. This should be a nonpartisan demand.

If you want to find out who someone truly is, surrender fully to their will and give them everything they want. They'll show you. Zionism is showing us what it truly is right now. This is what it looks like when the Zionists are allowed to do exactly what they want to do.

Seymour’s preoccupation with “burdens on business” sums up ACT completely. Societal, cultural and environmental factors are not just incidental in policy formulation, they are irrelevant. The RSB demonstrates that clearly. Business is not the primary factor - it is the only factor

“Removing red tape has led to events like the Pike River tragedy or the leaky building saga which ruined many people’s lives. He (Seymour) also speaks often about “efficiency” & “burdens on business,” but rarely acknowledges the lived experiences of those at the sharp end of deregulated systems:..”

This is disgraceful. I’m proud of Tory for standing up to this disgusting behaviour, which is so far from what we all expect and deserve from our representatives.

Advance is unofficial. Interlinked with Atlas partners. It is also linked with the networks that constitute the decades-old Islamophobia industry. Funded by many of the same donors funding climate & science denial. Tony Abbott, Advance advisor, is integrated too. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Elbit Systems, a company deeply engaged in and profiting from Israel’s genocide in Gaza, provided the drone used by the Israel Defense Forces to execute Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom, along with six of her colleagues, in a deliberate and targeted attack on aid workers in April 2024. #auspol

What happened to David Seymour to make him so relentlessly unpleasant? Or does Atlas actively target losers and then groom them into arseholes? It reeks of "everyone used to hate me, but look at me now!" We still hate you. Difference is that a whole country hates you now.

Powerful words!

"One might pause to wonder what First Nations people, who are the victims of racism every day, feel about the priority given to 120,000 well-educated, secure and mostly affluent individuals." Ms Adler knocks it out of the park.,

Prediction - Ray Chung will withdraw his candidacy from the mayoral race, then claim that actually, he is the real victim

Jillian Segal + her murderous zionist lobby getting more of a voice in our parliament than First Nations ppl could ever achieve - even with a required REFERENDUM - is deeply sick

Ray Chung is a scurrilous, misogynistic dirtbag. He will disgrace any council he continues to be a part of. He should take a long walk to obscurity, starting today. Just fuck off, Ray

Bringing the moa back from the dead is Peter Jackson’s equivalent of Musk’s “occupy Mars”. Both objectives are ludicrous, impossible, and ethically bankrupt

The bottom line is this. The US is no longer the country we once understood it to be. It is a grotesque fascist white supermacist apartheid state. It is up to its citizens to take their country back. How they choose to do that is up to them but it can’t include the traditional pathways. 6 End

“It’s obviously highly contingent on them actually getting consent to develop the mine. That’s where our focus is,” she said. “Just because they now own the land doesn’t mean it’s going to be any easier for them to gain the necessary consents.” #nzpol

Gee, I don't know Erin. Could it be that unlike yourself, our politicians & media, most Australians have never enjoyed watching unarmed men, women, teenagers, little kids & even babies being slaughtered by bombs, bullets, burnt alive or starved to death? #GazaGenocide #FuckIsrael

Is this the USA, or North Korea? Is there still any doubt that MAGA is a cult?

Two things can be true: 1) anti-semitism is foul bigotry in any context and we must fight it on every front. 2) Bibi Netanyahu is a piece of shit, irredeemable before both god and all humanity, and he should shut up, fuck off, and face justice for his crimes. #auspol

It's just another example of the narrative of poverty being a choice: - It's the fault of unemployed people there are no jobs - It's your fault you don't own a house - your fault you don't have parents who can feed you - your fault, for everything really. Should have chosen better parents.

Now that Trump has shown what a senile slug can do to America, imagine what will happen when he is followed by someone equally evil, but with an actual intelligence. #uspol #politics

Israeli has set fire to Taybeh — a 10,000-year-old village in Ramallah, Palestine. A place where Jesus once walked. Home to the world’s oldest living Christian community. And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

Dr Assal Rad— "What a weird way to say they killed starving Palestinians. "I can’t even fix this, it’s barely English."

It's about time. #auspol #aupol #FuckZionism

All for people to make money on this evil.

also, imagine being a government official with such a tenuous grasp on the nature of political discourse that you think censoring a bunch of Extremely Debate Club Teens is not gonna Streisand Effect you into the event horizon

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Yet here in NZ, shane jones and others would have us believe this is all woke nonsense - the mad rantings of a cult. Sure, we can vote the likes of jones out of parliament, but isn’t it time they faced further consequences for what is criminal behaviour? Jones’ actions are a threat to humanity
