"I’m doing this because a few months ago, my son asked me why the government hates Māori. I don’t want my son to grow up feeling like he is hated by the government, or that being Māori is a scary thing." | @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social: “It wasn’t bots, it was us.” e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

5 of my takeaways from last night's kōrero with te toa reo Māori Rāwinia Higgins on the Regulatory Standards Bill and it's impact on te Reo Māori:

Not Musk thinking it's hot news to share that Trump is a perv. After ignoring the millions of people saying that and helping him into power. "So guys, turns out he's a perv". That ain't a bomb you dick. That's who you served the presidency to.

Just having my morning tea, reflecting on the racist way in which conversations about constitutional change are handled in this country.

Tania Waikato makes some sound points. If we get enough submissions opposing, along with significant political pressure, then we may just be setting the scene for a snap election. tinangata.com/2025/05/31/s...

If you want to create a government that is permanently open to corporate corruption, removing all accountability mechanisms is the way to go.

Not Paddy Gower characterising human rights abuse and denial of the right to exist as a difference of opinion. GTFOH with that ytaf take.

Unfortunate to hear about cases of harassment, even assault against recall petitioners www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

This was the first time China jailed a Taiwanese person on a charge of trying to break up its territory. In recent years, Chinese prosecutors have levelled the charge against Uighurs, a minority group in the restive far western region of Xinjiang. www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-as...

Boebert: Is it true that you admitted to being "'round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain" and that you "Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate"? Morley: I think you're confusing the Rolling Stones with Oliver Stone

Looking forward to this important discussion xx

I kinda❤️how Paul Moon gets the most basic facts about the Doctrine of Discovery wrong. Like when/where/how it started. Real 101 stuff. Then his fanbase repost it and they all show their asses together it's😘🤌. Meanwhile anyone who's attended just one of my introductory workshops can defeat it.

"Chomsky’s views, like those of many American leftists, simply see no other evil in the world apart from the US and fail to recognize the realities of other imperial powers aside from America." newbloommag.net/2022/08/25/j...

So many tripping over four faithful winning #TheTraitorsUS. It's never happened so I loved it. Finally an ending where people trusted each other and it worked out. How boring it would have been to have another ending like all the others. Hungussing for distrust an deceit is SO American

Some days I can't help but appreciate how FB edits the thumbnail

Hollywood directors that make up to $2million dollars a movie: "Hey you guys, theaters are struggling and its up to us to save them all. Please stop streaming movies and go to the theaters."

Australian National Gallery can get fkd. It's all of us or none of us. Free Palestine. ✊❤️🤍🖤💚

I personally don't think guy williams got owned. I was grateful for his questions, regardless of Seymours response. Still, if it helps those confronting him, here is an analysis of his TPB submission, which serves as an analysis of his media talking points. vt.tiktok.com/ZSMe531xe/

My reflections on Waitangi Day: 1. Those organisers are amazing. That was an epic event on a massive scale, broaching challenging topics in a politically tense context. This was just another example of how amazing our people are at organising - and this was on an epic scale.

Every now and then I consider how some Indigenous brethren have come to perceive Black Americans as a separate community rather than the survivors of our worst colonial nightmares (ie being forcibly, permanently relocated from our lands and families) and my mind is blown all over again.
