The rich threatened to leave New York and take their business elsewhere if Zohran Mamdani became mayor, but the Manhattan office market just recorded its best first quarter in a decade. "Yes doing things takes tax revenue, but IT RETURNS." For everyone. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social #nzpol

We have 87% renewable power in NZ why are we paying so much and increasingly more for our electricity ? Also,unrelated news, gentailer record profits.. #nzpol

Are you searching for dragons?

You just gotta let scientists be weird little nerds in their weird little niche interest areas and accept that the benefits to the wider community, and thus to The Economy, will flow naturally from that

Are you searching for dragons?

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I keep going back to when I was teaching in Wgtn & I took my 4th form / Year 10 kids to a sitting of Parliament "Mr L C if we behaved this poorly in class we'd be in detention all day long" Out of the mouths of babes

I took election pamphlets to Foodbank to check everyone was on the roll. It was easy & they were receptive & thankful. They didn’t realise election day enrolment wont happen this year. 1 woman was taken off the roll so appreciated the reminder. Cld you do this somewhere? #nzpol

It was so windy today my beanie blew right off my head. One second it was there, and the next it was flying across Wellington.

this cannot stand.

We are in a full on dictatorship, rivaling the most entrenched ones in the world. Anti ICE activists, who printed a zine, are labeled “terrorist” and sentenced to 30-100 years in federal prison. By this metric we’re all targets. Genuinely chilling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

BREAKING NYT: A New York City panel just voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments — fulfilling one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's key campaign promises and handing the mayor a major policy win six months into his tenure.

Ferries, lunches, EVs, housing: trashing common sense policies, good for NZ, that made good economic long term sense out of spite, ideology and venality #NZPol #DemolitionCoalition destroying NZ one policy at a time while they funnel your money to their donors.

BOOM! The public outcry in NZ over the Luxon govt’s plan to sell off conservation land has been huge. We’ve made it clear that conservation land is too precious to mine and Luxon’s lot are BACKING DOWN! But it’s not over. Shane Jones and others will fight for the miners and loggers.

“We’ve only had 114 years to do something, let our kids sort it out!”

New Zealanders are being ripped off. While you’re paying through the roof, the super-rich make record profits. The @greens.org.nz tax plan will mean: 🟢The super-rich & big corporations pay their share, 🟢 Reduced tax on nearly all salaried workers, 🟢 Fund the critical services that we all rely on.

This could be you! 💚😎 Come learn about our campaign and all the different ways you can be involved!

Potaka announcement not enough, scrap Conservation Bill says Greenpeace www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto... #nzpol #oursnotmine

Not to mention that there were so many things that were already in place for the electric transition that were broken and/or rolled back by this government. As individual policy this may be a good idea, but yeah, not in the context of what this government did over the past term.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

little PSA about my webworm project! feeling proud of what it's doin recently, but it's an odd time and wanted to get some thoughts down!

I've mapped the "bits and bobs" of public conservation land the govt wants to sell. And to achieve that, they just happen to be changing the law to make 60% of the conservation estate more vulnerable to disposal. melanienelson.substack.com for more articles & interviews dropping this week

24,000 voices got their submission in on the Conservation (Exploitation) Amendment Bill over the last weekend alone! And our petition is at over 48,000 signatures and counting 😱👏👏🌏🌳🐧 Keep the pressure on. Force this Government to sink this bill, just like their harmful Fisheries bill ✊️ Links below!

Green MPs and candidates are fielding some OTG responses on FB & IG. on the plus side, many NZers are finally learning how progressive tax rates work 👍 🤦 @tamathapaul @greens.org.nz #nzpol

Record numbers of young people are leaving this country because they feel like they don't have a future here. Wealth inequality is near universally understood as a bad thing, except by the very rich. The status quo, or minor adjustments won't work to fix these issues. Ask Michael Savage.

Social media bans are a great way to keep up appearances while avoiding to ACTUALLY regulate tech billionares so they can keep destroying humanity in the name of greed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxRB...

Looking forward to seeing this later today Party vote Green💚 #nzpol

This looks good. Bumping the limits up beyond the old $2mil mark for super-rich tax will make the middle class (including those nowhere near having $2mil net worth) feel like they are not being targeted. #nzpol

Mike Smith is taking action against corporate lobbying and Government interference! Cloak and dagger lobbying by Fonterra persuaded the Government to attempt to shut down Mike Smith's court case, which attempts to hold companies like Fonterra accountable for their climate pollution. #nzpol
