What’s that, Dale? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.

It’s impossible to take this government seriously over online harm whilst it remains on X.

aaaaand sadly, once again, they’re biting. #nzpol

And then he'll post about it on a website rigged to help Nazis and post non-consensual pornography.

This is SOLID reporting from Emily and every working NZ journo who's regurgitated this government's propaganda about "low attendance" or "tackling truancy" or framed the issue as Tough-Talking David Seymour vs Lazy Teacher Unions should sit down and take some goddamn notes

I hate to use this word but this is a scoop: parents are being fined and chased by schools for having unwell, dying, and disabled children. Some have been fined of threatened for - among other things - keeping kids home when a parent has died. www.emilywrites.co.nz/parents-fine...

#nzpol OIO has approved an application by American cattle factory farming giant to set up shop on 288 hectares in the outer reaches of Kenepuru. Industrial cruelty, pollution and offshoring profits. This is what this government is planning for us all www.farmersweekly.co.nz/news/sheep-a...

Climate communicators rely on Bluesky more than 6x more than they rely on Elon Musk's X, for climate info 👍🏽

Trump meltdown, gets called out for lying, calls the reporter crooked and stupid, and runs away abruptly. Trump: "Your elections in this country are crooked! we are like a third-world country, your elections are crooked!" "Your" elections? "Your" country? 🤔

‘Councils were being asked to carry a national problem on local balance sheets and that could not carry on.’

This should be the other way around, surely? Hollowed out institutions can't regulate what they're simultaneously being asked to run, esp. with increasingly less human resources. Deploying AI w/out accountability a recipe for disaster. newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/22/a... @legallyfeminist.bsky.social

Ivanka Trump didn't just buy an island amid a struggling economy, she "tangibly manifested" it

We have a bullying problem at universities. People like this aren't being bullied enough.

Just putt it out there that if, after the Marcroft anti trans Bill, you think NZFirst and NACT won’t come for gay marriage or abortion next you aren’t paying attention. #NZPol

Sadly, an emotional junior staffer circumvented controls in place and received a document, they then produced policy, proceeded with legislation and then the emotional junior staffer passed it in the house. We have all learned a great deal from this. #nzpol

Can't even throw the staffer under the bus coz his govt cancelled public transport... #nzpol #NationalNotFitToGovern #OneTermGovernment #Election26 #DitchThePricks

New York moves fast — our buses should too. The new 34th Street busway will relieve bus congestion on one of our City's busiest corridors, delivering faster, more reliable bus service and a safer, more efficient street for everyone who depends on it.

The European Union has moved forward with an overhaul of its migration policy, aiming to ramp up deportations and build detention centers abroad. Critics compared the regulation to the immigration strategy of the Trump administration. n.pr/43HqkoR

I've closely followed the Patagonia v. Pattie Gonia saga & this excellent piece cleared up many of my questions - especially about whether companies really have no choice but to sue to protect their trademarks I especially appreciate the perspective from Patagonia scholars on corporate colonialism

When I look at what Zohran Mamdani is doing as mayor, I’m jealous of New Yorkers | Arwa Mahdawi Sure, he’s not perfect, but on libraries, childcare and potholes, he’s getting the job done. Why can’t more politicians give a damn?Some people buy a motorbike when they have a midlife crisis....

Help sweet Sama’a with her difficulties in Gaza!

High tide theory is a good way to describe an austerity government. They announce that everyone will be drowned at high tide. Predictable response. They counter with only some will drown, calculating the precise number or demographic it is acceptable to drown. Drowning becomes a compromise position.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

Help Mahmood! His area is under heavy bombing & his son is badly sick. Boost & give to them!

The DNC should sponsor a Kevin Hassett media tour this fall in the lead-up to the midterms:

"Government says its policy is good, opposition says the policy is bad" now that's what i call ~journalism~

“We reject the discrimination & attempts at exclusion of trans people in the name of our safety.For decades, biology has been used by politicians as an argument to deny women the vote, to deny gay couples’ right to be together, to control women’s bodies, & to deny people their basic freedoms” #nzpol

OMG what could possibly go wrong? #nzpol

When Blair and his tech billionaires come with demands to pay workers less, the Labour government caves in 48 hours Workers rights are not rights at all unless applied to one and all. Pay all workers the same rate for the same job. Now.

Racism is an economic project. @tinangata.bsky.social continues her Budget series, showing "what *could* be afforded, if NZ govt simply chose Tiriti justice, and chose to be antiracist - rather than CHOOSING to extract from the many, in order to benefit the few." #nzpol tinangata.com/2026/05/24/t...

This should be a train. What sort of train could you build for $1.8 billion? #nzpol
