Power to the Trans people.

The Green Party who actually have a plan for the future #nzpol www.greens.org.nz/green_budget...

I think that Cushla should be the leader of the Labour Party. ‘Push for Cush’ was the best slogan She seems chill She has some cool relatives She presented a coherent vision of what the Labour Party is and identified the one thing the Labour Party actually must do (mobilise voters).

Low key love it when I listen to house music and they put the word ’house‘ in it. Like ye that’s what it is!

if you send me money i will write you a short song on a topic of your choosing, and the money will fund the pussy surgery industry

Labour Party mofos the type of people to make kids have one lolly each at the lolly scramble.

Primary school principal energy is definitely going to get the people going.

If you give this artist money, I’ll use the money to keep making art AND donate a portion to care for the environment and plant native trees, and you could argue genAI does the opposite

Chlöe Swarbrick will be a fantastic Minister of Finance.

Made up bullshit to limit the capacity of the government to intervene in the economy so that the democratic will of the people over the economy is further dominated by the power of capital shouldn’t be the core of the Labour Party‘s electoral platform.

The problem with that Whamageddon thing is that Last Christmas is a stone cold banger and trying to avoid it proves that you don't truly understand the meaning of the season, to celebrate our Lord and Savior, Saint George Michael.

Okay but this is going to be crazy when the bubble bursts and all these resources have to go on bargain bin sale. It’s going to be less good when half of the ram cartel crashes in to hell and production growth is permanently negatively impacted.

Y’ALL. PATHA RELEASED THE NEW GENDER AFFIRMING CARE GUIDELINES. THE ONES THE GOVT SUPPRESSED GET IN IT patha.nz/resources-an...

Ricing my iPhone

On that note, if anyone wants an excuse to avoid the carnage that will be Ikea I’m not planning on going there because they enable the illegal occupation of Palestinian land by delivering furniture to settlers. bdsmovement.net/news/ikea-co...

Determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You've got a conference this weekend, @nzlabour peeps. Someone better have a talk to this guy. #nzpol

We gotta be out next year trying to enroll people and getting them to update their enrolments. Voter suppression must be met with voter mobilisation

Going to start the Anti-Chris party and run on the single issue that no mother fucker named Chris is allowed to be Prime Minister or even sit in cabinet.

Your deputy literally already promised motherfucker.

If I was national I’d just call up Andrew Little and get him to pick a leader.

I really think the North Americans are correct to shorten it to ‘math’ and not ‘maths’.

The large growth in demand for 2 year fixed term mortgages over the past 6 months indicates that borrowers are maybe getting better financial advice that the Minister

I’ve been a Labour hater for many years but it feels like it’s getting to the point where they’re not worthy of constructive hate anymore and where they’re still very far away from the ‘ICU when I see you’ hate that I feel for the likes of David Seymour.

Devastating to be a socialist in a country where you have to advocate for at least doing capitalism somewhat properly. Like for the love of god someone buy something which more efficiently produces *something*.

"For most of his career, Guyatt says, he felt his responsibility was only to “put out good science.” But campaigns like SEGM’s, critiques from the student activists, and the present climate, have changed his mind: Right now, he says, “it’s being used for nefarious purposes.” " #nzpol

Oh shit it’s Whangārei

The government is asking doctors to commit a crime by denying young people access to puberty blockers. I hope doctors read the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022. Culture wars have casualties 😢😡🤢 #nzpol

I’m catching up on the Roblox drama and like, if evil capitalists who wanted to predate on the vulnerability of children for money were running the town square, the park and the playground the sensible thing would not be to ban kids from public places.

Why do these forecasts remind me of being a kid with a fucking crack addict father always promising more and more absurdly that things will definitely get better soon.

This about sums up the state of play. #nzpol

My father was recently named in the Newspaper for similar crimes – and this is not ideal for me and some members of my family to be associated with that. However, the benefits that he will always be associated with that and that anyone else who was victimised by him can see that now are so worth it.

Oh, I’m sure that it will be chill that people have built their houses on sand in this area to remove a whole lot of sand. I’m sure that will be real chill. Engineers definitely have a well established history of understanding the dynamics of sand in the greater Whangārei area.

It’s so stupid though, because we’ve had this but we also have LWDW (the not three waters thing) and the regional deals thing and all four of these things could easily be just one fucking thing but they’re not.

Alt text: @chrishipkins.bsky.social stands in front of burning trans and tino rangatiratanga flags, leaning away in fear from a fire extinguisher being offered. He is saying "wo! Wo! Wo! Are you sure? Let's not be radical... Maybe take an internal poll first? Or like, give it to someone else to do"

There’s a conventional idea in activist politics in AoNZ that your activist movement/activism must be divorced from a political party. I grew up with this being said around me all the time. Older activists used to say ‘apolitical’. But like, I’m like what is the historical basis for this?

WOULDN'T WANT TO SPOOK MIDDLE NEW ZEALAND.

It’s a time honoured tradition in Aotearoa that when there’s a big guy pushing you around, you have a few beers and you go up to that cunt and you say ‘Oi, one outs’ and hope like hell he walks away – I think there’s something in that for now and future Ministers of Foreign Affairs,

#nzpol THE FIGHT'S NOT OVER for Uber drivers and their unions, despite their victory in the Supreme Court last week. The Government is looking to pass the Employment Relations Amendment Bill (ERAB) which will redefine contractor law in line with Uber's wish list.

Winston Peters is what happens when you take the slogan ‘by any means necessary’ and forget to assign a purpose to it

It’s very important to remember that the Puberty Blocker Ban was a decision of cabinet. All cabinet ministers are implicated in this decision. Not just Simeon, bot just Winston. Every single one.

I feel like Chris Hipkins in reaction to National is like either: *angry teacher voice*: I’m glad they’ve had a good idea, I wish they had done this earlier Or *angry teacher voice*: This might be a good idea and if it is I hope it’s successful Or 🤐

Sometimes when I eat Japanese food I enjoy it so much that I wonder if we would have been better off today if we’d allowed imperial Japan to occupy us during the War instead of the Americans. (probably it would have been shit, but the food is that good)

AI has made transphobic people more annoying huh?

Yea, when an engine is coughing and stuttering and the needle has been sitting in E for a while my solution is always just to siphon off a bit more petrol. Everyone knows that gas in the tank is the worst thing. What you actually want to do is siphon it off and then give it to some guy with too much

I heard about someone who apparently wasn’t trans calling this ban and I assume other policies impacting on the community ’an end to trans joy’ but I say that in order to destroy trans joy in Aotearoa they will need to lock me in chains and drag me away, and I dare a motherfucker to try.

Luxon is a cowardly little bitch who shakes in his boots instead of even attempting to live up to the example of his supposed lord and saviour who as I understand it would was the feet of the homeless people if he was hanging out on queen street.

Noting the block the ban protest on the 7th for Aucklanders. I would add donate money to Rainbow Youth, Gender Minorities Aotearoa or any other organisation which provides support to our gender diverse young people. Donate money and/or time to a political party committed to reversing this ban.

Anyone who doesn’t party vote Green on TPM at the coming election is not a trans ally unless: 1) Labour makes the same position clear & 2) Labour rules out any agreement with NZFirst.

Low key I do think an incentive to polyamory is that millennials and genZs for various reasons are bad at making friends and sex and dating are the two easiest ways to meet people.

People are always saying shit like ‘we need to increase the amount people are saving into KiwiSaver because we need to reduce reliance on superannuation’ and it’s like what possible justification is there for that?
