People in Aotearoa NZ need actions to prevent sexual violence, like work done by RespectEd. Promises of tinkering with sentences of convicted offenders after NZ election does nothing to help survivors and targets now! If National cared, it'd fund prevention work! #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Melbourne/Naarm yet again showed up in numbers for Palestine this Nakba Day, in defiance of so much grotesque complicity from our government. From the river to the sea.

"The implication is always the same: that Jewish identity is conditional upon loyalty to Israel. This is deeply dangerous. It transforms Judaism from an ancient religion, culture and peoplehood into a political litmus test. It also implicates all Jews in support of Israel’s crime." #auspol

Just like with the Ferries? #nzpol

Paul Goldsmith's 'If you don’t like it, switch it off' fails to consider the many situations where people can't switch it off, incl. workplaces & businesses. Broadcasting standards are safeguards for all, and help prevent/rein in spread of bigotry, misinfo & disinfo. Vital in election year. #nzpol

if you don't send your kids to the factory you'll be left behind by the industrial revolution!

i don't think i've ever signed as many petitions or made as many submissions opposing the government as i have under this bunch of fascist cunts. swear to Lorde, they'd better be voted out in November or the stress might actually kill me. that or the poverty. #nzpol

i misread this as 'How to cage sex birds' and was sad for the randy flying dinosaurs. say no to cages; let them be free to fly, and to sex.

It’s always the people whose ancestors didn’t learn the language or customs or culture, stole lands, and murdered people, who drone on about “social stability” like bro you are the mirror for instability.

Latest Waitangi Tribunal #ManaWahine Kaupapa Inquiry hearings are being held in Wgtn this week. Last week they were on Te Tai Tokerau marae. On Thursday, Tamatha Paul @greens.org.nz will give evidence. She posted this tonite. I think it's incredibly important for everyone to read.

Christopher Luxon is a feckless patsy for the people who are really running the country - Peters and Seymour (and Atlas Network). #nzpol

A pretty demonstrably bad democracy when the kidnapping of a NZ citizen by the US inspires zero concern - across the board. If this had happened during Jacinda Ardern’s term NZ media would have followed her every move until this was resolved. The silence - and the complicity - is very loud. #nzpol

sitting here smiling about how convos with my kid used to be about lego, shiny stuff, trains, meerkats, and their endless questions about life & the world. today, we talked about their new relationship, work, music and their gym routine. the topics have evolved but still the same love & laughter.

Under Luxon's New Zealand, democracy is where 5 submissions are considered in support of dissolving the Ministry for the Environment, while 583 submissions OPPOSING its dissolution are put aside and noted as a statistic. Aotearoa deserves a better government than this. #nzpol

i wonder if Chris Hipkins is paying attention to how badly moving to the right is going for UK Labour. grovelling to people who won't ever vote for him while ignoring those who might is not a winning strategy. #ukpol #nzpol

Chris Bishop is responsible for this. I never want to hear anyone say anything positive about that guy again #nzpol

Proud mama. Cute duckling. What more do we need? 🪶 🐣

They’re pulling out all the stops to win the election, and they’ve just ensured a chilling effect on anyone thinking about calling them out - on anything. People can’t vote against behaviour/decisions that aren’t in their best interest if the only topics reported are verbatim press releases. #nzpol

Our team has finally managed to dig into #kakapo Rimu's cliff-top nest on Te Kākahu. We knew there was at least one chick inside, and that it had a high chance of falling to its death when it left. The cliff-side hole has been blocked and new entrance made. Pic: Daryl Eason #kakapo2026 #conservation

New Zealand Values are white men getting well paid careers that they're obviously not good enough to do. New Zealand's baseline value is White Male Mediocrity.

AoNz has one of the highest youth suicide rates in OECD countries,&high rates of bullying. “It’s all very well to say, here’s some self-care, but if you’re in a school where bullying in a variety of forms is very prominent and you don’t feel safe, self-care is really blaming the victim,” #nzpol

🧵My take here is that the coalition government has decided to abolish the BSA because it has advice that the authority's assertion that the Broadcasting Act gives it jurisdiction over online broadcasting is well-founded and would prevail in a court. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

my knee has been quite sore and i've been worrying about what that might mean given i'd only just had a steroid injection in January. before making an appt with my GP, i double-checked the date and turned out it was January but in 2025. so no scary knee issue, just lost a whole year there somewhere.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. Here's a pic of everyone currently available. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

#NZvoters please remember the vulnerability of our ecosystems when you cast your votes on 7 November 2026! Wetlands are not only homes to endangered species, they're also flood protection. Wetlands protect neighbouring areas from rain and flood overflows. 🌊🌱🌿🦗🐸 #NZpol

Thinking about how people have been (loudly) warning about David Seymour for the last decade and how media consistently platformed him as a Dancing with the Stars lovable twerking goofball and now are consistently platforming his policy verbatim without context or critique. Not an ideal pattern, eh.

Yeah. Show me the AI evangelists where the AI has correctly told them they’re uneducated and incompetent.

If the problem is universal superannuation might be paid to billionaires, why is your answer means testing instead of taxing the shit out of billionaires

What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

i think a lot about how american christianity and christianity are just, at this point, two fully distinct religions

New Zealand says "fuck no!" although our trump-loving suck-up of a Prime Minister will no doubt ignore public opinion. again. #nzpol

A cool thing you can do if you're criticising Israel is just not mention Jews at all. Like, you don't actually have to talk about anyone's religion at any point.

quote posts are like. hey nice post. make it all about me though

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

#nzpol Curious (being polite) that an email tiff between the PM and the FM is seen as causing waymore strife than NZ supporting illegal war that includes the bombing of schoolchildren😥.

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

last election, most of our media ignored red flags, lies & empty promises, did little actual investigative journalism, and basically helped NACTNZF bullshit their way into government. and looking at some of the rubbish passed off as reporting recently, it seems they want to help them again. #nzpol
