Motherhood costs Danish women an average of $120,000 in earnings over two decades, according to a sociologist who researches family and economics. Generous government benefits like paid leave, childcare and child allowances recovered about $100,000 of that loss. buff.ly/pAtuCS0

Kāpiti peeps have a fabulous opportunity to send a double whammy to the current government (as well as the chance to yeet the odious prick Costley into the sun) Vote for Sophie and party vote Green💚 #nzpol

A little bit more authoritarian with your democracy, sir? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Brian Boyd also supported the Listener 7 and their ignorant retrograde views on matauranga Māori, just saying

NGL this description of Bsky in Vulture cracked me up

The anti-woke vanguardists at NZ First have now taken to defending "our Judeo-Christian heritage" @altnamackin.bsky.social #nzpol

Been thinking about the whyte Australian woman who named her athleisure wear company Aroha - a kupu Māori that she can't pronounce correctly - because her stepdaughter has whakapapa Māori & she thought she had a right to appr. it. She is currently doubling down cause self awareness isn't her thing.

And evil appears to live eternal.

You can fck right off you absolute toerag. Dealing with fascists to sell off the very whenua that nourished your tūpuna?

I'm still mad about this - see the full list of cut projects from the money taken from climate polluters, which would help adaptation and mitigation efforts of the recent weather events, including $900M from the Emergency Response Fund - now frittered away. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Metaphorically - the ‘Coalition’ November 2016 #nzpol

Another love letter to Pōneke - we're blessed to be nourished by this whenua. I am a bit late this year cause the world's a lot at the mo' - but these are some of the things I saw in 2025. *And I can't wait to boot this government out in November. I am indeed so done with them.

The way these people really went from capitalism is the best system to provide all of the things to “eat less”.

Shocker that I haven’t seen any of the articles glazing Collins career mention she was the party leader that forced the National party to vote against the conversion practices bill in order to make sure parents could still do conversion practices on their kids

Wonderful Depictions have begun to spill out of our cartoonists! this one from @lartist.bsky.social

This thread that you started @mehr.nz hits the nail on the head. Not sure if you know about Nicky Hager's book 'Dirty Politics', but it is a good read. Collins is a dastardly feature in it. Hager won every defamation suit brought against what he wrote in that book.

She was almost 90 before she received any recognition for her work. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/s...

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

Talofa Judith. Hate your work.

Evergreen reminder that this was something she came up with, not something she was advised to do. In fact she was pretty specifically advised it was a terrible idea (it was) but she went ahead with it anyway because something something Not Real Science

Remember Topham-Guerin…anyone? #nzpol #Election2026

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

What could go wrong?

I have some good news to share. Because of people like you, The Onion, Stan Kelly and @raygunsite.com raised $27,600 for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota solely on sales of these Sinister Minnesotans shirts. Thank you so much for buying these. You can buy more shirts or donate directly here:

If Noem et al get the boot is this like Trump's night of knives lite?

In today’s NZ Herald

Border Patrol shot someone in Arizona this morning outside Arivaca. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are not unusual. Border Patrol agents have killed hundreds of people over the past few years. We know about Renee and Alex because Border Patrol was deployed in a city, in front of cameras.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

I reckon it must be wild to be a US citizen born & bred on a diet of we're the best, the freest etc, we have our constitution & our guns to protect us, & then they find themselves in a place where they've discovered it's all pretty much a lie & that lie is enmeshed into their very skin and bones.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

The thing about shutting down a strategic fund for climate resilience is that not only does it let you give the money away in tax cuts, but your ad hoc responses also mean you get to look like you’re handing out largesse in an election year too.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

We are raising a nation of dumbasses. It’s on purpose

🦠 Nipah outbreak Nipah virus outbreaks have high fatality rates, in the 40-70% range. The latest outbreak is in eastern India. Five cases are reported, and 100 people are under quarantine. Several Asian countries are reported to be stepping up alertness. 1/2

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

the mood is not subtle

This post calling Noem her friend is still up on Judith Collins facebook by the way, and there really aren't ANY good reasons at this point as to why NZ media aren't constantly pressuring her about it

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

In New Zealand the Minister for Sport and Recreation is (unfortunately) Mark Mitchell, if you'd like to light up his inbox. [email protected] #nzpol

Makes my heart glad to know one of my fav bands are who I thought they were - fighting the fasc 🥰 *And I get to see them in a couple of months!!

solidarity forever

This is embarrassing and we are fucking doomed.

#nzpol Data released by Stats NZ today shows that the cost of living rose at its fastest rate for 18 months. Prices rose for 80% of items in the CPI basket, meaning growth in prices was broad-based. Minimum wage workers are now facing a 3rd year of real terms cuts in wages. A thread
