There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another

#nzpol 🤬🎯💯💯💯 Don't let this government's cover-ups and smoke and mirrors BS go unchallenged. Speak up for those who are being erased from statistical records, police focus, and front-line funding, e.g: Domestic Violence Family Harm School Violence Mental Health Violence Sexual Violence Bullying

#NZpol FURTHER, condescending replies often go "So just get any job, start at the bottom!" Fire / Frying Pan / Fire... they call it "choice". "Precarity colonises and appropriates a person’s life totally... People become 'crisis managers' for their families, knowing the crisis might never end."

In my quote post below, I refer to A Ban on Contraceptive Pills just like Puberty Blockers. That's not a joke, it's history. HT @alranz.bsky.social #NZpol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History... And pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Minister of Health Simeon Brown is the most militant #antichoice politician in the perfect role to ban #abortion given the chance. He has not changed his views on abortion at all, no matter the evidence that #abortionishealthcare. His religion mandates he ban abortion. Vote them out #nzpol #Luxon

Can I just point out that these warnings are far, far from empty alarmism. Look at the states. Repro rights orgs started warning people years ago as the antis chipped away at our rights until finally Roe v Wade fell. We can’t let it happen here. We need a new govt. #nzpol

#nzpol Pay attention, Aotearoa New Zealand, because our politicians sure as hell aren't.

Taking stuff away to offer it back as election incentives knowing the NZ voter has a bloody short memory 🤬

The banning of gender affirming care/ puberty blockers for trans kids is a TEST. This Luxon-led coalition is seeing how much pushback they receive on this issue to figure out how to ban abortion & contraception next term. They're anti-choice, they will act on this. #nzpol #abortion #pubertyblockers

A true side note: Prince cared deeply about food insecurity, and would routinely make substantial donations to local food banks and community kitchens in every town that he would play in during his later tours. Sometimes they would ask for supplies & his team would show up with huge amounts of food.

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

And it's just a nothingski announcement after they already cut it at the budget.. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This is from 2018, but I guarantee you, there's still a solid chunk of stuff you read about AI now that is:

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National. Don't believe National on Kiwisaver. #nzpol

So after ruining the economy and making the cost of living worse, making thousands of people unemployed and moving to Australia, National Party getting dumpster fired in political polls, their announcement today is to force people to lock away more of their earnings? 😐 #nzpol

...Nats struggling to accept two liberals at the top of the ticket will not accept three. Willis...might need to go from that role...the coup would eject Willis from the deputy position, would probably destroy one of the strongest friendships in contemporary politics. #NZPol

As much as I cackle at the idea of Nats being left with nothing but a massively diminished Act as a friend, I fuckin' hate Winston and everything he stands for #NZPol

So the Police Minister knew, or ought to have known, about the devious deeds of his departmental leadership, and if he did not know it was because he was intentionally kept in the dark by his staffers ... one of whom is his sister Now about the PM ... www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Is the lockdown because the "person of interest" is actually armed and a threat to public safety, or simply because police want to wave their dicks around? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Fishing road protest in Auckland on Saturday morning.

Privatisation always leads to higher costs and poorer services. Always.

About 10,000 insurance claims have been lodged as a result of the wild weather that battered New Zealand last month.

Thankfully nobody was hurt in the fire at the #COP30 climate talks. But now with reduced space, they could continue without the 1,600 Big Oil lobbyists that showed up? The discussion on fossil fuel phaseout might be more fruitful.

When organisations like @nzccl.org.nz warn that the law allowing data from congestion charging cameras to be shared with police & intelligence agencies is a surveillance risk to all our civil liberties, it’s not hyperbole.

I'll just note this inquiry has noted that with 20/20 hindsight the UK should have acted... pretty much exactly as New Zealand did. Which a good portion of NZ's media and political class have spent 5 revisionist years trying to paint as an overreaction. Overwhelmingly, it wasn't.

Pretty shocking to see the NZ reporting on this. Both the herald & stuff reprint the Telegraph reporting verbatim which plays up one aspect of the report - that very stringent non-lockdown measures early *might* have avoided or reduced the length of an necessary lockdown & downplays everything else.

I saw screenshots this morning of Trump threatening members of Congress with death for this video but I hadn't seen the video. So if, like me, you've been inadequately online this week, this is what Trump thinks is worthy of EXECUTION.

IT GETS WORSE STILL good lord talk about incompetent crisis management
