When my daughter was in NICU the nurses were on strike. She is now seven and the nurses are still striking, fighting for the same things now that they were then. If you’re tired of nurses striking then just imagine how tired nurses must be of having to strike for their needs to be met.

Looking at LOTR things for a Father’s Day gift and tell me why non-licensed merch is priced outrageously simply bc it’s LOTR. If you’re unofficial (ie: bootleg) then you should be at bootleg prices.

Tonight my children and I read from “Young, Gifted & Black” learning about Louis Armstrong, Rosa Parks and Alexandre Dumas. When discussing Rosa Parks I had to stop myself from saying “a long time ago” bc it really was not — she passed in 2005. Only 20 years ago.

Yesterday, New Zealand Police revealed they didn't start investigating the espionage soldier until after March 15. Several anti-fascist researchers reported his online activity to the New Zealand Defence Force prior to the Christchurch massacre. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/marc...

Trigger Alert: The article flags big concerns about NZ Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet that disestablished 3 dedicated counter-terrorism roles and merged staff into a broader group, and reduced capacity. From my viewpoint, it certainly feels like NZ govt repeating same mistakes. 🧵1/6
