Trump has a tantrum and gets his own way every single time, even though the advert was factually accurate and fair. 😡 World leaders need to get a grip, get together and stand up to the playground bully.

Yep, it’s the food stamps.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (Netflix): Terrifying, especially given the unprincipled, waffling nitwit in the White House.

The White House just issued a sweeping federal directive transforming how dissent might be policed in the US—here’s why civil liberties groups are so alarmed.

A reminder today that this government is anti-worker and they want to cancel Labour Day

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally wrecking the White House to build a ballroom for his billionaire allies. It's the perfect symbol for his presidency.

It's a Farce Track. #nzpol

The Luxon Govt’s bonkers plan to build 17 Big New Roads that we don’t really need will cost us at least $44 billion. That’s enough to rebuild Dunedin Hospital 23 times over or to massively improve public transport and cycle infrastructure in all our cities. #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/23/5...

More brains than the entire decomposing bunch of them put together.

And you haven't even mentioned trashed the environment and gone backwards on emissions!

So lemme get this right, we burned 50k jobs, lost 90k citizens, fucked the energy, retail, hospo, manufacturing businesses, murdered worker rights and equal pay, set fire to public services and threw the entire health service in the dumpster And we didnt fix inflation? #Nzpol

So, we are driving down the road at 50 or 6o or what ever the speed limit is, and they want us to whip out our phone and take a photo of a pothole - are they stupid or something? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... #nzpol

umm. that aged well

given that this government doesn't want public healthcare and is drooling of the possibilities of selling out our hospitals I am going to suggest being the landlord of a hospital is the best path

Seymour's contempt for the democratic process and disdain for people's concerns communicated in the 99% of submissions opposing the Regulatory Standards Bill are staggering. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/10/l...

No Kings!

Man Chlöe is so good! #nzpol

Labour Future Fund and NZ First Fund are very different - Winston's version was about cutting taxes for offshore investors and bringing more foreign capital in. Labour's is based on NZ capital, generating returns for Kiwis and protecting asset - I'm surprised no media has picked it up #nzpol #kiwi

This is a catastrophic decision. On the eve of #COP30, Brazil puts on a green facade on the international stage, yet stains itself with oil at home. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

ACT's Tim Jago who sexually abused minors under his care, is now in court for another indecent assault. NZ Herald DECLINES to name Jago despite the Court allowing it. #nzpol

OMG! This is the most accurate depiction of him and his “presidency” that I have seen yet! Haha!!! He crowned himself King, steals the valor &might of our brave men &women in our military when he is a DRAFT DODGER, he literally shits on EVERY AMERICAN, &everything about him is FAKE! *Chef’s kiss*

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

So what excuse does Israel now have for not letting foreign journalists into Gaza?

⚡️NEW from Drop Site News: “We may have survived physically, but we haven't survived mentally.” Five Gaza journalists reflect on the toll of the genocide as the ceasefire takes effect. www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-journ...

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Liz truss levels of incompetence. Same ideology too

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Just your regular reminder that Chris Bishop is both chair of the National Party Campaign Committee, dependent on donations from businesses for a successful campaign, and the Infrastructure Minister, who decides if businesses get to access the RMA fast track process.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Exactly this

You can never appease a tyrant.

What I'd just say to you is, when I chose a Minister of Finance I wanted someone with a heart but Nicola convinced me it wasn't necessary. #LyinLuxon #WorstPMEver #WorstFinanceMinEver #CoalitionofGhouls #NZpol

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

Poll on Stuff #nzpol

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

"A 2018 study examining health expenditure and health outcomes across many nations concluded that instead of shifting funds to private healthcare, the best way to improve health is to focus on improving equitable access and quality of care within the publicly funded health system"

So why are we doing this as a country? Very simply because it will make private health companies richer, and they have effectively lobbied the government to convince them that 'getting more operations done privately' is a simple fix to reduce waiting lists. But IT WILL NOT work in a complex system

We know this from the USA which is a giant natural experiment in privatised healthcare. They spend vastly more than any other OECD country for far worse health outcomes. Studies looking at a wider range of countries find the same result. ourworldindata.org/grapher/life...

Simeon Brown is forcing Health NZ to sign 10 year contracts with private hospitals - meaning it will be very difficult for a future government to back out of the contracts. But the evidence is clear, privatised healthcare costs more and delivers worse outcomes: www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-...

UK, Canada, Australia & 26 other countries have signed a joint statement calling for unimpeded humanitarian aid access to #Gaza. NZ has not signed it. This is beyond embarrassing. It’s utterly disgraceful. People are starving. Where is our govt’s moral compass?

Good night 🌙 and….

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

Exactly

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Luxon is such a grifter, not content with giving himself a 10.5% pay rise and taking him to the near $600K band, he is also charging rent to Kiwis at a rate 3 times more than comparable politicians. And that goes into his own pocket! Say it again, with me folks - grifter Luxon #grifterluxon #nzpol

Please donate if you can! 🙏🏻

My prescription cost me $15 today, I can afford it, but I know that cost would mean the difference between getting it or not for a lot of families. The first step of many toward worse health outcomes and higher overall health costs. More penny wise but pound foolish bullshit from the COC #nzpol
