Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Watch Luxon not condemn America & Israel’s illegal attack on Iran…. #nzpol Thinking of all the ordinary people who will be killed, injured & traumatised by more war. It’s always the innocents that suffer the most. 🥺

see if you can spot when a select group of insiders found out about the current war on Iran:

Israel and the US are aiming at conducting at least four days of intense bombing of Iran. The assassination attempt on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei failed, and he was moved to a secure location. His residence & 30 other locations were struck, including presidential & intelligence buildings.

Israel is bombing Lebanon too, according to the Wall Street Journal

I know the temptation to joke about dying in World War III but try to remember that who almost always dies in wars of US imperialism are millions of Brown people

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

The National Party released most of its policies only weeks before the 2023 election, but demand Labour to release theirs now #nzpol Not only that, their costings didn't measure up - no surprise

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Called it. But then, so did everyone else.

I wrote about allegations by ANOTHER Epstein victim who said Trump raped her when she was 13 years old. The New Republic responded by writing multiple hit pieces on me. That other child rape case, and its court documents, are in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Story framed as solar doesn't work when it's a technical issue. This is such a bullshit and misleading headline #nzpol

Yep. A dilemma which seems to be getting worse day by day. There is, of course, a solution...

The general impression I seem to be getting (admittedly, from my blinkered social media mind you) is that the British political establishment (including a lot of the media there) appear really quite angry at the audacity that one not of their own succeeds in offering an actual alternative to folks.

Capitalists treat their people like disposable tissues

Hope won the Manchester By Election in Gorton and Denton. Hate came second. Lies came third.

Mike Hosking still tells half this nation what to think. #nzpol

In more good news, the far-right Advance UK party backed by Tommy Robinson received less votes in Gorton and Denton than Sir Oink A-Lot

Fuuuuuck Paul Goldsmith and his entire government and may they get wrapped in every shower curtain they encounter

BREAKING: UK Greens smash Reform and Labor to win the by-election in Manchester. This is real momentum and it’s how we defeat the racist right across the globe, with hope and confidence we can build a brighter and fairer future. 💚💚💚

14,980 - Greens 10,578 - Reform UK 9,364 - Labour Despite Labour's dirty tricks, they still lost to Reform UK Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and The Green Party 👏

The Greens took it! Hannah Spencer, a working class woman, overcame the bullshit of both the billionaire owned press and billionaire funded racism of Reform. Against all odds, she won on a message of authenticity, common sense and unity. This is historic and well deserved. Hats off.

Hello! I am Melissa a mixed media artist and illustrator. I made a series of cat collages and turned some into postcards. Here is my favorite. Check out my site for additional cat art, stickers, collage kits, and tee shirts. mrivdesigns.bigcartel.com/product/cats...

Smells like MAGA tactics….. #nzpol #ukpol

I hope NZ Labour is watching UK Labour and going "ooh wouldn't want to do that"

If you want, you can be a regular supporter of me stitching for my sanity. I have memberships on Kofi for $5 a mnth. I’ll post updates on pieces I’m working on & new pieces I’ll be trying. As a chronically ill person who can’t work, every bit helps. 💗 #CrossStitch #Kikorangi ko-fi.com/ciaraaxstitch

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Chris Bishop stopped social housing new builds; made the homeless crisis worse; crashing the building sector; declared a war on nature, helping national party donors; and his 'granny flat' rules are a mess. www.rnz.co.nz/news/thedeta...

🍃🌹🌿meanwhile #NZ #Greens “Green Budget” is fully costed & fantastic. Free GPs, Dentists & childcare. Less tax for over 90% of NZers, a little more for the richest few, who mostly avoid paying now, & the wealth tax is v similar to Australia’s! #nzpol #PartyVoteGreen www.greens.org.nz/green_budget...

Ok. My friend needs to pay $1500-$2k for many of her cat’s teeth out. She has one high special needs son and another younger girl. Life is bringing her way down. If you live in Ōtautahi/CHC, would you consider donating a bit if she comes to take family/ or furry whānau photos for you? Am gauging!

That lobbying seems to be working here… #nzpol

To the people of Gorton and Denton. Our arses are in your hands… #green #manchester #election #reformuk #comedy

Embracing physical media is a rejection of hyper modern digitalization. In short owning physical media is anti authoritarian and anti hyper modernity. Buy the dvds Buy the books Own media Build your own libraries Destroy corporate ownership of media Retain ownership and control of knowledge

Honestly Seymour is damn good at the game. He took a govt failure on the economy and turned it into an attack on left with the Air NZ thing. Nobody in Labour is that good at the game, especially the smug advisors who surround the leadership and bring only Clinton campaign-esk ideas.

This is an absolute disgrace. The disproportionate suffering of Māori and Pacific children and their families is an outcome of deliberate policy choices and an ongoing refusal to confront institutional racism in Aotearoa. #ToitūteTiriti #onetermgovernment #nzpol

FFS LET TRANS PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE

The pattern is clear. This Government is secretly locking New Zealand into deeper alignment with the US without ever putting it to the public, whether it's critical minerals deals, AUKUS Pillar 2, or now handing over our biometric data.

I AM SO SICK OF THE THUMB SUCKING UP TO A FASCIST REGIME AT OUR EXPENSE. #nzpol

This is what happens if you cut the minimum wage in real terms year after year. This is what happens if you spend more time kicking people out of housing rather than building it. This is what happens when you care more about cruise ship passengers than kids in poverty

Great. The military industrial complex must be thrilled. #nzpol

Hipkins will never have the vision or guts to do something like this, he won’t even contemplate a wealth tax to ease the burden of ordinary citizens, who pay more in tax than the super wealthy he will protect from paying their fair share. #nzpol

Should NZ Govt legislate to have houses unoccupied for over a year designated as Needing a Caretaker and give local authorities power to offer them to homeless people rent free in exchange for tidying up the house + garden? Many derelict and unoccupied houses! 🏚️🏚️ #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

No, it's not fair, and there's an easy solution. We need to bring Aotearoa's electricity back into public ownership. We must treat the electricity market as a public utility, not a source of profit. #nzpol

#nzpol "The New Zealand government had not stated what information might be shared, what safeguards would apply, or whether parliament or the public would be consulted before any agreement was finalised." Pretty shitty position considering how pro-US the CoC is. 🤬

Why hello there former US Treasury Secretary, president of Harvard, and director of the National Economic Council Larry Summers. Sharing with alt so we can all bask in his hidden insights that we are NOT allowed to share. And here's the source link: oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world. Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime. It ain't the USA.
