Palestine is not Hamas any more than Ireland is the IRA or Aotearoa is ACT

The sheer fucking audacity of a man whose political party only got 6% of the vote claiming to speak for Aotearoa NZ

Many of our allies and other countries - Do the bare minimum New Zealand - Yeah, nah we won't even do the bare minimum Sure will be nice for people to hear about us on the news and think "That sounds like a nice place to have a holiday!" #NZPol

In a race to stand for nothing, we are increasingly heading for first place.

Fuck you and the CoC government horse you rose in on. Absolute cowards and ghouls, they can’t even do the bare minimum, because they have so dehumanised the Palestinians in their minds. #nzpol

How fucking low has the National party sunk! Mimicking Trumpian anti democratic tactics because they know they can’t win any other way! So arrogant & desperate to remain in power, they’re happy to undermine democracy rather than create policies that are acceptable to the voters! #nzpol

Mo Chara's trumped up terrorism charge that British Govt brought against him has rightfully been thrown out of court. This is a stain on Starmer's Govt that should remain forever Short video of Mo Chara's victory speech below.🇨🇮🔥.

From Jan 1st our rent is going up by $150 a week to bring it up to market rent, it was that or they’d have to sell. We had a very lucky run at a low rent for a long time so I am grateful for that, but $150 a week is 😬🥹 I guess at least we won’t be homeless. Silver linings & all that.. #Kikorangi

#BHN Before ‘trickle down economics’ was popularized it was called ‘the horse and sparrow theory’ where if the horse was fed enough oats, some would pass through its digestive system and the sparrow could eat from its manure Literally picking through the shit of the rich for scraps

I am not worthy to even aspire to being a bilious salty bitch in the presence of such magnificence and terror.

"I mean it, Scotland. We’ve got to ditch England and save ourselves. The union is done. England is done. Scotland can still be saved if we go it alone, but we’ve gotta go fast and go soon. We’re in a burning building. Only a fool stays to die."

I rang my cousin about 10.30pm last night and when she picked up the phone I said ‘Good Morning’, if you want to know how broken my brain is atm. #Kikorangi

We've passed the third milestone, can we get to the half way point today? Just need 146 people to pledge $5 (your card won't be charged until October 31, and then only if the goal is met)

Our landlords will be here late afternoon. They’ve booked into a hotel for the night. I don’t know why they’re visiting and am so incredibly stressed that they are going to tell us they are selling…. If they are, I’m royally fucked, and will have nowhere to go…. #Kikorangi

This might just be the Tylenol talking but I’m pretty sure the world would be a better place if more people were autistic

calm down people the kids are all right

I work right in midtown, near the city mission. I walk Queen St most days for my commute or doing chores/getting lunch. There are more unhoused people now than a year ago, and there are more young people, women with kids, more desperation.

I do not want to quote anything in particular from this article, but I *do* want to point out that unchecked, uncontrolled growth which steals resources from surrounding tissue is commonly called a tumor.

Universal Basic income (UBI) reduces poverty and income inequality. It improves physical and mental health. A UBI set at $1,000 per adult per month and $300 per child per month would entirely eradicate poverty in the U.S. www.britannica.com/procon/unive...

cannot wait to watch Labour spend the next year carefully and gently stepping around the perfectly laid domino trail of infrastructure, wage, welfare, and tax reform that would secure NZ‘s future.

Attacks continue in early hours, with Israel’s army targeting central and southern Gaza as global condemnation rises.

Treasury laser focused on screwing over workers & making the cost of living crisis worse. There are plenty of other options (eg tax wealth, tax tobacco, remove tax breaks for landlords, increase overall tax rate for higher incomes...) but no, Treasury decides to come for working families instead 😕

The problem with our current economy in two posts. #nzpol

Specifically, he appears to have been a libertarian-inclined edgelord who went down the 4Chan meme hole. Again.

This is your regular reminder that according to IRD, the richest 350 families in the country pay an effective tax rate of 8%

American liberals are fucking unbearable.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Saying all the swear words ever uttered on earth for all eternity is what this makes me wants to do….. #nzpol

I’m STRUGGLING 🥹 #Kikorangi

What if we legalised weed and taxed it? What if we had a capital gains tax? Fuck’s sakeeeeeee

The things they'll suggest to avoid taxing capital and the rich #NZPol

Not just the darkest but also the most pathetic timeline

In a new pilot program, this city will give homeless young adults $1,200 in cash every month for two years. The money received from UBI pilots is largely used to pay for the basic essentials many Americans struggle to afford. Read the full article here: buff.ly/vZyRp5c

How the actual fuck is Business Desk publishing a piece framing the genocide of Palestinians as a 'challenge' for Israeli start ups AND trying to PR Israeli entry into the NZ market on that basis???? This is fucking atrocious businessdesk.co.nz/article/opin...

WHY THE FUCK ARE THE PALESTINIANS NOT GETTING A SEAT AT THE TABLE DEFINING THEIR OWN FATE?????? Also the Israeli govt will never agree to this.

All this proves to me is there's a demand big enough for international criminals to grow dak while ours sit in prisons. LEGALISE MARIJUANA. Tax it. Watch domestic crimes go down. Laziness beats abuse. Alcohol creates criminals. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/more-than...

y'all not talking about this found evidence because it doesn't fit your leftist narrative

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

I hope anyone who still thinks Peters has principles calls him out for this bs. What disgusts me the most is that Peters is very much using this moment (like with everything he does) to soak up attention. "Will he or not?" is a game he loves to play, it's just now he's playing with genocide, ffs.

New Zealand prevaricates on whether to recognise Palestine as a state, or not. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Palestine #Gaza

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

As a trans CSA survivor, I cannot emphasize enough how infuriating, dehumanizing, and devastating it is to watch the majority of society around me get so agitated about the hypothetical bogeyman of the "pedophile" (aka queer person) while intentionally ignoring the actual pedophiles in their midst.

A reminder the Rural sector provides 6% of GDP, the Maori Economy is 9% of GDp, Auckland is 40% of GDP with its two City Centres (and nearby industry) giving 14.8% of National GDP (or 7.4% respectively) So if Auckland struggles.....

My latest Substack article exposes the truth of the partnership between Keir Starmer and Blackrock as something truly ruinous for UK citizens living in or near AI Growth Zones. You will not believe what is being installed with zero public debate. Please subscribe! open.substack.com/pub/european...

Fun fact: Doctor Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, close friend of Trump and RFK Jr., and self-admitted fraudulent supplement huckster, sells multiple forms of leucovorin through his supplement company, iHerb, which he didn’t divest when taking his federal gov role.
