As a disabled wahine Māori, I see how our systems deliberately keep people poor. You struggle to get healthcare or disability support; face racism and ableism at school or work; and you have fewer chances to connect with culture, which affects mental health". thespinoff.co.nz/books/25-09-...

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Christian Zionists are pouring billions of dollars into Israeli extremism—and in the process, have become Israel's most important American allies. @kieraevebutler.bsky.social reports on God's "blank check."

"As members of institutions committed to health equity, we write with moral urgency in response to the devastation inflicted on civilians in Gaza since October, 2023.1 We cannot remain silent in the face of the unfolding genocide carried out by the Israeli Government."

“We encourage students to “critically engage with systems of power,” & we celebrate academic freedom as foundational to our purpose. Yet when faced with a case of genocide – documented by international bodies, witnessed daily in the media, & devastating in its scale – many universities fall silent”.

Today was a #platypus day. 🤩 It was snowing, but #platypuses have incredibly dense fur. It's so thick that they can spend 30 hours non-stop foraging in the extremely chilly Tasmanian water without their skin actually getting wet. #Tasmania #MammalWatching #WildOz

We were never told to wear ffp2/3 respirators. We were told to wear gappy surgical FRSM masks, for an airborne virus. We were also told we could remove them to dine out in a shared air space, of course people caught COVID. We should have been told to wear ffp2/N95 masks and medical staff wear ffp3.🧵

This is Trumpian climate denial by the NZ government. The Luxon govt has reopened applications for oil and gas exploration across the whole of New Zealand for the first time since the 2018 ban imposed by Jacinda Ardern, with a new faster route for awarding permits. #nzpol

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Smith once again going where other mainstream journalists fear to tread - holding powerful people to account

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The majority of London is either foreign-born, or the descendants of non-white immigrants. London is pretty upset right now. Then it's gonna be mad as fuck.

Feel quite ill at the size of the Unite the Right Enggerrrland march. That's the scale you get when both the government, & the party that holds the mandate for antiracism and progressivism - BOTH IN THIS CASE THE FUCKING LABOUR PARTY - spends months explicitly endorsing the far right agenda.

If the UK government doesn’t respond strongly to this, then the consequences will be grave.

Having children dress as characters for book week teaches them to embrace naive mimesis. They should be encouraged to personify formal categories like omniscient naration, free indirect discourse, etc

Yesterday I walked through blueberry bushes and pine trees and swam in a freshwater lake in Oslo. Then I had a foraged blueberry pie for dinner. Bliss

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Recent announcements by France, EU, Arab League, Canada is not them 'changing' - it is another two-state attempt at Oslo pacification and normalization. There can be NO "solution" that demands disarmament of the resistance, maintains apartheid & occupation, denies the right of return for refugees.
