As we watch the growing resistance to Danielle Smith's MAGA agenda in Alberta let's remember the powerful roots of true prairie populism. We have national health care because that generation stood up for a better vision of Canada.
My latest.

Gotta love those Georgians, hundreds of thousands of them on the street every day for months, fighting a manipulated pro Russian election. Today 350,000 of them storming the Presidential Palace. #DemocracyForGeorgia

If an incumbent councillor running in 2025 claims they support Māori wards please check receipts - there was a councillor vote on Māori wards in 2023. 11 voted against, & most are seeking your vote again - Fletcher, Lee, K Turner, Williamson, Baker, Newman, Walker, Watson: all said no.

She was a very clever dog so I thought it meant one of 2 things. 1/ too many chemicals no meat in gravy
2/ nothing in it to sustain life.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Not Her Destiny: Former church member asks: 'Did I not deserve to be protected?'

For years, Destiny Church shaped every part of Lynia Morseu-Tol's life. Now, she is reckoning with faith, identity and whānau.

Sad to hear that Peter Mcglashan @petermcglashan.bsky.social is stepping down from Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board. He was a positive voice on community issues in his area.

If they did care, the polling numbers would not show their support pretty much what it was 2 years ago. They shd be at 10%!

If you live in the Ōrākei Local ward, consider voting for Wyllis Maihi. Can confirm, he’s an all round good guy.

What a cop out! Its so offensive as more people die everyday that he needs to think a bit more and those who are dying can wait a bit longer, there is a special place in hell for those who toy with desperate people’s lives

Canada first announced this in July but is doing so again as part of a 3 country alliance to strengthen commitment . Or something. Aotearoa has missed the boat again or maybe Wi ston has something spectacular to announce??

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

Invisible even to Aotearoa & Australia, immediate neighbours. Freedom for #WestPapua

A Study of Resistance @colourmefiji.bsky.social · 21d

A reminder that the brutal occupation of #WestPapua and the ongoing persecution of Indigenous Papuans is a horror that is largely undocumented & invisibilised. Like so much black suffering, furthest away in proximity to Whiteness, their revolution has NOT been televised.

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.
