UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Honestly has there ever been an election result more worthy of the adjective "uninspiring"

@lillywachowski.bsky.social please

This is climate-based resilience targeting.

Interesting appendix, though, covering off some of the numbers, key themes, and overwhelming opposition to the RSB. #NZPOL

sounds like Hilary Cass 😱

Hopefully, and I’m sure you’re right!

Watching how Lab-aligned local body candidates treat their lefter-leaning opposition this election has me filled with a real lack of confidence going into next year’s election, aye

If Winston truly believes Chlöe is responsible for his broken window then logically it follows that he must be accepting personal responsibility for every single death threat made to Benjamin Doyle and their whanau.

I’m so called out by this post that this is in fact the first time I’d considered that street could be pronounced any other way

The NZ Drug Foundation has a major new report pressing the case for a replacement of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975, which turns 50 this month. Thing is, its recommendations – for a complete realignment to health, not criminalisation and punishment, are ... drugfoundation.org.nz/topics/polic...

Remember there was even a hastily written Appleby report last year to say this wasn't happening and that everyone was lying about it happening 🤬

Nicky Hager: "It seems either defence officials are pursuing plans contrary to their own Government’s wishes or the Government is not being straight with the public."

This has been the vicious fucking thing about the "Jobseeker Benefit" ever since Paula Bennett coined it in 2013

In addition to keeping people in poverty it's been a term of propaganda forcing us all to accept the frame of welfare as economic obligation instead of social support

⚠️BREAKING ⚠️ 25+ arrests have been made violently by police, who are facilitating the business of war and genocide in Te Pae right now. We, the people, say NO to the aerospace military industrial complex. We, the people, say NO MORE WAR IN OUR NAME. #nzpol #nz #peaceactivism

I saw a copy of this at an op shop recently! They had a huuuuuge stash, I’ve been meaning to go back!

If our fucking *opposition* opposed that with as much thirst as they’ve jumped on the “attack dogs” line today I’d feel a whole lot more confident heading into next year’s election, but Hipkins seems more interested in being UK Labour.

Mass job losses, mass homelessness - these are also political violence.

It was political violence when Peters almost singlehandedly created so many persistent death threats it forced a takatāpui MP out of office. It’s political violence that rangatahi in Waitaha are now nearly a year without access to essential and time-critical healthcare bc of the actions of this govt

should tim jago's victims have been safe? David Seymour protected their rapist because his name being public would've "been a distraction in the run-up to the election". And he's the deputy fucking prime minister.

"MPs should be safe in their homes"

sure, whatever, let's agree to that.

Should I be safe in my home? Because if I miss a dr's appointment, I risk being sanctioned by the govt due to Luxon, Seymour and Peter's policies, which will *immediately* leave me unable to pay rent, which will make me

Weirdly frustrating, aye? Congrats!

I do! About to do another test - my immune system must have been pretty suppressed the last few years, I’ve had covid four times too 🥲
