To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

#BHN David Seymour this morning commenting on someone who used to be associated with the Te Pati Maori that his actions show…

“the true soul of Te Pati Maori”

So, if those are HIS standards, the true soul of ACT can be seen in child sexual criminal, Tim Jago

Fair?

he's managed to fail upwards into a ceasefire deal against the utter incoherent incompetence of the sycophants he surrounds himself with. A person with true honour and power would have stopped this year ago. Biden isn't much better he just failed upwards less.

“Joe Biden's administration helped secure the release of 105 hostages in November 2023, more than have been released in the two subsequent ceasefires under Trump.”

Should Donald Trump be thanked for the Gaza ceasefire and hostage releases?
Analysis: "Thank you," said giant letters etched in the beach in Tel Aviv. But should anyone be thanking the US president?

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Luxon thinks you're dumb and can't remember the unions striking when labour were in government. Their offers were much more reasonable as well. Union bashing knob #nzpol

It's just the carbon capture discussion transplanted to dairy farming. No actual practical tech but the eternal promise means nobody has to actually do anything

AI companies are doing the same. The insane resource use is fine cause their tech will solve our energy needs & climate change. Somehow 🙄

Whoever created the line that technology will save dairy farmers really knew their audience. They can claim to be helping (which they want to do) BUT it acknowledges no wrongdoing on their part (bc farming is natural) AND requires that they make no changes. #nzpol

Scientists fear weaker methane target signals wider retreat from climate action
After cutting methane targets, New Zealand has a choice: shoulder the burden at huge cost - or cause more warming to the planet.

When the NZ's coalition govt took office nearly two years ago, its #WarOnNature started.

In that time, they've made a bewildering number of changes leading to environmental harm.

Greenpeace Aotearoa head @russelnorman.bsky.social has undertaken the gargantuan task of tracking them all👇

Gang numbers reach record highs under National - but could be even higher, as police can no longer easily identify members.
Meanwhile gang profits double too. Too bad most Kiwis will never realise in the absence of right wing media dominance & not enough funding on the other side #nzpol #kiwi
