Recent events show that climate change impacts can be hyper local, and specific areas seem to be getting hit by the same extreme weather repeatedly.
What ideas do you all have on the priorities for an incoming government in building community resilience & preparedness for extreme weather?

Another week, another state of emergency!
We need a government that is willing to do all it can to mitigate the impacts of our new climate.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

So tough to see South Waikato/King Country hit with severe weather again, including tragic loss of life. Look after each other out there! Kia kaha, kia manawanui ❤️🩹

How do we engage voters in Aotearoa? Hononga - connection! Where are the relatable politicians? Those who care that folx are struggling, that hospitals, schools, universities are underfunded; that Te Tiriti is a toanga and Aotearoa embraces diversity and doesn’t discriminate! #NZWiL

Time for the 3-30-300 Rule to be Planning Law
And funded by a 50% FAR scheme with Central Gov or with any urban renewal 85% EFAR rate
FAR and EFAR = Funding or Enchanced Funding Assistant Rate
It is a formula NZTA uses with local authorities for transport but can be adapted to Green Infrastructure

I really really hate the new look iOS. It’s like cheesy late nineties MS WordArt aesthetic and is an awful user experience.
Why isn’t there any way to turn it off!? I know this is a super minor issue in the context of the world, but better consumer testing was needed before releasing it.

The admission that the police are deliberately siphoning off correspondence to the PM and the Minister of Police from members of the public to make sure it is never seen sure strikes at the heart of a democracy. Corruption at the top level. Heads must roll.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Miriam Webster’s daily crossword “The Missing Letter” hilariously mixed up the spelling in one of their clues and answers today. 😂 It made me doubt myself, so I had to go google it. I was right and they were wrong!

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza.
There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.
