Apparently "Labour wants you to pay more for Netflix" (ACT advert). That's terrible.
ACT wants you to pay more for medicines, schools, transport, parks, libraries, sports, food and housing. But that's OK because everything you pay is going to their friends.

I'm looking at the national disaster of floods in Northland. People have lost everything. Where the f#%k is our government's compassion, leadership and support?
Meanwhile National wants to spend millions on a bonkers extra tunnel in Wellington so they can get to the airport more quickly

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
Disastrous strategy by Labour.

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Parts of the country are flooding so badly people are being rescued by helicopters, families are being turned away from emergency housing and denied WINZ support, businesses are closing in record numbers and families are choosing between food & rent but we’re going to get horse race reporting #nzpol

Comment: The political year will kick off with a hiss and a roar, thanks to some big set pieces and an election date announcement.

And it is cheaper to act now than to respond later, with less community distress & disruption and damage to property.
How many lives, homes and livelihoods do we need to lose; how many washed out roads and bridges do we need to replace before we take the threat of climate change seriously? The reality is we can't afford to ignore it.

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin.
“No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.”
EVERYTHING has changed.

We have choices to make.
Do we invest in our communities and people who live across the country?
Or do we provide tax breaks & subsides to billionaires?
The Green Party will always push the right choice.

Your dehumanising headline serves as propaganda for a government deliberately underfunding & reducing access to services for our most vulnerable, in service of wealthy people.
Challenging that erosion should be the story; that it’s not says something about the erosion of our humanity.
