And the Salesman of the Year is….
My #Stuff Cartoon today #Infrastructure #ferries #NZpol
Cartoon. Title: “Salesman of the Year” Image shows NZ First leader Winston Peters smiling broadly, with a gold tooth, and indicating plans for a ferry. He’s saying, “And all this for just $185, 999,999,999.99!*” Down the lower left of the frame it says “*Not inclusive of a $671,000,000 admin fee. T&C may apply”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Mōrena! In the news today...None of the dozens of extreme weather reports published & broadcast today mention the role of climate change in extreme weather. Also, Luxon gets a $8,100 reduction in his Waiheke home rates bill. Plus much more. #nzpol

Journalist Anas al-Sharif won’t be around to announce the ceasefire as he did the last time,

because Israel assassinated him along with more than 260 other journalists. 😢

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Yep. And, this won't stop the Tokoroa plywood factory from closing because the damage has already been done. This CoC-up government has pushed our nation's manufacturing companies to the wall. 🤬

While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations.

Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money.

Boycott Disney and you can boycott Florida at the same time!

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...
Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt. The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement." Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.
