It's possible that a year from now, on Dec. 31, we will be able to say that things are better now than they were a year ago. I don't think that was possible a year ago. So there's something to hold on to!

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Great comparison. Luxon’s simmering contempt has always made me uncomfortable. And his smile never reaches his eyes and he hates to answer questions and loves to lie - like breathing for him.
Reflecting that it’s the same rage, coming from the same place of entitlement.

You can see this entitled, Christian nationalist viewpoint coming into play in Aotearoa with recent attacks on trans rights, and undermining of pay equity, science, art history, sex education.
This deeply held rage towards anything not conservative is demonstrably showing up in our policy decisions.

The campaign group Defend Our Juries said Thunberg's arrest could signal "a new level of repression", questioning whether police had misapplied the ban on Palestine Action or whether expressions of support for detained activists were now being treated as terrorism offences.

From Peter Thiel to James Cameron, NZ will hand out citizenship to the worst people but if you are a nurse’s son with autism, you will get deported. Every day a new reason to be ashamed of being a kiwi. Utterly embarrassing.
