It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

🧵It's almost my 2 year anniversary of posting spotted observations of life in Aotearoa New Zealand, so I thought it would be fun for today's post to be the one that kicked it all off. It might explain why we immediately fell in love with this awesome little city that we now call home.❤️🌺

The lobby is milking the Bondi Beach attack to silence critics of Israel's genocide
It is years of dedicated work by the Israel lobby that has ensured the mass murder of Palestinians is viewed by governments, the media and parts of the Jewish community as entirely legitimate

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

A cheerfully bustling woman (50s?) is arranging fresh peonies in a public toilet, shower and clothes washing space.
Four vases of fresh cut flowers decorating the sinks.
Satisfied, she stands back, admires her handiwork and nods her head.

The Epstein scandal has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.
Epstein trafficked not just in the bodies of the children he abused but also in social connections that could bring elites together.
