As always the problem isn't generational. I'd guarantee most kids of billionaires and wealthy landlords are growing up to be awful little shits.

Yet again, we see that Labour is more willing to capitulate to and work with right wing Government parties, than the Greens and Te Pāti who they will likely need the support of to form a future Labour-led government.

It was "pretty unlikely" that Labour MPs would engage in filibustering, he said.

"I have once again, this morning, reiterated to the government that if they are willing to compromise, they bring this back to something that is sensible and in line with Parliament's own rules and practices and our own recent history - then we will support this being a quick debate."

If ‘Māorification’ is a threat; you are a white supremacist.

I’m sorry but words have meaning and this is the essential logic here

While our Prime Minister normalises the use of 'Maorification' in a time of angst amongst our people, we have courageous leaders standing up for us and te tiriti. I'm so thankful for the bravery of @tepaatimaori.bsky.social and their MPs. Thank you ❤️ #nzpol

This powerful billboard was spotted in London 🇵🇸
It all started in 1948 💔,
not October 7”
A reminder to the world: the Nakba never ended.
#Nakba77 #FreePalestine

A large billboard on a brick building in London shows a powerful message:
“It all started on 1948” — with "Oct 7" crossed out in red.
Next to the text is a red handprint symbolizing blood and resistance.
Hashtag #NAKBA77 is included at the bottom right.
The poster highlights the ongoing Palestinian Nakba since 1948.

Flip your center in US history from white people to Black and Indigenous people, look at the Exclusion Acts, and understand the US isn't sliding towards fascism. It is reverting to its original state. And your utopian dreams about European comfort, freedom, etc? Yeah, take a harder look.

What a surprise! Happy to take subscription money from Nazi supporters and, of course, they consider Elon a beacon of free speech when he actively censors 'cis' on his shithole platform.

Guess it's easier to stay in business if you're happy to appease fascists.
