Great turnout at Ōtautahi Pride today on a gorgeous sunny afternoon, barely marred by Destiny dipshits we could hardly see and couldn’t hear.

Remember: the Montgomery bus boycott was only conceived as a 1-day boycott. Most longterm activists like Rosa Parks & ED Nixon worried about whether people would do it. Only after the successful first day did it change to indefinite. It was sustained by a carpool system, giving 10,000 rides a day.

I used to work for a jville bakery that wouldn't accept our timesheets if we didn't say we finished our shift at closing time, no matter how long it took to close up afterwards Prosecuting wage theft is a great step. Let's also teach workers' rights in schools.

Video games are the perfect analogy for rich white dudes who think they achieved something extraordinary, when in reality people carefully built the entire system so that your journey could be an achievable fun lightly challenging romp.

People are talking today about the consequences of Obama not prosecuting torture enablers, and I think this is one of them. Our moral standards were permanently degraded.

I’m kinda blown away by all these TikToks of people showing up to Republican reps’ town halls & letting them have it over Musk/Trump/DOGE. It seems grassroots. If it becomes a lasting trend to go to town halls, shout down people who are lying to you, and post it online, we might all survive this.

Obviously, this is horrific. But I am glad they're saying this out loud and that we can see it. For so long, they've believed this and moved quietly in their killing of us. Now no one can pretend. Masks off, know your enemy.

Tory Whanau is the first Wellington mayor in a generation to tackle head on the city’s twin crises of constrained housing supply and neglected water infrastructure and to do so by actually delivering a pro-housing district plan and a water investment programme capable of solving these problems. 1/

The Islamic Women's Council of New Zealand is a community development organisation for Muslim women. Time and again, we are forced to advocate for our safety on topics well beyond most grassroots orgs: counterterrorism, geopolitical conflicts, and now, an unnecessary rewrite of the Arms Act. 🧵 (1/6)
