I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

🤬 off #SMH there would be few people living as authentic a life as #Greta Measure her impact by the number of angry white men she riles. #Activism

Anyone else see the conflict between the inane “dig baby dig” and “100% Pure” www.odt.co.nz/opinion/yes-...

100% pure my arse!! Drink the water in any waterway, and find out! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Climate change is driving up peak summer temperatures across the country. Las Vegas broke temperature records last summer. Now, the region is fighting the heat with a simple solution: more trees. via @knpr.org

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Some people are born fucking bastards, some have fucking bastardy thrust upon them and some become fucking bastards by sheer resolute determination. With Morrison we have got the lot. What a fucking bastard. #MuckForrison

A timely reminder (with actual FACTS!) as COVID starts ramping up again in Ao/NZ

Seymour, lined up and readying himself for a good arse-kicking. Had that happened back in the days of DWTS, we might have been spared his malignant influence on NZ politics Seymour feels his chance slipping away open.substack.com/pub/weareund...

Cone Hotline? I’d like to report 3 cones sleeping rough and acting suspiciously in Ponsonby. This wanton behaviour is not becoming of a respectable neighbourhood!

The company behind a West Coast hydroelectricity development denies trying to buy the silence of recreational kayakers, reports David Williams.

#cdnpoli #AusPol #USPol This article provides background on the Atlas Network and its methods. They have a wide reach and a strong voice in legislation, we need to be aware of what they do and how they do it, and be ready to call it out. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, you may want to reread some parts

a) This is, not to mince words, fucking outrageous. It's an affront to democracy, and to the alleged principled of good lawmaking in the Bill being considered. b) At least they've announced it in advance this time. Put "I object to the use of AI in the submission process" in your sub.

Could you build one of these at home? 🤪 cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

Hey Judith Collins - has your idiot friend Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ got an answer to this?

Ah yes, the notoriously over recognised and over paid ECE teachers fucking up the economy by not letting centre owners make enough money. All ECE should be nationalised and it’s a fucking grotesque and immoral way to make money. I said what I said.

The RSB is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation to come out of this govt. It will entrench wealth inequality further by placing property rights at the centre of all regulation. We need to tell them we will not accept radical libertarian ideology. Submit now. #nzpol #BHN

“…no one asks a question, no one seeks a reason.”

“The public expects ministers to be transparent,” Jones says. “It is not too much to ask that environmental activists do the same.” *Nothing* about fast track is transparent, Jones Environment activists apologise for using fake identities to organise protests newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/29/e...

i think speed cameras are the politer, more car friendly approach to a problem that will otherwise eventually solve itself when pedestrians start wielding M-79 grenade launchers

Woodside's extension will probably live longer than the human species. Think about that for a minute. #auspol
