If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

A couple of years ago, researchers warned that South African ‘white genocide’ narratives were gaining traction in New Zealand disinformation networks. We’re now at the point where a paid dark advertising campaign is actively targeting NZ audiences on X about SA ‘refugees’.

A lot of people are angry about the Green Budget because it reveals how much of the status quo is a matter of choice. It's not a requirement to have poverty. It's not just-the-way-things-are for our health system to be in crisis. Income tax did not evolve by natural selection. We can do better.

TERFs are like Russian dolls. On the outside: TERF. Inside: white supremacy. Then: anti–sex work. At the core: anti-abortion. Call me crazy, but I see a pattern—controlling other people’s bodies. TERFism isn’t feminism. It’s authoritarianism wrapped in faux-feminist sanctimony.

Somewhere in North Jersey, a white girl is planning a coup that will make January 6th look like a quinceañera

Guess who doesn’t like this? You know what to do…

at first, i thought the boomer obsession with autism — represented by rfk jr. &c. — was weird, given how they are no longer of child-having and child-rearing age but the explanation is simple: these people are freaking out after being told they're not allowed to abuse their autistic grand kids

The Golden Mile project spans three mayors and councils. It’s not a recent or rushed decision, been consulted on many times & supported in multiple elections. The work of this council stays in place largely until halfway through the next council term. This is how local government works!

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

I am so over this - fuck civility. The Coalition is ruining this country - all forms of non-violent and non-hateful action are legitimate and should be countenanced. I am surprised the civil disobedience hasn't started already.

Today’s special collections find: a rare English translation of Nikolai Semashko’s _The Right to Rest and Leisure_

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

“For a typical first home mortgage if $567,448, the weekly repayment would be about $700.” Why the fuck is that the “typical first home mortgage”.

Interesting that RNZ doesn't differentiate the kind of taxes as being meaningful (Image 1) OR that people earning under $125k will pay less tax (Image 2) Is this 'fair and balanced' reporting by RNZ?

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

Chris Bishop: Librarians are being compared to fisheries officers Chris Bishop: Which we all know is patiently ridiculous Chris Bishop: Because librarian is a girl job and fisheries officer is a boy job #NZPol

Arms stabbed by nurse. :D
