Strange how a targeted campaign against one woman can stay on the front pages for weeks on end but a targeted campaign impacting all women barely makes the news for a day and then fades away from all the mainstream sites. A mystery. 🤔

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

Best quote so far from a care worker when asked what she would say to the women in govt who scrapped the current PE law 'they can kiss my fat arse my darling'. Legend!

#nzpol The pay equity decision today – just before Mothers Day – takes employment law back decades. It will likely impact the earnings of hundreds of thousands of women, often working in some of the most poorly paid work. It will cost us all in the long-run. A 🧵 www.beehive.govt.nz/release/chan...

I'm furious at the scrapping of the current Pay Equity law by Brooke Van Valden. This is so the government can save money on the backs of low paid women workers. Shameful

Today we launched a campaign to ban the import, supply and use of engineered stone. Engineered stone is an unnecessary product that causes the fatal lung disease silicosis. We're petitioning the Govt to do the right thing and save workers' lives. Sign here: www.together.org.nz/ban_engineered_stone

It’s crucial that the record profits of corporations is front and centre in this discourse - it’s not an unavoidable economic crisis, so much as it is an engineered wealth grab for the rich. The suffering of healthcare workers and patients is a worthwhile trade off for CoC & these companies. #nzpol

In the last five years I can count on one hand and not use all my fingers the number of media pieces that have provided clear analysis, and clear, needed, vital warnings about David Seymour’s politics - this is one of them. Thank you @etangata.bsky.social 🙏 e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

The draft decision to remove the Living Wage from cleaners, caterers, and security guards by the Minister of Finance will hurt real people. People we rely on every day to deliver public services. But it will also hurt us as taxpayers. Let's look at the story of 'Amy'...🧵

Oh. My. Wow. This image here, THIS STUNNING PHOTO, was taken by Blue Ghost on the Moon. Because while we saw a lunar eclipse on Earth, the Moon saw a solar eclipse at the same time. That's us, Earth, eclipsing the Sun. And it just gives me goosebumps to see like this!!
