Hey can anyone remind me if there's a shorthand term for "when rightwing politicians try to impose their political ideology on universities and use their governmental position to target and demonise individual academics as enemies of the people" because that just takes so long to type out

"On 19 June 2025 pursuant to section 29B of the Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 (“TSA”), the designation of The American Proud Boys expired. Any person who deals with the property of The American Proud Boys is no longer liable to prosecution for an offence under section 9 or 10 of the TSA." #nzpol

Yesterday on 19th June 2025 the Prime Minister of NZ chose to let the terrorist designation of the right wing extremist group the US Proud Boys expire, while renewing The Base. The absence of comments from the Coalition is noticeable. The absence of coverage by the News Media is abominable. #nzpol

So I’m assuming that David Seymour and all the other race-baiters who think it’s all gone a little too Maahree are hard at work today?

On this morning 8 o clock bulletin, RNZ used the line "the Hamas-run administration" to cast doubt on the report that 77 more civilians had been murdered overnight while queuing for food. It's 20 June 2025. How are they still doing this?

After watching the difference between Israel bombing EVERY HOSPITAL in Gaza INTENTIONALLY for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT, and what seems like a Iranian stray missile hitting an Israeli hospital (which is bad, too!) - I'm done with Western media. This isn't journalism. It is complicity in genocide.

Sorry but unless you've announced it every time Israel has completely destroyed a hospital, as well as for many other WORSE atrocities, then doing the "I just believe in international law" when Iran accidentally hits a hospital has implications about your politics, ideology & baseline bigotry 🤷‍♀️

I’m not well versed in the census situation (compared to other countries) to have an opinion but I have to say it’s giving povvo. It’s giving the govt has no money and they are canceling whatever they can get their hands on to save whatever dollars. It’s giving money mismanagement. Bad look.

Will ANYONE be asking Luxon, if your not renewing the terrorist designation of the Proud Boys & The Base in New Zealand, expiring TOMORROW, explicitly what has changed since the report was made by the NZ Police? [ www.police.govt.nz/sites/defaul... ] Nothing on the NZ Gazette Search page. #nzpol

I just listened to the Mediawatch about Alex, and it reminded me a few weeks ago another parent of a trans kid asked about the term "deadname" and talked about how painful they found it. And someone else very gently explained to them that it's called a "deadname" because 1/3

I'd note that many of the current NIMBYs who want to return to the Wellington of the late 90s and early 00s are pining for a time when the arts were in full flight in Wellington.

It's annoying me how USA liberals are pretending the US was a great democracy until Trump got in. Trump certainly makes things even worse but the USA was never great, genocides on the indigenous population, slavery, wealth gaps, coups and establishing dictatorships and wars around the world.

These Ministers aren’t fixing the housing crisis they’re cashing it in. Selling off state land while our people sleep in cars isn’t policy. It’s a political hit job on vulnerable whānau. You don’t build homes by gutting the agency that builds them. #HousingCrisis #TePātiMāori #NZPol

Christ on skates…..we know how to rebuild a country: You look after people, you educate people, you house people and have meaningful employment (meaningful Is key). We also know the UBIs actually work, but the mega wealthy hate the idea of sharing when they’d much rather steal and hoard.

Is that Brad “key fanboi” Olsen still getting heaps of air time, or is the fact that all the things he said were going to fix us, actually crashed the economy and only made life better for landlords and now the economy is in recession? Surely he is out of a job? Obviously ridiculously bad at it….
