NZ adults, kia ora! If you were not vaccinated as a child, you can get free catch-up vaccinations, including HPV if you are under 26. Polio, measles, tetanus, whooping cough - these are vaccine preventable!

Watching Americans outraged about the treatment of Zelenskyy while we can't even get a single media outlet to publish an open letter from Abu Marzook, let alone get a leader of the resistance to the violent occupation of Palestine a meeting with the president is truly something. You deserve Trump.

What the government can’t afford: ❌Lifting children out of poverty ❌Disability benefits ❌Compensation for WASPI women ❌Winter fuel allowance What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military. Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

In Gaza 💔🇵🇸 Children are dying from the cold. This evening in Gaza, three children perished, killed by the freezing temperatures. Their fragile bodies could not withstand the brutal cold, and their tiny hearts stopped beating... So simply, so cruelly, so silently.

This is an incredible resource that is going to be invaluable! I had the real privilege of reviewing these - but honestly, the team at Make it Easy are so good they barely needed it! Thanks @makeiteasy.bsky.social for these - so grateful!

It's worth making explicit that Franks' letter was on behalf of Inflection Point, the anonymous group that organised a large anti-trans lobby conference last year whose invited speakers included Brian Tamaki, who has been explicitly calling for violence against trans people for the last 2 years.

People who don't practice criminal law don't know how rare this is. The City Attorney in Los Angeles is being ordered to turn over lots of evidence because a strong initial case was demonstrated that she conspired to commit serious federal crimes and state ethical violations:

The Korean Right, at the end of the day, are American lapdogs. Moreso than even Japan's LDP. their pedigree stems from those who collaborated w/ the fascist Japanese occupiers. I think they're pushing the China conspiracy to appeal to the Americans. So far, it hasn't been working.

Today @rickpaulas.bsky.social writes about a spate of bills being passed in CA and elsewhere meant to criminalize “aiding or abetting” the homeless. Does that mean you'll be fined for giving someone on the street change? Tossed in jail for setting up food aid? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Folks, it’s 40 years to the day since Tears for Fears released their second album ‘Songs from the Big Chair’. The bridge with the vocal harmonies in ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ is pretty much perfection. Does 80s pop get better? I don’t think so, pal. youtu.be/znDgBy2mHbc

So far, RNZ has been the only media outlet to publish a story about the Queer Power rally in Auckland, but sadly RNZ, Stuff & 1News have all published stories today about NZ upping its defence spending in which the only people interviewed are right wing, pro-defence spending, pro-US, war hawks.

One thing that I haven't seen calculated yet is just how expensive the current Governments cancellation of years worth of work, and reviews, and on the ground projects has actually been. Not the savings they claim, but how much had already been spent on being at the point it was before austerity.

It's such fucking bullshit that Israel has routinely broken the ceasefire and killed 100+ since it "started" and the mainstream media mostly ignores it then Netanyahu blames Hamas for the death of hostages likely killed in an airstrike and the media repeats his accusation verbatim.

I wrote this piece because the anti-Palestinians cannot be reasoned with. There is no line they won't cross. They have no conscience. The BBC has shown this incontrovertibly in their explanation for censoring "How to Survive a Warzone".

NZ media really did say "we're literally going to stop covering Tim Jago and not challenge ACT about their role at all", didn't they. Any "NZ media defenders" still out there who want to have a go?

Our health system has been using BMI to "ration" healthcare for years. It's patently unscientific and incredibly racist. Fat people are far more likely to be denied care and then blamed if our health problems get worse because we're "costing the taxpayer money"

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet. PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.
