I really need to get stuff done today 😆

He makes me ill

#NZpol Hard to know who is the bigger danger right now... The dangerously stupid Simeon Brown or the dangerously determined David Seymour... Probably Seymour, he has more active power as DPM. But also... he's *so* arrogant he doesn't always see where he can be taken down, which *can* be done.

Can Peter Thiel's NZ citizenship be revoked? Or do we have to live with this man representing Kiwis on the world stage, even though he had only spent 12 days in NZ when granted citizenship? Can Nathan Guy be investigated for corruption over allowing this strange decision? #nzpol

Trump absolutely hates being called Taco Man. So you know what to do.

I am not usually one to hand it to the nz police but these comms are good.

Charles Kushner pleaded guilty to 16 counts of assisting in the filing of false tax returns, one count of retaliating against a cooperating witness and one count of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission.. on top of this despicable extortion scheme. He’s as loathsome as they come

ART OF THE FOLD........

This right here......

I dunno how I’m gonna do 3 1/2 more years of this 🫠

"This coalition government, they need to be renamed demolition, that's what they're doing to these women and their rights to a fair and just wage." #nzpol

I think people in NZ need to come to terms with how far along this pipeline we are with the current govt and its corporate cronies and fellow travellers. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I mean the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs is itself extremely dubious, but the President *clearly* has zero authority to unilaterally strike trade deals without a vote from Congress.

Excerpts from Nicola Willis & Erica Stanford’s third reading speeches in FAVOUR of the landmark Equal Pay Amendment Bill. The government should be ashamed of this surprise attack on women under urgency in their fight for equal pay. Link to speeches here: www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansar...

Watch Four Seasons on Netflix if you need a good laugh.

The great free speech champion refuses to do interviews with actual journalists and retreats to the safe space of a *checks notes* Lara Trump ‘interview’. LOL.

I finally managed to get this print on the wall. Been over a year in the making.

This petition to stop NZ First's stupid sex definitions bill has been open for nearly a week and has 1.2k signatures The hate group's petition that spawned this bill took four months to get 2.2k signatures Let's show just how little hate there is petitions.parliament.nz/cc70b2c2-cfd...

Breaking News: The Paramount board has cleared a possible path to settle President Trump’s lawsuit over “60 Minutes.”

Get a load of this shit Aotearoa! #ToitūTeTiriti #TangataTiriti #nzpol #Aotearoa #NZ #OneTermGovernment #AtlasNetworkNZ #HumanityFirst #FightBackTogether @tepaatimaori.bsky.social @chrishipkins.bsky.social

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Uh... fuck absolutely everything about this? www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

The deep risk is that Trumpism is just the larval phase of Thielism

London bus stop near Amazon HQ 🔥

Van Hollen is doing what every other democrat should be doing under this lawless power grab. The future isn't meeting the right half way like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, it's having courage like @vanhollen.senate.gov. Go back to El Salvador. Go see Kilmar again, Andrys and everyone.

Just a reminder - this is the network David Seymour's ACT is part of #nzpol theaimn.net/tim-wilson-s...

If you've seen the "Queer Community Against Fascism" posters around Wellington, this is who designed them, and you should check them out.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause. And what did Republicans in the House do today? They passed a budget resolution that paves the way for more tax cuts for the rich. "Party of the working class."
