RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The PSA condemns Destiny Church & the violence and hate it demonstrated at Te Atatū library on Saturday. Libraries must be safe for the people who work there & our Rainbow whānau. The PSA is supporting members affected by the attack & will engage with Auckland Council management. #NZPol #kikorangi

Contemporary editorial staff at news organisations simultaneously paint themselves as actors without the power to shape politics and the only people able to hold power to account. You cannot be both. If you want to be acknowledged as useful for the latter, acknowledge your agency in the former.

When protest isn’t peaceful, you don’t have to be a church mouse about condemning it

I want to be really clear that Tamaki's rhetoric has been measurably increasing in the last few weeks, which extremism researchers have noticed and contacted Police about. This is shocking but should not be a shock. This was signalled, clearly building and (in my opinion) plainly incited.

Lotsa chat about Enshittification of school lunch programme being Seymour's goal so it can be dropped, this could be true but I want to counter that with; if that's his goal he's seriously underestimated the popularity of & school lunches & the public backlash to losing them& who'd be blamed #NZPol
