Happy Valentin’s day 😽❤️

Where is the One Vote Brigade Oh yeah NOT LIKE THAT?

From real-terms minimum wage cuts to watering down health and safety, the government is subtly chipping away at pay, conditions and many of the other things that make work life-giving, writes Max Rashbrooke. #nzpol

The moment Peters and his ilk start addressing our rates of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, pay equity, safeguarding access to abortion…is the moment I say Well done, now you’re addressing women’s rights. Cis men are the biggest predators of cis women. The end.

I used to love dystopian sci-fi but now it feels too much like reality. I have mixed feelings about Black Mirror because of this. But I enjoyed Eulogy, Hotel Reverie and USS Callister. Hotel Reverie because terrific casting and story. The others because toxic masculinity is destroying our world.

And yet we still have a housing crisis … so I’d suggest the problem isn’t an “oversupply”.

So did any news outlet include the fact that NZ First overwhelmingly voted against abortion law reform while breathlessly promoting their "protecting women's biology" garbage? You are *allowed* to remember things that happened five years ago, you know

The situation today... eXtremely rocky ground. “When you don’t have facts, you don’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without these three we have no shared reality, we can’t solve any problems & you can’t have democracy ~ Maria Ressa.

The work safe regulations that Cruella van Velden ACT and the Nats government are dismantling right now were put in place after 29 miners died at work at Pike River - shame on all of those who would desecrate their memory! #NZPol

#nzpol Data released by Stats NZ today showed that inflation was 2.5% for the year to March 2025 rising from 2.2% in December last year. The prices of things that you can’t avoid are rising faster than others – meaning inflation is rising faster for those on low incomes. A thread…

it's perfectly consistent that a person who hates trans people would also hate ace people, if what she actually hates is any deviation from strict patriarchal sex and gender roles, because she's a victorian villain wearing feminism like a scooby-doo mask, hope this helps 👍

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

Truly the right wing EVERYWHERE are feeling so fucking empowered by what they see happening in the States. It's a playbook and they're taking notes and frothing.

Some book news: I've written and illustrated a new kid's book called 'Pūkeko Who-keko?', and it'll be out in July through Penguin. I can't wait for people to see it - it's a fun one.

Manu Caddie “it is outrageous - Gisborne District Council issuing consents to plant thousands of hectares of pine trees in red and yellow zones.” “It's happening across the region- decisions to plant pines on some the most erosion-prone land in the world is tantamount to eco-terrorism,” #nzpol

Hey Aotearoa can we have a discussion about why the fark our Telcos are still signing up to Starlink, and the risks this poses to our comms networks?
