Nobody is in Charge. This is a good thing We're a sac of fluid attached to some calcium. Our entire operating system is made of lard. Bluesky IS an echo chamber, it resonates, it harmonises, it HUMS

"Targeted investments that bring expertise and technology are vital to an isolated economy such as New Zealand. But selling our core infrastructure because the Government decided to cut taxes? That’s like selling your house to pay for a holiday." - Shane Te Pou archive.ph/L7nuO

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Phew... Lucky this gov don't see ferries & wharfs as critical infrastructure. #nzpol

Pinned until further notice…

Effing Mongoose, I spat on my phoneeeeee 💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂

No, I have full confidence that Trump's Whore Kash Patel isn't an idiot, why do you ask?

Following his Nazi salute, Steve Bannon engages in unalloyed antisemitism, calling progressive US Jews the "#1 enemy...inside the wire" for Israelis, "progressive Jewish billionaires funding all this stuff", disloyal to Israel & MAGA

‘Orwellian’ -a very clear statement from Dorian Lynskey @dorianlynskey.bsky.social in the Independent.

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

“I couldn’t, in all honestly, remain in my roles. The government didn’t seem interested in listening to genuine public health advice.” — Collin Tukuitonga.

The cruelty is the point, as @adamserwer.bsky.social has said:

The Minister produced an entire smorgasbord of bullshit in response "we're" - we WHO, exactly? MinEd? Snapchat to teenage girls? "getting a lot" - define "lot", 1/day, 10, 1,000? Numbers asshole "of feedback from principals" - so not the kids, but their supervisors, also HOW MANY principals?

Funny how police will organize for this protest, and not for Rainbow Storytimes which have been under threat for over a year now. Hypocrites. #nzpol #rainbowstorytime #destinychurchisacult #nzpoliceareweak www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/protest-a...

Meanwhile...

Hah, Trump will take from that the message, "THIS is a dictator, be MORE like him"

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

It was ALWAYS about controlling women All women From birth to death

Timeline cleanse Tomato harvest well under way, picking about 4.5-5kg every day for over a week now, another week or so, maybe 10 days to go. Aren't they just beautiful?

I think Musk has just about done his dash, the P2025 people have stepped in and are taking control now Musk wanted to wreck those who regulated him and loot their coffers, but he isn't interested in purging the military, that is straight out of the P2025 playbook The original coup is back on track

FOLLOWUP: SECDEF Hegseth also firing the CNO, the USAF Vice-Chief, and somewhat unusually and ominously to do in the same breath, the senior JAGs of the Army, Navy, and USAF

The boneheaded stupid part is that Trump wants eternal royalties off Ukr minerals while helping Putin make it part of Russia If that ever happens, Putin will tell the US "fuck off, *I* own Russian resources, but nice of you to make it easy"

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

I mean, good on David Fisher for continuing to report on this and dig out the real scandal about lax privacy controls and the police, but let's not forget the Herald's initial reporting on this was a Green beat-up via their "source", right-wing provocateur Leo Molloy. They knew what they were doing.

I think people have fundamentally misunderstood the multiple roles conspiracies fill in a fascist movement. The conspiracies are both a permission giving structure and a tool to neuter push back when they actually deploy their own agenda of industrial death. “Well the dems were doing it already”

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Our political system is broken and has always been broken. However, there are now bad actors (ACT and National) bribed by big overseas oil money (Atlas network) who are willing to exploit these flaws in our broken system. This is a WAKE UP call for everyone! We need systemic change! #nzpol

Supermarket surveillance makes NZ’ers vulnerable to crime & corruption. How much can security & others find out re: Pak n Save’s & New World’s customers? Surveillance must be withdrawn until customers privacy/safety is assured. Pull it now Foodstuffs & tell us of all the other breaches #nzpol

This is true, but it is also an anachronism In the world of 1945, with the vast majority of natural resources still untapped, VERY basic electronics and a generally benign climate with <2bn humans to feed they could carve up the planet and fight in Africa Not grandpa's world any more
