Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Tamaki told a subordinate “I want you to storm the library they’re in and shut it down” and then he did. This is being discussed as stochastic violence but it is not random. He issued an order as the leader of an organisation, and the organisation carried it out. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/desiny-ch...

Yes. Allowing National to set the framework is not only counter to lefty principles, it's bad politics. Voters who want right leaning policies already have National to vote for; they don't need an ersatz right party. And left leaning voters will feel betrayed and vote elsewhere, or not at all #nzpol

Here's a progression of the sunrise from pre-dawn through sunup. I walked the beach for 75 minutes this morning, feet in the water, watching the dark sky slowly move through these colour shifts and into sunrise. Papatūānuku. This is a special place.

For those who have not yet got in a submission for the NZ puberty blockers regulation consultation (due 5pm tomorrow), this (published on the 16th) could be mentioned as exactly the kind of evidence that the review was saying was lacking so research like this should be included.

Kia ora, trans kiwis, allies, etc. our govt is currently considering restricting the usage of puberty blockers. Please consider leaving an email or survey response if possible, this would be a huge step back in our rights as NZers. www.health.govt.nz/publications...
