In the first half of the 20th century, as fascism surged worldwide, Christchurch’s elite developed an obsession with … wellness and sunbathing? The will to create a generation of physically and mentally superior citizens reflected a peculiar time in the city’s history.

It's up to NZ'ers, & their policymakers to determine if Brian Tamaki's Destiny Church continues as a charity. My position, that it should not, is (1) anchored to research going back to 2021, & (2) research over the past fortnight prefacing violence in Te Atatu/Auckland. I'm sharing this broadly now.

I'm honestly impressed at the degree to which Shane Jones sold out eh, dude turned it into an art form.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I feel like more needs to be made of this. It's been an overt attack in the House from the Deputy PM and Cabinet on the equal rights of citizens to participate in our electoral system, and any migrant or child of migrants should find it as chilling as I do.

What are New Zealanders eating? We don’t really know. Our last national nutrition survey is decades old. Time for the Govt to step up and fund a new one. #nzfood&grocery council #healthdata www.phcc.org.nz/briefing/dec...

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet. PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.

“I started to get really scared when the chanting got louder and we heard it inside and especially when they were banging on the door. I was scared they were going to get in,” Sammy (11) says. “I thought they’d come in and hurt people.” emilywrites.substack.com/p/i-thought-...

I'm sure Ms Chen's clients are very concerned about road safety, whatever she personally believes or is arguing in court. Road safety is definitely the most likely motivation for hiring a prominent and expensive lawyer to challenge a rainbow crossing. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/legality-...

Must be wild to be an American at the moment. I mean you're indoctr. from birth that you're living in the free-ist, bestest, gun-loving-ist to keep tyranny at bay-ist, most righteously democratic nation in the world. Only to wake up to find it has been built on pillars of sand, so easily dismantled.

As someone who was injured and reported it to police I think it’s interesting the article says otherwise. There were multiple assaults, blood drawn, assaulted teenagers etc. The article really undersells the vibe.
