Media should be thoughtful about when and where they use the word "migrant". It's a potentially racialised term - what makes Ricardo Menendez-March (been here since 2006) a migrant but me (been here since 2018) an immigrant?

America aligning itself with Russia and China and threatening its former democratic allies is quite a sight to see. America is doing a 180° pivot and turning against the ideals it stood for since the 1940s.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Apparently the gutting of the National Science Foundation is underway at the moment. "More to come." One can debate whether cuts are warranted, but the mindless, know-nothing fashion in which they are being carried out is inexcusable. This will damage US science for generations.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

I'm getting increasingly worried about how we come back from this govt, even if they only have 1 term. They're fucking up so many things, firing so many experts, degrading our resilience, hollowing out our institutions, and encouraging a toxic public discourse that erodes trust and community. #nzpol

@nzjanette.bsky.social Trump refers to NZ today as a “3rd world country”. Given he can change the name of any place on the map by decree, and force everyone to accept it, does it mean NZ is set to become ‘Shithole Country’ on Google Maps? That’s his preferred name for impoverished countries.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
