If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

China signing deals with the Cook Islands for their minerals, trump extorting Ukraine for their minerals, ‘ai’ being forced everywhere at such monetary cost that could literally be used to end world hunger instead. Tech might have been a mistake.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

with destiny church's abhorrent views in the press again, i think it's important not to forget all the white megachurches that hold identical views in new zealand: life church, city impact, arise etc. they are more discreet, but they all hang out and support each other: www.webworm.co/p/holyhell

These parklets are just so good - for the businesses, the patrons and for the vibrancy of our city streets. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

It’s called Gleichschaltung. And German history shows us where it can end. Again: we have the knowledge; we have the right words. That the US could still get to this point is such a terrible failure.

Auckland to Wellington in one day ON A BIKE??? This is an astonishing achievement by EF's Lachlan Morton. Not to mention a bloody big NZ sports story that's totally escaped our own media (I first read a about it in the Guardian) Oh yeah, it's also A GREAT YARN! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJlF...

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

It feels like a dystopian movie. Not enough is being said about Trump being recruited by the KGB forty years ago. This was at the height of the Cold War. When the Soviet Union was classed as the enemy. Who wanted to destroy America. You’d have to really hate America.

These are the lands I was born on. Half a million hectares were returned to Haida Gwaii Indigenous peoples in a ground breaking agreement #LandBack It can happen here in Aotearoa too #ToitūTeTiriti

As Gernot Wagner said over on Mastodon, Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Austerity in NZ, like not the stuff they've been trying so far - the real deep cuts to come - are going to be more visible than the school lunch disaster. In a country of 5 million, it's hard to conceal hacking at the social fabric on the scale that may be to come.

BREAKING An Aussie mining company is drilling at Sams Creek, Golden Bay preparing for a gold mine that could contaminate the pristine waters of Te Waikoropupū Springs

Think about it.

Love this youtu.be/jEOydUQXfl8?...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

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

Aussie mining company Siren Gold is drilling at Sams Creek Golden Bay before its permit expires in March. Env't Court recommended a Water Conservation Order for Te Waikoropupū in 2023. Gov't agreed. Te Waikoropupū Springs has some of clearest water in NZ. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

it's such a weirdly specific overlap that one of New Zealand's most vitriolic TERFs had this exact conversation with a friend of mine, like threatened to violently murder her for riding a bike. I wonder if there's a connection, a certain sort of person who sees any different approach as a threat

On the Mount Rushmore of people whose fault this is with Gingrich, Murdoch and Limbaugh.

I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/

Repress protesters and you repress democracy "The targeting of activists is particularly worrisome in the context of the climate backlash accompanying the global rise of the far right" #climatecrisis #nzpol #peoplepower newsroom.co.nz/2025/02/20/r...

PM’s push to directly appoint public service chiefs isn’t just about power—it’s a step towards privatisation. Politicising these roles opens the door for private interests to drive decisions, undermining fairness & accountability, & orchestrating a loss of trust in our institutions. #NZPol

Having expansionary fiscal policy, and fully funded public services would boost the economy even further than corporate tax cuts Why? Healthier, more educated, more productive, and fully housed citizenery Something tax cuts dont pay for www.nzherald.co.nz/business/eco...

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

This is a deliberate hollowing out of the state so it is increasingly unable to perform basic democratic functions effectively.

american immigrant James Cameron getting involved in Wellington stuff is Elon Musking in the south pacific and we should not stand for it

#NZPol Profit is up, but leaders double down on selfishness and burning more coal in a climate crisis. What a bunch of cunts. #NationaliseIt
