“What this nation needs as we build bundles of big beautiful roads is not another round of hand-wringing, airy-fairy woke utopianism. We need a sensible, boots-on-the-deck approach to securing our energy future. And yes, harvesting the noble whale for its bountiful oil is the common-sense solution.🧵

Since when do the people committing the genocide get to negotiate the terms of its cessation? A peace plan only makes sense if there is a war. Which there is not. #FreePalestine

This is exactly why democrats choose capital over socialism. Cause the naively think “titans of industry” care about society. Never gave, never will.

It will be notable if NZ doesn’t line up with the “traditional allies” - it’s a bullshit concept but in this instance could betray Luxons foreign policy double standard - he lines up with Trumps USA while in full reactionary monster mode but doesn’t line up with UK, Aus, Canada against genocide?!

Shameless Zionism and genocide apologists Act Party are almost certainly the reason for NZs laggard status on recognising Palestine. #onetermgovt

Once a proud forerunner in progressive foreign policy, NZ now shamefully lags behind Australia, Canada and those wretched old colonisers England and France who’ve joined over 150 countries in recognising the state of Palestine. #onetermgovt #nzpol #freepalestine

FBI can get the hell out of NZ. We’re an independent sovereign nation. This is a shameful obsequious kowtowing to the world’s biggest bully. #nzpol

Trump stands in America’s warmongering tradition of unprovoked attacks on sovereign states and poodle-like obedience to Israel. Neutrality in the face of superpower aggression is untenable. New Zealand must condemn Israel and US unilateral attacks on Iran. #nzpol

Terrible tyranny-of-the-majority decision against Te Pāti Māori last night. Luxon government used their domination of a committee of parliament to excessively punish an opposition party for dissent against the Tiriti nullifying treaty principles bill. A dark day for New Zealand democracy. #nzpol

I agree with Louisa Wall re Te Pati Māori haka penalty that, “The punishment is not only unprecedented — it is disproportionate, procedurally flawed and democratically dangerous.” @Luxon has turned Parliament’s Privileges Committee into a kangaroo court. #nzpol

Acting Prime Minister Winston Peters just paraphrased Macbeth to justify the fell-swoop killing of pay equity laws. “If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.” - From Macbeth's soliloquy before he kills King Duncan. #nzpol

Luxon is a fool but the Nats still have experienced people yet all of them have stood by apparently too self absorbed to notice Seymour siphoning the power out of their hands and into his. Absolute omnishambles from top to bottom.

Love hearing this. At the very end, only once, he runs the basis of the now familiar main lyric melody too. The foundation of so much of what we regard as western pop music is out of Africa, including via the stolen people forcibly brought to the Americas.

I would only add to this that the whole concept of western civilisation is racist and was used along with social Darwinism to justify multitudes of brutal colonisations and genocides across the world (and still is #Palestine) which invariably suits the accumulation of wealth and capital by the few.

I don't think the spike in Treaty Principles Bill submissions was generated by bots. We saw a similar spike in usage of the Greenpeace submission builder: greenpeace.nz/qc6hwb It primarily came from social media and Google search.

A graph shows usage from November to Jan 8 is mostly flat but has a large spike in the final two days.
