But because they are weirdly well funded and refuse to discuss social issues, digital rights and how schools catalyse harm. Brianna was killed by another child not a phone 323377

Flightless Fairy @noflightfairy.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Not saying there's an easy answer *at all*, but the question feels to me a crucial one around figuring out what constraints are needed in the now for productive tangata whenua/Tiriti organising, and what those might look like in the future 110
Flightless Fairy @noflightfairy.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Seeing this play out is reminding me of multiple occasions in the last decade or so when tauiwi support of noho whenua at Ihumātao and Shelly Bay were frowned upon because there were Māori on both sides at a given point in those struggles, so many tauiwi decided it was easier to stay back. 110
