Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Polls are always unreliable, and they seem extra specially unreliable in the current climate. But that's okay! Because they never change what we collectively need to do. Help people get enrolled to vote, donate funds or time if you can, onwards together we go. #nzpol

Same thing in NZ: same population as Ireland, both emit 3-4 MtCO2/year from heavy vehicles. NZ has 200k trucks & buses, of which just 900 (mostly smaller) trucks and 300 buses are electric.

Chris penk looks cleverer by the day. The only* Nat thinking Luxon is an electoral liability. What a time to be alive. *I'm so happy for all those candidates that put their futures in luxon's hands.

They got ahead of the game by making it cheaper to buy utes and ute derived SUVs. Must feel just great filling those up knowing that the purchase price cut was paid for by cancelling EV rebates. www.beehive.govt.nz/release/easi...

In an election this tight, every vote matters But National changed the rules that always allowed Kiwis to register in a relaxed way in the 2 weeks prior to election This was voter suppression It is deeply undemocratic- potentially cutting 175,000 voters Get registered vote.nz/enrolling/en...

It's awful for local nat campaigns in the marginals. Luxon is a metaphorical albatross.* And I reckon there's a bunch of people out there thinking about a tactical vote for opportunity. *Real albatrosses are awesome!

It's a worry. I did very well yesterday not to say anything to the local nat. I'm still annoyed to have even set eyes on him. His billboards are everywhere. I will be loving it when our wonderful young wahine Labour candidate wins and we never see his gurning mug again.

Good work! There's no right wing door knocking where I live. If there were, I'd say I'm undecided & engage them in as long a conversation as I could to waste their time. Anyone on the left: you've got my vote, go get some more! But yeah, no gunna lie, telling them the fck off you be delicious.

Do you like more trains? Because the Greens will push for MORE And unlike a blue or red party that over-promises and/or poorly-delivers We will deliver at the right pace by following the advice by Te Waihanga and our local councils (apparently that's too difficult for some parties to do). #nzpol
Potential routes for mass rapid transit

We’ll take advice from the Infrastructure Commission and councils

NZ Labour promises immediate pay rise for care + support workers. This will obviously help those workers and their families AND will also help local economies too. Low wage workers spend most of their income locally. Pay surety will also reassure care recipients. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Labour releases its fiscal plan, promises pay rise for care and support workers
Labour has released its long-awaited fiscal plan saying every election promise is paid for, but it has not provided a cost for fully re-implementing pay equity legislation.

Just a reminder on behalf of national that Taranaki is just the place to put a great big explody LNG terminal. What could possibly go wrong? It's not as if they are putting it somewhere that gets earthquakes under a frikin' volcano.

Ugh. I remember all the bullshit around seabed mining driving away a nascent wind industry in Taranaki. I guess the wind bros weren't making the Right donations. But hey, why support regional development, jobs and local energy security when you can spend billions importing fossil fuels?

I'm expecting act and NZ Fist to start a bidding war around who can mandate coal ranges and open fires fueled by the people's fuel: lignite. Jones to announce Southland Fischer–Tropsch plant and vehicle manufacturing plants to take lignite to liquids and V8 utes to the world!

And still not properly insulated, nor designed to manage solar gain nor with proper whole of house ventilation. At least they aren't fast tracking housing in high natural hazard zones. Not even national would pander to its developer donors so blatantly. No. Wait...
