As always the problem isn't generational. I'd guarantee most kids of billionaires and wealthy landlords are growing up to be awful little shits.

Yet again, we see that Labour is more willing to capitulate to and work with right wing Government parties, than the Greens and Te Pāti who they will likely need the support of to form a future Labour-led government.
It was "pretty unlikely" that Labour MPs would engage in filibustering, he said.

"I have once again, this morning, reiterated to the government that if they are willing to compromise, they bring this back to something that is sensible and in line with Parliament's own rules and practices and our own recent history - then we will support this being a quick debate."

This powerful billboard was spotted in London 🇵🇸 It all started in 1948 💔, not October 7” A reminder to the world: the Nakba never ended. #Nakba77 #FreePalestine
A large billboard on a brick building in London shows a powerful message:
“It all started on 1948” — with "Oct 7" crossed out in red.
Next to the text is a red handprint symbolizing blood and resistance.
Hashtag #NAKBA77 is included at the bottom right.
The poster highlights the ongoing Palestinian Nakba since 1948.

Flip your center in US history from white people to Black and Indigenous people, look at the Exclusion Acts, and understand the US isn't sliding towards fascism. It is reverting to its original state. And your utopian dreams about European comfort, freedom, etc? Yeah, take a harder look.

How to say "ethnic cleansing" in NYT-speak
Mr. Smotrich has long advocated for _helping Gazans who want to leave to depart_ and for the Israeli military to remain in the enclave in order to pave the way for eventual Jewish settlement there.

All the anti DEI, anti education, anti medicine, anti ADA stuff is just eugenics in a new dress. Hope that clears up any confusion. The neo nazi, neo Confederate marriage is yielding a monstrous fruit. We have seen it and the only solution was to rip it out at the roots. Kthxbye

I’m sorry but the premise Israel is targeting “Hamas fighters” is false and largely pretexual. Sometimes, sure, but in general they are just mass killing civilians, that they also happened to kill some of the guys firing back is incidental and only to better facilitate this central goal of genocide.

Whilst I feel sorry that the Spinoff is struggling financially, there is no way I’m giving them money as their founder, Duncan Grieve, has used the Spinoff to launder David Seymour’s reputation almost since its inception

Here's a rumour I want to start for multiple reasons but a major one is that it will piss Seymour and his supporters off. Let's push the idea he is actually a double agent, his agenda is to hasten constitutional transformation and tino rangatiratanga. He's created the conditions for it.

Tusiata on Hana, in which one queen honours another tusiata.substack.com/p/in-praise-...
And today, Hana-Rawhiti rose –

more than stood – she rose

like Nafanua, goddess of war

like Hine-nui-te-po, goddess of death

like the wahine toa who is exactly like herself

She rose from that place full of insects

and she tore that white bill –

white as the whites of her eyes

staring down the hulking enemy on the battlefield

She tore that white bill right through the backbone

tore it into two and she held it

one in each fist

like the two flags of war

like the twin battle-clubs only the war goddess holds

and she shook them in the faces of those

enemies with hearts as empty as their faces –

This principal should not use Māori Kupu without understanding the tikanga that comes with it. Haka is an expression, spitting is part of that expression. This is a selective appropriation of our culture. You don't get to pick and choose what you see as "acceptable".
