Please have very serious conversations with people you know about doing something for Palestine. We can't let this happen. It's an inexcusable act and we have a duty of self care to eachother to not be silent on genocide.

Just in case you think that the suppression against activists in UK and USA can't happen here, it's already happened here. Tiki Taane was arrested for singing NWA Fuck The Police in 2011 #nzpol
A screenshot of a digital text excerpt about New Zealand musician and political activist Tiki Taane. It describes an incident in April 2011 when Taane was arrested during a performance at Tauranga’s R18 Illuminati Superclub for performing N.W\.A.'s 1988 anti-police protest song “Fuck Tha Police.” He was charged with inciting violence, though the charge was later dropped as a misunderstanding. The text highlights how his performance of rap was viewed as threatening and politically provocative. A month later, Taane recorded a song titled “Freedom to Sing” at the same venue as a defiant response. The excerpt includes lyrics from the song:

You can charge me with whatever you want
But you can’t take my freedom to sing
You can lock me up and throw away the key
But you can’t what’s inside of me
Ooh freedom, freedom to sing
(Tiki Taane, 2011)

Those so dogmatic against online voting without proposing any better alternative don't see how its a self defeating stance especially when it comes to us disabled people #nzpol
A meme titled “THE ‘WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ONLINE VOTING’ PARADOX.” The image shows a circular flow chart with four arrows pointing clockwise between four text bubbles.

1. Top right: “DISABLED PEOPLE ASK FOR MORE ACCESSIBLE VOTING OPTIONS LIKE ONLINE VOTING AS IT’S THE MOST ACCESSIBLE ESPECIALLY SINCE OUR CARERS AND SUPPORT WAS CUT.”
2. Bottom right: “ABLE BODIED LEFTISTS AND LIBERALS SAY NO BECAUSE IT COULD BE SABOTAGED (FORGETTING THAT SO CAN PHYSICAL AND MAIL IN BALLOTS).”
3. Bottom left: “NATIONAL ACT AND NZ FIRST WIN, STRIPPING EVEN MORE ACCESSIBILITY FROM PEOPLE MAKING IT EVEN HARDER TO VOTE.”
4. Top left: “LEFTISTS AND LIBERALS SHAME THOSE WHO DIDN’T VOTE.”

The cycle repeats, illustrating the paradox.

Libs be like "The only way to stop a bad guy with a military industrial complex and inhumane deportation complex is a good guy with a military industrial complex and inhumane deportation complex" Sure, when Democrats win you get domestic peace, but internationally everyone else suffers under both.

No matter what, extreme heat, bad air quality, storms and power outages are hard on my body. More often than not disabled people aren’t factored in to emergency planning. Include us & plan for us. It’ll make everyone safer. www.disabledginger.com/p/disabled-p...

Disabled People are the Canaries in the Coal Mine
When it comes to natural disasters, pandemics, or disruptions to "normal" life, disabled people are proverbial canaries. We get hit harder and faster than others. Why aren't we factored into plans?

This makes me uncomfortable. Oprah Winfrey belongs in the hauge or something. Her head count must be up there. Jacinda out there doing book stuff with her, makes me think less of Jacinda whether she wanted to be there or not. She will profit from this advertising. Money was exchanged here. #ABLEISM

Historian and journalist Craig Murray: Perhaps somebody might explain to me the moral difference between: herding starving people into "food distribution points" then shooting them, and herding people into "shower rooms" then gassing them?

How Chris acts we he thinks no ones watching. How f*n embarrassing how we have so many pakeha politicians who have this sort of decorum when allegedly representing people in this country. It doesn't matter if Māori didn't vote for you Chris you're supposed to represent everyone. Have some f*n class.

Nothing says Class Traitor thsn appeasing the Labour Party who are the most disloyal to left voters by proxy of narc tactics against tpm and greens. It is in plain sight. Calling it something else is not leftist. Only naming it what it is do we take its power. It is an act of White Supremacy.

I have an article on this phenomenon that Labour keeps causing, I call it political homelessness. Like how long time Labour voters run away from their home (Labour) because Labour makes it hard to tolerate, this pushes people to different political homes #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/kaimataa...

Disability justice is not just about ramps and access— it’s about tearing down every system that tells us some bodies are worth less than others. Capitalism, racism, ableism, and colonialism are intertwined; our liberation must be too Punga #disability #justice #leftist #ableism #racism #punga
