Far too close to the shitty status quo, which is on-brand for Labour these days. Imagine if people were able to get a university degree for the price Winston Peters paid: Nada, zip, zilch, nothing. That'd be a policy worth party-voting for. Oh, right, that's the @greens.org.nz policy. #nzpol

This is what happens when profit-driven corporations axe people of color to please the racists in charge. We need diverse perspectives on teams so shit like this doesn't make it to market. Especially when actual lynchings are on the rise. For shame. TL;DR - Woke is good, actually.

They could start by watching An Inconvenient Truth or The Age of Stupid. The rest of us watched them 20 years ago, know exactly what's about to happen and are exhausted from screaming about it. Thanks for nothing, finance bros. 🫡

This juxtaposition. 🤦‍♀️ Spare a thought for dual citizens of countries where both have horrific rw governments and are heading into general elections just a few days apart. We really get double the feed fun, don't we @kiwistevemc.bsky.social ?

Kiwi friends: I went to pre-order this the other day but for the life of me I couldn't figure out the best place to do that in Aotearoa. Any advice?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mamdani for World Mayor. Labour could learn so much watching him consistently cut through bullshit & deliver the things that matter. Instead, it's more pandering to the wealthy, hoping that maybe this time it'll start trickling down 🙄 Insanity. #nzpol

I've been hearing "tāiki ē" in karakia. Today, I finally looked it up. Pretty sure this means it's "LFG!" In Te Reo. maoridictionary.co.nz/word/13579 (I missed the resurgence of Māori language and culture while living overseas. Trying to catch up now so feel free to correct me when I screw up.)

What privacy? When social media platforms are allowed to build giant data profiles on consumers without their properly informed consent (miss me with your wall-of-legalese TOU, ty) this happens: substack.com/@sugarrhi/no...

One of the *many* reasons we shouldn't be locking social media access behind identity verification, for anyone, regardless of age. Corporations cannot be trusted to protect our privacy. cc @miriamruthross.bsky.social @greens.org.nz #nzpol

@jamellebouie.net's secret sauce is... The. Fucking. Truth. We would be in a much better place if more people, especially journalists and billionaires, would utilize his Super Simple Secret Sauce.

Reminder: the US used trade agreements to force *many* countries to mirror shitty anti-consumer legislation (like DMCA) under threat of tariffs, and then did tariffs anyway. Every trade partner should tear up those agreements - and those regulations - and rewrite the rules of global trade. #nzpol

The stories of Preston and Natalie Harp are about the strongest case against unregulated Christian #homeschooling that I can imagine. One supports a (rhetorically) socialist dictator and the other, a fascist pedophile. Their mother evidently primed them to be brainwashed.

Stein is a blight. Meanwhile in NZ and the UK we have real Green Parties, who are actually in government and pump out phenomenal policy on the daily. *Our* Green parties are led by three incredible, locally-focused leaders, rather than Putin's puppet, cosplaying a politician in a two-party system.

I first thought Gates was vaguely bad, then understood him to be a philandering shithead, but TIL he's actually a murderer. All billionaires exploit. We need to eradicate them. (By which I mean tax them into non-existence, not something more nefarious.)

@greens.org.nz can we please make this the standard, instead of metrics that bury the truth behind the success of the ultra-wealthy?

Spectacular reading for TERFs, not that they'll bother until it's too late. Stop listening to that evil wizard woman and heed Martin Niemöller's warning already. Trans women are women and bigots should go extinct.

Read this and reflect... NZ's tax code is even better for billionaires and worse for normal people than the US tax code. Only 🟢 @greens.org.nz is offering a better deal for Kiwis this coming election. Choose wisely. #VoteGreen #nzpol

“As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids’ health and safety.” Apparently being "a doctor" doesn't extend to internalizing the evidence on suicide rates of trans kids who are persecuted by adults in power.

Every single representative who voted for this law (and all others like it) should be charged with the murder of every constituent who is pushed to suicide as a result. Especially the children.

Feeling this one in the depths of my big tech escapee soul. "A subset of humanity is committed to a world where everyone else takes orders from them. We have different names for these people. We call the majority of them “toddlers,” but we call the others “bosses” or “tyrants.”"

Aotearoa: we have ONE DAY LEFT to make submissions on this and four other bills. If anyone’s stuck for inspo on either the Conservation or Gender Definition bills HMU and I’ll share my PDFs. You might want to tone down my anger a bit though. Or maybe not. #nzpol

We need to sear this value into our very souls and then bleed it every day. "Politics isn’t about finding people who agree w/you on everything. It’s finding enough people to push the jeep out of the mud together." #uspol & #nzpol : same problems, slightly different time horizons.

I cut this way too close, whanau, but finally completed my submission on NZ First’s horrific and hateful anti-trans bill. You have 4 days remaining to add your voice. #KillTheBill

I've put like 60 hours on this game in early access. Best survival builder I've ever played. Minecraft + The Sims (house building) + BoTW/ToTK, but darker. Crushes Valheim, better than Palworld. Check out some community builds on YT. If Minecraft holds nostalgia; this is your graduation game.

Screw it. Made my own call to action. I wish I had a Kiwi policy example but I think the point stands. Young people need to register and vote or old people will decide their fate, then kick the bucket. vote.nz/enrol WDYT? Should I print a stack and plaster them all over Otago Uni? #nzpol
A graphic from YouGov showing where Brexit voters now stand, compared to how they voted back then. Notably around 3.2 million people who voted to 'Leave' the EU have since died - that's 18.4% of the 17.4 million who voted that way, AND, the VAST majority of 3 million new voters want to 'Rejoin'.

I have so many questions. Is it actually true that for every evil billionaire there's a JB Pritzker or Mackenzie Scott? I'd have thought that the ratio of good:evil billionaires was more like 1:100. Can we name 36 'good' billionaires? Might be a stretch.

Giving first peoples flag emojis that they own and identify with, as an alternative to the ones imposed by their colonialist oppressors, seems like a slam dunk, so I signed. Pls consider joining. Is it time to rerun our flag referendum yet? #nzpol

This is a GREAT illustration for young people on why they should vote. So Grandma, with her FB-disinformation-addled thinking and little remaining skin in the game, doesn't make a choice with far-reaching impact on those young people then kark it before she feels any of the pain she bequeathed.

Calling my fellow #nzpol wonks. Read this thread. Doctorow is talking about other countries but you'll see NZ in there anyway. We have to beat the drum loudly on the Greens' policies. If we can get people to listen/read long enough to understand then them they will be wildly popular.

Kinda same. My English teacher told me I was going to fail 5 minutes before my first ever school cert exam. So when I got a B (79) I successfully appealed my grade up to an A (80) and slapped it on her desk the following year.

Life as a dual citizen: Started reading this post and wondered whether it was about Donald Trump or Winston Peters. Had to read the second half to be sure. Let's get all octogenarians out of government in both countries. They're increasingly addled and have diminishing skin in the game #nzpol

This is why removing Trump won't get us back to "normal". Even if we reversed GOP abuses enacted during his administrations, for many people "normal" was already wildly unfair and dangerous to their existence. It's just worse now. And the Gang of Putin really likes that.

Can it host an index of regime sycophants, documentation of their many crimes, and culminate in a partnership with Anonymous to hack, host, and publicize the unredacted kompromat that led each individual to fall in line? A Nuremberg prosecutorial playbook, if you will.

Everyone should read this and know what Palantir does and who its leaders are. NZ should NEVER have allowed Thiel to buy citizenship. Rod Drury and Xero have a lot to answer for. They threw open the door for the next Hitler. We already had enough of our own to deal with. #nzpol
