This policy would directly lead to physical abuse of disabled and neurodivergent children. Tell your friends. I'm absolutely serious.

The Free Speech Unions are nasty institutions that exist in #NZpol #auspol #UKpolitics #Cdnpoli #SouthAfrica They function to protect hate speech and mis/disinformation while masquerading as the saviours of the little [bigot]. Don’t be fooled by the show. lucyham29.substack.com/p/beware-the...
Can’t decide if my favourite thing today is the TPU deleting this post and the results because they lost their own poll or seeing the right wing councillors around the country bitching about amalgamation plans that no one wants to play with them over from the government THEY told people to vote for.

Lawrence Xu-Nan is my friend & one of the smartest people I know. Not only that, but from the moment I met him, he has been the smartest & most caring person. When I needed a hug after a tough day, he was the 1st to support me. We need good people in Parliament. Racism sucks. PARTY VOTE GREEN #nzpol
MAGA influencer and Trump appointee Nick Adams’ FLAG nonprofit has raised much of its money through a sweepstakes operation that has promised donors a chance to win $1,000,000 — a prize FLAG’s records show no evidence of ever paying.

National MPs that robbed 180,000 women of pay equity, cut funding to SA prevention and survivor organisations and made ACC more difficult for abuse survivors to access. They’re supporting their MP here but imo I think they’d be singing a different tune if it was a Green MP being attacked. #nzpol

Thank you @paulbarlownz.bsky.social for the chance to kōrero about Kiwipower and my campaign for Selwyn. The Greens have always been ahead of the curve for renewable energy - we're glad to have others get on board, however, this sort of investment must be publicly owned - for all of us!

Drink. Swim. Fish. It’s in our nature to care for Te Taiao and protect our wai - like the Ararira / LII River in Lincoln, where we can still go and see our native tūna. But for how long? The Greens’ new policy is what it looks like to put the environment front and centre this election. #nzpol
At this point it’s probably fair to ask, who is actually running NZ right now? When the Minister if Energy, The Commisioner for the Environment & Transpower all opposed Meridian energy drawing down up to 5m more water But it was approved anyway by a Fast-track panel? This isn’t good governance
Just had to explain who Peter Thiel is to my mother, a woman who has CNN on in her house every waking moment. Starting to think it’s a problem that men like this can just fly under the radar because their friends own the press.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?
The Supreme Court is about to hand down its final opinions of the term. Some of the most important decisions are still ahead. Here’s a preview of the cases that remain—and what I’ll be watching for as well as what else you need to be aware of this week. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
