FUCK YES. This is the energy, morality, and courage that I expect from leaders. Unbelievably brave.

The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, literally used himself as a human shield to protect students from police violence

Azerbaijan 's Ramiz Alakbarov signs into the core tenet of Liberal Zionism: Palestinian suffering can only be acknowledged after Israeli narrative & Israeli suffering and the supremacy of both and Palestinian inferiority are acknowledged and amplified.

Israel will approve of Azerbaijan's Ramiz Alakbarov while continuing its attack on the United Nations: "Families were murdered in their homes, including children and the elderly. Young people were hunted down at a music festival. Women and men were subjected to brutal acts of sexual violence."

Ramiz Alakbarov 'forgets' to mention Israel killed almost all its captives who didn't survive: "We remember all the hostages who did not return alive from Gaza, including those murdered by their captors, and extend our deepest condolences to their families who continue to mourn their loved ones."

Ramiz Alakbarov is Azeri. Israel helped its ally Azerbaijan to defeat Armenia and drive 120 000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh. "The accounts of captivity are deeply distressing. There is no justification for the deliberate killing, injury or abduction of civilians, or for the taking of hostages."

Ramiz Alakbarov, as Israel and the United States block United Nations' UNRWA from bringing aid into Gaza and say it will be bannes from Gaza: "The names and faces of the victims remain etched in the memory of a nation, while survivors carry the physical and emotional scars of what they endured." .

Ramiz Alakbarov, while Israel bombs Gaza and has closed all UN schools in occupied East Jerusalem: "While I visited Nir Oz, walked among the burned homes of a devastated community and spoke with survivors, I was reminded that the passage of time cannot erase the pain of those hours and days."

Israel has murdered over 400 United Nations workers but Ramiz Alakbarov doesn't care about it, promoting Israeli propaganda. Nor does he care that Israel attacks United Nation's refugee agency UNRWA, destroyed and closes down its health centres, schools, vocational colleges and headquarters.

UN's Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Ramiz Alakbarov does Liberal #Zionism: "The lives and suffering of civilians in Gaza cannot be ignored. Acknowledging that suffering does not diminish the atrocities of 7 October, nor does it equate the two." reliefweb.int/report/occup...

There is a psychological phenomenon called the "just-world bias" that causes humans to victim blame. Essentially: this person must have done something to deserve bad thing happening to them, because if they didn't, it could also happen to me. (Wrapped up in "disability = bad" thinking, of course.)

Christ, this has triggered a memory... Many years back I was using a wheelchair (and struggling! and in lots of pain!) - a woman pointed at me & said to her child, "That's what happens if you don't look before you cross the road." People really will make *any* visible disability your own fault.

Both Chris's agree on not raising benefits to reduce child poverty.. #nzpol

Despite Luxon clearly changing is tune to appeal to the public (earlier this year it was revealed he wanted to express support for Trump’s war), Hipkins says he only disagrees with Trump’s ‘position’ & criticises Luxon for being undiplomatic about an evil act. Instead, Chippy could have said… #nzpol

I’m losing track of how many times Hipkins comes out and says “We won’t commit to reversing the current govt’s [XYZ] policy” despite Labour previously, and justifiably, being extremely vocal about how bad each policy is. Better starts when? #nzpol

Hipkins non-committal on reversing three major benefit changes

Chris Hipkins has admitted Labour is not committing to reversing a law change that meant 18 and 19 year olds could only receive the Jobseeker benefit if they were from very low income families.

I'm with Tamatha. There's no moral justification for billionaires. Their excess wealth could be redistributed, at no discernable detriment to them, to ensure that everybody else has enough of our collective limited resources. #nzpol

…promising 1000 more serious violent crimes? Do they have to be prosecuted and convicted and sentenced by the courts? Does this mean he’ll build another prison the size of Rimutaka, to house all his new inmates? It was such an odd thing to say that some assumed he’d meant to…

During the TVNZ Leaders' Debate on October 6, 2026, National Party leader Christopher Luxon explicitly stated, “And I’ll put 1000 more gang members into prison.” Hello, what? Do they have to commit crimes first? Does that mean Luxon is…

France is now being told that it needs more fiscal restraint. Let me be blunt: that is neoliberalism prescribing more neoliberalism to cure the failure of neoliberalism. go.bsky.app/redirect?u=h...

France get there before the U.K yet again!?

'France increasingly appears to be reaching the point where the demands made by the neoliberal economic order are incompatible with what its population is willing to tolerate. That is potentially much more important.' www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/10...

Is France jettisoning neoliberalism?

I watched a series of news broadcasts last night, all of which referred to what is now being called a polycrisis in France. As a consequence, the thought occurred to me that France might be leading th...
