Roger Douglas is once again making headlines at age 87. The former Finance Minister is using the pretext of the economic crisis to call for Nicola Willis to resign and for the Coalition to implement even harsher austerity measures.
Read my piece about it:

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Hannah Tamaki. The post includes a shared article from nzherald.co.nz with a headline reading: “Protesting Christian priests invite Willis to break bread outside electorate office.” The photo in the article shows two ministers holding books and a sign that reads “LOVE DEMANDS ACTION.” Both men are wearing clerical collars, one in a black coat and glasses, the other with a beard and purple stole. Hannah Tamaki’s caption above asks: “Who are these guys? What churches are they from??”
"What churchs are they from??"
Ones that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ
Not surprised Hannah Tamaki is unfamiliar
Good news! NZ union density has been steadily increasing among workers aged 15-44 for the last 9 years, and increased significantly in the year after the Coalition took power in 2023. [1/4]
The image is a photograph of a person at a rally holding up a sign that has "PUBLIC SERVICE SAVES LIVES!!" handwritten across it with a PSA braded band across the top. The bottom third of the image is solid black with "PSA litigation stops health restructure of three directorates" in white text.
📢The PSA has agreed with Health NZ Te Whatu Ora that the planned restructure of three directorates will stop and that the litigation relating to these restructures is withdrawn. www.psa.org.nz/news-media/p...

Luxon is selling NZ as “a poster child for stability” amidst a “storm.”
Why is the PM selling us to the highest bidder as this bastion of stability, when at the exact same time his govt is engineering the conditions NZ to rapidly become more unstable?

I watched the first episodes of s1 when they came out but ended up putting off watchinf thr finale for so long that by the time i did season 2 came out like a week later, so i didnt have to wait to see the follow up to that cliffhanger like everyone else
My first post on Substack!
"As the Coalition moves to partially privatise our healthcare system, and Seymour fatally undermines the free school lunch programme, it is time for us to take to the streets and fight back."

ofc this is only the slightest taste of what more visible trans people go through every fuckin day so i can count myself lucky that I'm not more known but still yeah it fuckin sucks
not to beat the dead horse of "wow twitter sucks", bc we know at this point but i posted this article on twitter too and jesus christ it got swarmed by just the worst people in the world. Having RW freaks speculate about my gentiles was definitely not something i expected
I wrote an article talking about the rising threat of Destiny Church and what we can do to oppose them (hint it involved ahowing up for this rally today)

A poster with an illustration of a transgender person hitting Destiny Church's logo with a hammer. Text reads: Defying Destiny: Day of Queer Power. Doctor Emmy Rākete, Chloe Swarbrick, Rev. Mua Strickson-Pua. Sunday 23rd Feb, 2pm, Albert Park Rotunda. These queers bash back.
Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet.
PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.
lmao

I mean fucking ANDREW TATE, has opinions on Māori now, you absolutely hate to see it
Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke's haka going viral is fantastic. The downside, unfortunately, is that now we do have the worst people in the world talking about us on twitter.
