I Lied My Way Into a MAGA Focus Group What I heard from Trump voters when they thought I was one of them—and what I told them.

"Because the moment you decide your personal gain matters more than the system, and the people it’s meant to serve, you’re no longer participating in democracy.

You’re stripping it for parts."

The only time I knew for certain, was because she was in the same department as me. She walked in while I was getting changed for a job interview, and actually offered to leave. I said I was all good thanks, and she gave me some makeup advice, cos I suck at the girly stuff.

Again, imagine Greens co-leders Chlöe Swarbrick & Marama Davidson or any other woman on the left putting this kind of pout-and-flounce then the Press Pack NOT throwing it in their faces at every opportunity until the heat death of the universe.

You can't?

Sit with that for a minute.

New Zealand Last are doing Christchurch shooter ideology — again.

NZF are becoming a Neo-Nazi party.

If you know someone who STILL supports them despite this, it’s long past time to hound them relentlessly as vile racists supporting Nazism.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Iwi leader voices need for government to support marae with severe weather The Government says it won't set up another dedicated fund to reimburse marae for their work leading up to Cyclone Vaianu.

Pre-fund marae for disaster relief work, you ungrateful bums. #NzPol

ANALYSIS: Government set to reduce Treaty in legislation to lowest possible standard - what it means Sweeping changes to Treaty clauses across 23 laws could lower te Tiriti to its weakest legal standard, reshaping how it influences decisions in health, environment and beyond.

yes we've all been frothing with the coup, meanwhile Mani Dunlop is out here reporting on this fuckery and what it means.

Disaster and disease monitors among 700 science jobs lost A new report pleads for the coalition Government to reverse its cuts to the science sector if it wants to see it profit

This destroys the fabric of New Zealand - our security, the things that make us a society #nzpol It is deliberate and the involvement of the laughingly-titled NZ First is a disgrace #Sellout newsroom.co.nz/2026/04/16/d...

For anyone in Aotearoa doubting the rape academy I have one word: Roastbusters.

We know what this is, we know how it goes.

And we can end it. We absolutely must.

What if men worked to end it now, forever? What a better world we would have, for everyone.

We're living at the pointy end of this. Tech married to a research scientist, him bouncing from contract to contract often with a long time between them. Son is disabled so we can't move. A lot of the time we have to live on my 3/4 of a job. We are *extremely* good at wasting talent in this country.

The standard budget advice is to buy food in season. Even seasonal fruit and vegetables are expensive this year, and with diesel shortages, that will likely get worse. Our usual source of cheaper veggies are frozen, and guess which factories are closing down.
