If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. - Desmond Tutu

Perfectly captured.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers | Rebecca Shaw Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl

Screen shot of the Radio NZ News site with the headline “National’s Erica Stanford allegedly [sic] calls Labour’s Jan Tinetti a ‘stupid bitch’ “ along with side by side headshot photos of Stanford and Tinetti.

Is this a National Minister’s idea of those standards of Parliamentary behaviour Luxon was so keen on upholding last week? #nzpol

Text from Anthony Ruakere screenshot on LinkedIn A Dummies Guide to Te Tiriti - in 10 Easy Steps 1. Settlers liked what Māori had 2. Māori liked what settlers brought 3. Māori and settlers said "if we share our things, we will all be better off" 4. An agreement setting this out was signed 5. Settlers repeatedly breach the agreement 6. Settlers prosper 7. Māori suffer 8. Māori continue asking settlers to abide by agreement 9. Instead, some settlers now want agreement to be re-written 10. Māori say "ew David", no thanks

this post has everything, a dummies guide to Te Tiriti AND a Schitt's Creek reference. SO GOOD

Reminder that Shane Jones once wrote this in 2007, if you want to see what selling out your values looks like - he is the poster child.

Shit like this is why I don’t believe a word of it when lux and co say they won’t support the bill. They are already enacting it.

Debbie Ngarewa-Packer looks down on a pathetic, snivelling little shit-stain (David Seymour) from a balcony above him.

Wouldn't happen because she's a better person than me, but she should have spat on him.

A lot of Pākeha I know are all omg everything is fucked and all defeatist. Meanwhile lots of Māori I know are all rise up motherfuckers, let’s get going! Together!

Just had to get this one in, it’s my last one.

Gun n’ rose

Man at work

I feel like National and Act should sign a coalition agreement where the version National keeps says no to a referendum on Te Tiriti, and Act's version says that there will be. And then National can go by the version kept by and preferred by the larger party.

All right, which of you did this?

Already on the site waiting to order one 😊 Love the chopping boards too!

Here’s a thing I drew in 1987!

TBH I’d rather receive this to have a laugh at. Not the church stuff I got in my mailbox on Monday. An entire book about having an abundance of children and obedient wives etc. Glad my kids weren’t home, the words that came out of my mouth...Forgot to check who it was from, was Ruby something

Overall I am dubious as to whether a Party, namely NZF, is going to that helpful to the Left on some material matters when its *Number 3*, Casey Costello, "is a founding trustee of Hobson’s Pledge and former chairperson and board member of the Taxpayers’ Union."

Not too much I imagine.
