In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I loathe these articles, which always come with hidden privilege - an electric car, the ability to renovate. Same vibes as “we bought a home” (because we have generational wealth from our parents).
Media - the wealth distribution crisis isn’t about buying oats in bulk. Talk about taxing the rich.
AKA, I will keep arming an illegal, apartheid state of war criminals, rapists, and child killers.

A weird thing happened post marriage my address was changed on the electoral roll. They changed my address to my husband’s place! Straight away I changed it back!
I have been on the Māori for the last two elections. #NZpol

#nzpol We should all be able to live with dignity.

New Zealand loses 41,000 jobs in two years as government offers no plan March 30, 2026
41,000 jobs lost in 2 years is wild. Auckland lost 21,000 filled jobs over the same two-year period while construction shed 20,000 jobs & manufacturing 10,000. Over 165,000 Kiwis are now unemployed, worst in 13 years, but much worse when you consider 3% of NZ citizens have fled for overseas
Highly recommend this reading from Fired Up Stilettos. BTW to the Chair of the committee, it is not a serious offence to consensually send nudes to other consenting adults. If those were leaked in any way, THAT is a serious offence. #nzpol
The Green Party conference was due to vote on a motion opposing Zionism. It has been hit by a DDOS attack to try and prevent the vote from taking place.
I look forward to all politicians (especially the ones who wrap themselves in the flag) condemning foreign interference in British politics.

Good morning, Israel has not "moved troops' into Lebanon. Israel has invaded Lebanon. Use the right language cowards
France has confirmed 40% OF ALL GULF OIL AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE IS DESTROYED.

Beneficiary numbers have soared to a 12-year high, under a National government that promised a reduction.
They were the highest both by volume and percentage of the working-age population since at least the 2013 welfare reforms.

"Up to 10 patients in Palestine’s Gaza are dying daily while waiting for medical evacuation, as Israeli restrictions on movement and border crossings continue, according to the Palestinian enclave’s Health Ministry."
James Li @5149jamesli Israel has bombed over 100 ambulances in Gaza and the West Bank since October 2023. Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson • 10h What kind of maniacs attack a fleet of ambulances? The culprits must be caught and punished with exemplary severity - to show that antisemitism has no place in Britain.
You heard the man.
I know it's an election year and they want donors but this seems a very tone deaf time to be swishing about like a bunch of rich cunts. I mean never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake so #NZPol
Our Relationship with Israel must Change….

“It’s worrying that while everyone else has looked aghast at the ICE raids in the USA, the New Zealand government has decided that immigration and police officers need greater powers to enable them to do the same.”

We could barely muster a response to an actual genocide but threaten to raise the cost of fuel and we're suddenly outraged. What an absolute disgrace.
Also, Iran is defending itself from the US, with its 19 military bases in the region, and Israel, who ATTACKED THEM. Wtaf.

This is an incredible piece of research, and deserves you watch.
It’s about conversion therapy, but so much on top of such but related, including the Cass Review.
Content warning for pretty much nearly everything btw.
You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.
Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
❝ The cycle of wars in the Middle East will not end by managing symptoms. It will only be broken by confronting its cause: the unresolved question of Palestine, a question of inalienable rights, of law and ultimately of accountability. ❞
