Let's talk about behaviour. Let's talk about how it is that we tut tut on the front page of every newspaper every time a woman dares to breathe differently and utterly, miserably fail to talk about why they might have done so. Let's talk about the willingness in New Zealand to deprioritise pay equity, women having a voice and a seat at the table, the right to make reproductive health decisions, the ability to own a home, the right to obtain medical support without a side of misogyny, the ability to be a leader - including a politician. Let's talk about the fact that violence takes many forms. Let's talk about the passive language that mentions all of these things happening to women with no attribution of responsibility - or accountability for a change in behaviour (or policy.) Let's talk about why we seem to be able to call out a women behaving in a certain way but totally unable to call out evidence of violent behaviour and violent policy across the board.

“Let’s talk about why we get angrier about a woman being angry than we do about the way women are treated in New Zealand.”

I wrote this a couple of years ago and it’s since become a marker of everything that still hasn’t changed.
Happy International Women’s Day 🫠

The US War Machine Is Run By Deranged Armageddon Cultists

They are everything they accuse Iran of being. They are dangerous religious fanatics. They cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons. They are the tyrants. They are the monsters.

This Is Even Dumber And Crazier Than The Iraq War

This is the new George W Bush. Trump is what Bush metamorphoses into when it emerges from its red cocoon. The crazier the US empire gets, the more insane its managers are becoming.

It Is Not Okay For Grown Adults To Believe Infantile Fairy Tales About Iran Reading by Tim Foley:

It Is Not Okay For Grown Adults To Believe Infantile Fairy Tales About Iran

It’s not okay for grown adults to believe the United States wages wars to promote humanitarian interests and bring freedom and democracy to oppressed populations.

Climate crisis’s final boss: completely destroying our rivers to create a dairy industry only to burn even more fuel to bring butter over from America whose weapons are completely destroying the the ecological systems elsewhere.

This is the best economic system the smart people could come up with.

This story still isn’t going away.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack.

Then he let US bombers pit stop here.

He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.

The House: MPs agree infrastructure debate should be politics free

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say *everything is political*.

You want to make a choice between houses or pipes? That's political.

You want clean water? That's political.

Too many people confuse politics with ideology.

Hard Times in the Land of Plenty. The Economic Recovery that never was.

“For months now, we have heard that green shoots are sprouting and everything is coming right, despite no real evidence amid record unemployment, business closures, and a worsening cost of living that has seen many in jobs see their wages erode relative to prices.” #nzpol

Great we didn't want to send them anyway.

Enjoy losing another illegal war, War Criminal.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

I would just like to remind everyone that the slimy Atlas operative cancelled the network of community organisation supply good lunch (apparently “woke” to have nice food for kids) in favour of a global corporate to serve up disgusting and occasionally dangerous slop to our tamariki.

Hind Khoudary reports on conditions in Gaza as Israel continues killing Palestinians & continues to block aid entering the strip.

Calling Hind Khoudary, among others, unqualified to speak about the mass murder of Palestinians is disgustingly racist and sexist. It's Zionism in a nutshell.

Israel kills father, daughter in Gaza as genocide continues amid wider war Suffering in Gaza and occupied West Bank remains acute as the world focuses on the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Gaza as genocide continues amid wider war

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Netanyahu seen in Channel 12 in a speech

🧵 Netanyahu In a Speech, Translating in This Thread:

"We are faced with an extremely evil regime that has been calling for 'death to Israel, death to America' for 47 years and is plotting to destroy us with atomic bombs and tens of thousands of ballistic missiles.

The satanyahoo ceases to live will be a GREAT day

The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.

Attacking access to water is definitionally genocidal.

So incitement to genocide?

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE
