Trump’s Department of Injustice has deployed the FACE Act—not against antiabortion extremists who invade clinics and terrorize patients, but against journalists documenting political protests and peaceful activists decrying the killing of Renee Good by federal ICE agents.

I was at #Waitangi Treaty Grounds today, celebrating a #NewZealand that will be 186 years old this Friday. It's a day for all the people of NZ. Lovely vibe, and so many families having fun. The museum's eye-opening, I hadn't it visited before.

NZ Labour and NZ Greens leaders appear together at Waitangi. They emphasised their parties have different policies but share many common values in wanting the best for Aotearoa and its people. They will compete for votes but they can work with each other.

The number of unemployed men and women rose in the last quarter, and 7,600 more 15-24-year-olds are unemployed than a year ago. With Waitangi just around the corner - Maori unemployment was 11.2% in December 2025 – more than twice the national average.

There's no question in my mind that the need we are seeing in our community, and the desperation of people's circumstances is greater than we've ever seen before."
#Homelessness #NZpol

Move on orders just shift the problem. This is not back on track it is callously pushing people out of trains.

For the next couple of weeks, I'm championing noke waiū, the North Auckland Worm, for the Bug of the Year competition. Thanks to Toby Morris for this great little cartoon, which shows one reason I think you should give it your vote: it can grow up to 1.4 metres long!

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

“The best way to proceed is to ignore it,” Chomsky wrote in a text Epstein sent to a lawyer and publicist. “That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder.”

Mifepristone is safe, effective & essential. Despite increasing false claims from anti-abortion lawmakers & activists, it does not impact US waterways or drinking water.

Environmental attacks on mife are misleading & blatant ploys to stigmatize & restrict abortion access. https://gu.tt/4j0sgj4

Emily Waldorf’s water broke at 17 weeks — far too early for her child to survive. Despite a nonviable pregnancy and a growing risk of serious infection, Emily was denied both an abortion and antibiotics.

Now, she’s suing to overturn Arkansas’ ban.
