The USA has got most of the world worrying about blood on their shoelaces, while it gleefully amputates our legs above the knee.

Remarkable that there have been no government voice on Trump's attacks on ANYTHING!

Immigrants and citizens
Women

Our government has no courage and no standards and no conscience.

Good morning.

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.

That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.

Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

If they declare martial law in the US are we still friends with them?
Do we keep the FBI office in Wellington?
We’ve just undermined our elections with the passing of the Electoral Amendment Bill, following the US blueprint - the threat is real, and the next election the most consequential to date.

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.

I'm here to banish the darkness, if only for a moment.

A vaccine for chlamydia in koalas. Developed in Canada by a global team, with help from the family of Steve Irwin.

It reduces mortality, reduces disease severity, provides protection for baby koalas.

Turning the tide on a deadly disease.
First koala chlamydia vaccine approved
The disease has been plaguing the endangered marsupials since the 1990s.

Take Trump literally and seriously. Banish into the sun all the hacks who told us we were being hysterical & radical. Ignore them forever.

This is a white nationalist regime in service of an international broligarchy that won't stop until it drinks all our milkshakes.

Venezuela was the start...

We’ve all heard of “peak oil”, but few talk about ”peak capital”. It’s when capitalist real wealth extraction reaches a societal maximum and it’s all downhill to dust and ashes from there. This is when capitalists enact fascism.

“This development overrides clinical judgment. It denies families a say in their own children’s healthcare, and it sets a dangerous precedent where politicians, not doctors, control treatment.

This ban will not protect young people — it will hurt many.”

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

It’s wild that the tradition of singing anthems before sports matches started with a Wales v NZ rugby match in 1905, as the Welsh wanted to drown out the haka.

The haka is a longer and more established tradition than pre-game national anthems. 🤯 No more moaning that the AB’s should stop doing it.
