It should be our collective priority to bring all #Gaza’s children back to a learning environment after two years of war, trauma, and suffering.

The education system that existed in Gaza, largely run by UNRWA, must be fully re-established.

The #Uber loss in the Supreme Court “highlights a grey area in the law”, says Brooke Van Velden.
It’s been through 3 courts. The judges were unanimous. There’s nothing grey about it. The law is black & white. WORKERS HAVE RIGHTS! That’s the real “problem” this anti-worker govt wants to “fix” #nzpol

We were doing an anti-colonial thing in Oamaru's Victorian market day today (which is sort of a celebration of all things colonial). We were surprised when the band broke into an anti-colonial song

You may have heard it before, it goes: "get back, get back to where you once belonged"

It should be requirement that any MP's office paid for by Parliamentary Services be accessible from a public place - the effect of this privately issued trespass notice is that all who have received them cannot now visit the MP's office at all (for protest or other reasons) for a 2 year period.

An ICE agent who was a zero
Was struck on the chest by a hero.
Wounded I am
By onion and ham
So the case was prosecuted by Pirro.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Trump can't do his wank-dance properly if he doesn't have a wank-palace with an absolute wank ballroom.
All the pay-for-invite guests will tell Trump it's the best wank-dance they've ever seen, and that's what matters.💩
