It's a great cause. Bruce was charged $50 fine for wearing Climate Emergency T shirt. All proceed go to that, to environmental causes and to the victims of violent crime. Bruce is a great artist who's been doing this stuff bloody brilliantly for bloody years.

On the 5th anniversary of the Jan 6th attack, let's remember that Brazil formally sentenced Bolsonaro for the violent coup attempt after he lost re-election because Brazil has a better-functioning democracy than the US does.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

AI has huge potential, but harms (deepfakes, gendered abuse, bias) are real and rising. Sign the Open Letter calling on NZ leaders to deliver risk-based AI regulation & a national oversight body.
Re-sharing for the new year, which is also an election year! If you agree, help us out by emailing your local MP asking why Labour and National have not yet signed this letter or committed to regulating AI deployment in NZ. #nzpol

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

so Hipkins could completely scoop Luxon AND set the frame for the discourse by making even a quite muted announcement on Venezuela. why are Labour so FUCKING BAD at comms OR being in the right side of history?

“The Prime Minister Christopher Luxon needs to show leadership and moral courage and condemn the US attacking Venezuela.
This is a unilateral attack that goes against any enduring pathway to international peace through justice.”

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Thanks to the Greens for their swift, eloquent leadership today.
Silence and neutrality in times of crisis does put you on the side of the oppressor, and the Greens consistently refuse to stand on the wrong side of history.
We need these values to lead us and to represent us - we don’t need silence.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

The bombing of Venezuela is an act of aggression: unprovoked, unjustified and unjustifiable.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

The order of power in the USA is supposed to be Congress>Senate>Supreme Court>President
Instead it is President... sorry Dictator.
What a joke the US has become.
