I get all my friends to listen to Brian Ferry on my behalf because I am a great fan of (wait for it) Proxy Music.

Are all on X

A site where you can now see children in a state of undress.
A site where children are sexualised.
A site where women,without their consent are sexualised.

You are culpable.

Remember when Donald said he could shoot someone broad daylight and his supporters would still love him? Turns out he meant it literally.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

They like to make you feel like it’s your fault with carbon footprint calculators and recycling schemes but that’s because the world's biggest companies alone have caused $28 trillion in climate damage.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

The UN is absolutely bollocks. Our ancestors didn't go to war for you to fuck around not trying to hurt other people's feelings when fucken terrorism is occurring and human rights are being removed in front of us.

Don't copy paste an Imperial response like other world "leaders" who are abandoning their independent foreign policy to cuddle up to Trump. Have some moral courage Luxon!

Mamdani is right, neoliberalism is a direct threat to our fragile democracies. Decades of 'user pays' and 'let the market decide and provide' policies have led to starved government structure that can no longer meet our communities' basic needs of shelter, education, health and nourishment for all

It’s election year for New Zealand -
please strongly encourage, donate to and vote for this energy👇
Playing it small and safe doesn’t serve our communities of greatest need, and it doesn’t meet this moment when we need more from our leaders, not less.
Vote for those who mean it when they say change.
Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

"We will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed, but never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try."

Boy it would be nice to see more of this energy in politics broadly.

"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live."
Sarah Kendzior
Having basic needs met is a huge factor in determining health

If everyone had shelter, food, healthcare & a basic income…society would be healthier

Instead the billionaires & corporations hoard wealth and blame us when we become disabled or homeless

Poverty is a policy choice. Not a moral failing
