Huge day for Thailand today, becoming the first South-east Asian country to legalise same-sex marriage 👏🏽👏🏽

Great to find some positive news amongst a sea of 💩

The failed Auckland Mayoral candidate Leo Molloy's misogynist campaign against a woman of colour, & former MP has been widely derided, & decried. Molloy's violence against women spans decades, & is a matter of public record www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-day-t... You'd think the matter would end there.

We’ve been told for years that trans people and drag queens are coming for your children, but then those same people will tell you to chill when a guy does a nazi salute behind the Presidents podium.
For all the doubters, how are these not the same?

In the toilet.. that's where society is in 2025.

Because that's the only place where we could be discussing if Elon did a Nazi salute or not.

Zuckerberg: “the corporate world is in need of more masculine energy”.

Less than 10% of the biggest US companies have female CEOs..

Being conservative in 2025 just means you want to ignore reality and say stupid shit.

1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France.

They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see."

They refute much of the Cass Review.

Simeon Brown voted for the barbaric, antiquated gay conversion therapy

He's one of the most anti-science, anti-research backed Ministers on NACT, and that's a high bar

Now he'll lead our health system for National

Trump wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Thought he would’ve started in a more obvious place like Paris, Tennessee or Florence, Alabama 😂

I should be shocked about this, but remember the guy that approved this also voted against the ban on conversion therapy and is the evangelical-type of anti-abortionist.

I don't really buy the talk about Chris Luxon being rolled or stepping down but I have to admit posting a pic of yourself doing a 9/11 into the Beehive doesn't scream "I love this job"

Just another chapter to the book of ‘front-loading’ all the bs this government is doing, with the hope that all is forgotten come election time in 2 years time.
ON QUIETLY UPPING THE I-REX FERRIES NUMBER FROM $3b to $4b:

Yesterday this govt found a few words for them to use as an excuse to say i-Rex cost $4b

Up until yesterday - and for a year - everyone, including this Coalition right wing, agreed on the $3b figure.

Don't let it go unnoticed.
