Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

Nats have only ever taken away from KiwiSaver. Labour started KS to help working folk save for retirement, now 3.3 million AoNZ are enrolled

Nats took away the $1000 kickstart, now they are going to take away Govt contribution of $521 when you contribute $1042+ pa - costing US roughly $76K

The work safe regulations that Cruella van Velden ACT and the Nats government are dismantling right now were put in place after 29 miners died at work at Pike River - shame on all of those who would desecrate their memory! #NZPol
Regulations are the scar tissue from previous abuses of workers, preventable accidents, and inequities as a consequence of corporate negligence, profit extraction or big state paternalism.

We mustn’t fall for the distorted think tank narratives against workers having a say in how these systems run.
It might not have made it on your radar but some sketchy things are a foot with our current coalition government looking to overhaul health professional regulatory bodies, claiming the move "puts patients first" but looks to put profit first and remove cultural competence from professional standards

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

When you think of Nazi Germany the good Germans that didn’t vote for Hitler aren’t the first to come up in your heads. The same goes for the US or Russia. Don’t want to be represented by evil? This is your turn to show what you would have done under Nazi rule.

Notice that Trump didn’t get offended because Zelensky disrespected the U.S. (he didn’t), but because Zelensky disrespected RUSSIA.
