Charlie Kirk was a hateful man who was funded by right-wing billionaire snowflakes who are terrified of people of color, women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people, whom they know can run circles around them and expose their mediocrity.

What a picture of grace and dignity. I was moved to tears watching her korero today. And even more moved by the reation of the crowd, especially young tamariki. She will inspire a new generation of Maori. (And this Pakeha). Tautoko !

We’re actually at a stage in our politics and society where someone like Georgina Beyer now wouldn’t even get selected, let alone win in her electorate
I don’t know how much people who are not in it realise just how far backwards we’ve gone. We may in fact have reached previously unplumbed depths

I hope Benjamin Doyle brings together defamation lawsuits against all those who called them a pedophile and cast other disgusting aspersions about their character. Direct the lawsuits to those at the very top, most notably, Winston (fucking) Peters!

Benjamin Doyle has faced some of the most concentrated hate condensed into a short period of time, egged on by pseudonymous hate groups and encouraged further by the deputy PM. It’s a damn shame that our political environment has got so toxic that an MP needs to resign for the safety of their whānau

I hear Trump is sending National Guards from Texas to Chicago.
I'm not American, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn’t sending Republican soldiers from the south to a Demotratic blue state in the north kinda like invoking a Civil War?

The President is begging me to call him to bring in the National Guard.
I’m not going to beg him for something we don’t want.

RFK Brainworms is deranged and insane. The lunatics are running the asylum in the US, endangering the health of a nation. And MAGA cheer on the return of preventable diseases and cancelation of life-saving medical research. It just doesn't make sense.

Chloe thrown out of Parliament after refusing to apologise. She is calling for sanctions against Israel but breaks parliamentary protocol for iinsulting MPs.
To be fair, Brownlee had to call for an apology in his role but Seymour has lied in Parliament before with no penalty.

I hope Candace Owens is sued into oblivion. Why is it the right fling such shit at every powerful woman they don't like. Look how they've treated Michelle Obama. Calling her Big Mike and worse. And here in New Zealand, they did the same to Jacinda Adern. Get ready to pay up, Candace.
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife have sued Candace Owens for defamation over the far-right commentator’s repeated allegations that first lady Brigitte Macron was born a man.
French President Macron sues right-wing podcaster Candace Owens
The lawsuit alleges that the podcaster promoted “outlandish” claims, including that Brigitte Macron was born a man. An Owens spokesperson said she “is not shutting up.”
