NZ stands with our firefighters ✊

They're facing a Dire Emergency: broken down trucks, dangerous staffing, faulty equipment, and FENZ refusing to address a failing system. Firefighters want to keep New Zealanders safe—but they need FENZ to show up and genuinely prioritise community safety. #nzpol

Doctors and parents should make decisions about what it best for their kids' health - not politicians.

My wife's school has released a similar letter.

It's a reminder that Seymour and National trampling all over Te Tiriti is completely at odds with what our communities actually want, and I really hope they get punished for this at the next election. #nzpol
My daughter's school has just sent us a letter from the board reaffirming its commitment to honouring Te Tiriti and respecting and working with Te Āti Awa, whose land the school sits on.

They say "while national policy settings may shift, our values, commitments and relationships do not have to".

Our heartfelt congratulations to all of our Uber members and the four drivers - Nureddin, Julian, Bill and Mea’ole.

It is not easy to stand up and speak out about a multibillion dollar multinational corporation that controls almost every aspect of your livelihood. You have done it. And won!

Coming up: the spinoff of how you should have a peanut butter sandwich:
Thin White bread
On each slice:
Copious amounts of butter
Copious amount of peanut butter
Slam the two slices together
Squish them a little
Eat
Repeat
🧵So last week I asked Kiwis and Aussies if people prefer their fairy bread with margarine or butter, crusts on or crusts off, squares vs triangles. I figured since it has been ages since I've sampled the food of the fae, I should make sure the recipe is correct for my upcoming book launch party.

This regime is ratfucking our democracy. They are giving just 11 days for submissions on the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill. The changes would give ministerial powers to dictate outcomes while removing the right to submit on or challenge decisions in court.

The passengers reportedly said that Israel forced these Palestinians to leave all their property behind and board the plane at an Israeli airbase. In an attempt to cover its tracks, it is said that Israel did not put departure stamps in any of their passports.

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: The woman in the Jevon McSkimming saga wasn't innocent here
So it turns out the woman with whom Jevon McSkimming had an affair, whose warnings police ignored and who police charged instead of investigating McSkimmin
