Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes
We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over
NOT TECHNICALLY LYING.
Listen to what’s NOT being said:
“(I don’t actually want you to know the truth. I only want you to believe the framing I’m providing; only what is advantageous to me for you to believe. Given that these are my actual, unspoken goals, then) WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YOU IS…”

Significant new information in this investigative article I've co-authored with Dr Ryan Ward on the foreign ideology influence behind the Regulatory Standards Bill.
Ummm, the CEO and the Chair of the RBNZ resigning within 6 months is actually NOT comparable to the business world as it is an extremely rare event. (IIRC, this has never happened before in the 32 years I've been here). This is a big deal & the press should be asking a LOT of questions.
The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible.
This is easily the funniest thing Hannity has ever said.

Why is RNZ okay calling war crimes a "settlement project"
The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.
Yup, this is a bit buried by the media
“New Zealand had been one of the very few countries to have a credit rating upgrade from the international ratings agencies during Covid.”"
Imagine if the media actually reported facts, especially when politicians lie. #nzpol

A thoughtful and sober takedown of a truly disgusting human.
Mountain Tui: “Ferries cancellation cost $671 million - that's around 20% more than the cost of procuring the next-generation ferries. • The cost of cancelling i-Rex represents around 120% of the full fixed cost of the cancelled ferries, i.e., instead of spending 20% less to get the next-gen ferries, we are paying much more for (*checks notes*) nothing. at. all. • Note the real cost is much higher, because there are significant unaccounted costs- including doubling maintenance costs, the 60% price reduction we had secured for next-generation future-proof ferries, the cost of downtime and retiring current ferries (i.e., rail-enabled Aratere is being retired on Monday), future costs assuming the next purchase is not scaled to the same future-proof specifications etc. • In short, the decision was reckless; and rather than receiving the next-generation, hybrid, fuel-efficient and future-proofed ferries that we got for 40% of market price this year and next, we now have to wait years more. • We can also expect to see reduced functionality and reduced capacity to make this government look as good as it can, while probably hearing claims they have ‘saved billions’.”

“Democracy is not a spectator sport, but nor is it one when we are expected to do the job that the government is supposed to do for us. They are blanketing us, overwhelming us, misleading us, lying to us, hiding critical information from us, icing us out of democratic policy processes, maligning experts, attacking academics, attacking country's distinguished and longest serving health professionals, attacking our media for reporting on them, sowing culture wars, playing USA dirty politics, attacking minority and vulnerable groups - all equivalent to an attack on the people they are meant to serve. This is how democracy dies.” - Mountain Tui

If you joined #InternetNZ 3+ months ago in order to counter the FSU influence. Check your email for the voting link and vote.
The really important thing is rank every single candidate other than the 3 FSU / Hobson's listed with crosses in the below.
That both the Chief Exec and a Director of the NZ Free Speech Union are candidates in the Internet NZ election, the FSU having signed up members by promoting a false panic about the new constitution (and taken a donation cut of the money) should be mainstream news. Hostile takeover.
@drfaustroll.bsky.social - have you heard this one?
“Very disingenuous” is pretty much standard operating mode for the FSU, but this is some special bullshit. They’re cheering on critics of the state being subjected to a retaliatory campaign by a very senior figure in that state. God, they’re loathsome.
You'll see NZFSU and Seymour try to downplay what he said and the rest of us seem hysterical/uptight while not being democratic.
As said below, Seymour enabled the online abuse of our academics by personally harassing them as acting Prime Minister. It is wrong and must be challenged. #nzpol
They aren’t going to liquidate all their NZ assets, are they? (Certainly not if you can tax those asset sales; but also make sure that you can tax any earnings from NZ assets getting sent to offshore owners!)

If you’re planning to submit on the RSB this weekend, remember:
Parliament web-server will be very busy this weekend, likely overloaded at times (as it was during the TPB subs process).
So, type up & save your sub, then copy-&-paste it to the site (as it sucks to lose your work to a web-glitch!).
If you're a billionaire and you're considering posting your opinions about how poorly you've been treated on Bluesky, try this instead: give all of your money to orphans and medical research and then walk into the forest, never to be seen or heard from again. You'll be surprised how well it works
Image of a post from another social media platform that reads: "SNAP ACTION THIS AFTERNOON Occupy Brandon Street invites you all down to the Israeli Embassy, 36 Brandon Street, 3pm-4pm today to protest the illegal boarding of the freedom flotilla ship the Madleen by th eIOF, and the kidnapping of their crew (including Greta Thunberg and 11 others) in interational waters in the last two hours. Bring flags, signs and megaphones."
For people in Wellington who are outraged by Israel's seizure of the Madleen and kidnapping of her crew in international waters, there will be a protest at 3pm (in 40 minutes) outside the Israeli Embassy at 36 Brandon Street.
Please re-post for reach.
