Golriz Ghahraman: Itโ€™s time for another Iranian revolution The Iranian refugee and former MP is still passionate about her homeland and believes the only way forward is not interference by the US, but by revolution from within.

So great to hear from Golriz again โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Mล Matariki | About Matariki is a time for remembrance, celebrating the present and looking to the future.

This year's Matariki theme is Matariki mฤ Puanga: celebrating together. It's a beautiful theme of inclusion, diversity, and celebrating Matariki together.

Aotearoa has a beautiful, diverse community, and now is a perfect time to celebrate it.

I'm not the first to point this out but this stuff is in my wheelhouse.

โœ…๏ธDefending your proposed bill.
โŒ๏ธSingling out a specific academic in the style of a wanted poster with "victim on the day" on it.

This is only done this way to (1) silence experts (2) drive harassment & complaints against them

For someone who got 8% at the last election David Seymour somehow has control over school meals, the curriculum, our entire constitutional settlement, bottlenecking bills that don't meet his standards, and somehow what universities choose to teach? Didn't National win the most seats or something.

The ghouls are pushing to slice bits off the basic NZ state pension again. This article is a classic of the type - sleights of hand a-plenty. Let's pick it apart.
First, note that public spending on pensions is loads higher in Denmark than in meanass NZ, which... [๐Ÿงต1/n]

โ˜Ž๏ธ Wait, thereโ€™s now a hotline for reporting road cones?

Hereโ€™s Mฤori TikTok creator The Conchurversial Kuzzie putting PM Christopher Luxonโ€™s declaration of war on traffic cones into perspective, using his trademark humour and bite to ask where the governments priorities really lie.

It'd be great if any political reporter could ask the government why it is so important for "Hard working Kiwis" that the country get into surplus.

What would that look like for your average family. What programs would get funded that can't be while there's a deficit.

70s we'd be gone on horses exploring countryside or rowboat exploring the lake, only rule to be back before dark. Usually hunger got us home earlier.

โ€œthere were many similar points made across most of the submissionsโ€

If a bill is total shit most people will make submissions outlining THE SAME THING, the bill is shit. Itโ€™s not rocket science Davey & it ainโ€™t no bot either, itโ€™s fucking Democracy ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ #NotMyDPM #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

NZ Herald suggested this in a Jan 10th article, where the phrase โ€œitโ€™s possibleโ€ was repeated serval times, with zero confirmation that this actually happened. The article was regurgitated by RNZ the next day. Iโ€™m so tired of this crap. Itโ€™s dangerous. Not to mention itโ€™s bad journalism. #nzpol

$500,000 in political donations associated with fast track projects The projects include a quarry extension into conservation land and a development whose owner was supported by National MPs during a battle with Kฤinga Ora.

I would like to see the media do an equivalent story for every honours list. Because honouring donors has the same stench. www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

Worth highlighting how the (new) Deputy PM instigates, inspires, & normalises racist, & extremely violent discourse. sanjanah.wordpress.com/2025/01/16/d... from this year, and sanjanah.wordpress.com/2023/08/19/h... from 2023. Of course, Chris Lynch makes no mention of this in interview.
