I'm a couple days late to this, but... neat!

The US is a rogue nation. There’s no redemption.

Okay this made me cry

We asked Randy Fine what evidence he has that Iran was who killed at least 160 people at a girls school.

He replied: “what’s the evidence they didn’t?”

Now, right afterwards, it’s been revealed that US military investigators believe the Trump-Vance-Hegseth-Rubio admin was likely responsible.

Yes! The live cams, the whiteboard on the fridge, the weigh ins and check ups, are lifesavers in amongst the horrors.

I just watched mum reorganise the chick beneath her then fall back asleep. 🥰

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

#nzpol Make time to read this excellent article this weekend because Sanjana always find the bullseye. 🎯

A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust

Persist against all odds

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon 'absolutely not' considering standing down The Prime Minister told Newstalk ZB all of his ministers were telling him they back him.

"The only thing I am considering is the future of our children & grandchildren." #nzpol And let’s be clear, that’s only his children & grandchildren. He’s made the lives of 10s of 1000s of children & grandchildren infinitely worse.

Luxon believes he has skills.

Photos: Israel, US ramp up Iran strikes, targeting hospitals, major stadium Strikes target hospitals, schools, and cultural sites across Iran, disrupting daily life particularly in Tehran.

Bombing schools and hospitals (both war crimes) is the Israeli and US way. Civilians are their targets. Their AI parameters are firmly set on the more emotionally damaging to the civilian populace the better. 🤬

#nzpol Luxon 'said the only polling he takes note of is his National's own internal polling which gets processed in the United Kingdom.'

Topham Guerin is still pulling the strings for these fascists.

TikTok users owe us all a huge apology for being so 🤦.

Yeah! Tell her, Tim.

Luxon has gone and gone on 1ZB on a Friday afternoon to say he's got what it takes and won't be stepping down. Clueless till the bitter end eh dude? lol #NZPol

Britons in Dubai fear leaving because they might get taxed at home, say experts Thousands of Britons are stranded in the Middle East due to the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran

LOL.. SUCK IT!

"TVNZ has faced heat over a news story on Thursday last week that focused on rising gang membership but ignored new data, released by the Government on the same day, that showed a dramatic reduction in the number of violent crime victims."

Hey did you think the important story was government ministers interfering in editorial decisions of our state broadcaster? No, no, no. The story, according to NZME's Shayne Currie, is the state broadcaster wasn't sufficiently flattering of the government. Luckily, we have NZME for that.

THIS. So much this.

This is a huge reason that I do so few conventions. I just simply can't afford to do them.

It's a huuuuuge financial gamble.

Put down like Old Yeller

#nzpol Very interesting.

Lebanon says Israel sprayed southern villages with concentrated herbicide Israel declines to comment on the allegation its planes sprayed glyphosate over an area with extensive farmland.

Lebanon has accused Israeli aircraft of spraying an agricultural herbicide over southern villages at concentrations authorities described as dangerously high, raising concerns for food and environmental security.

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
