The Kansas driver license thing is just the sublimation of every time I've said that we should be abolishing the gender marker instead of allowing it to be changed or having an "X" gender marker.

Like how do you think they had a list of people to mail that notice to ahead of time?

I'm not a huge fan of state-owned commercial companies, but after seeing what happened with Covid I'm definitely in favour of Air NZ being govt-owned. The airline functioned as an important logistics lifeline to the Pacific, and having the ability able to surge airlift capacity is a strategic boon.

Government deciding whether US should get access to New Zealanders' biometric data Officials are in talks with the US about a new travel deal.

As the chair of @nzccl.org.nz said,

"We wouldn't give other countries like China or Russia full access into our police and biometrics databases, would we?"

Absolutely disgusting that this is being contemplated, let alone that it might be decided without Parliament.

I love councils in theory but in reality do they really need to put out a 290-page RFT for 200m of wastewater pipe? also they should waive my parking fine since I am reading all 290 pages of their waffle

I don't complain a lot about medical stuff but this morning I rang my district nurse and told her I had to get my mum in this morning to rectify what she did yesterday. Told her that she rushed. Just because she's had 40 years experience she needs to take more care.

hey so this is being delivered in the context of ICE

we’re seeing that narrative play out across the west. and cabinet ministers, like Peters, have been specifically attacking immigrants

this needs to be treated incredibly seriously as a human rights & civil liberties breach

Federal prosecutors have dropped their case against the six Democratic lawmakers who released a video urging military servicemembers to refuse illegal orders after failing to secure a grand jury indictment. Do we all understand that this continued nonsense costs taxpayer money?

Turning off @rnz.co.nz.web.brid.gy due to their harmful platforming of Dr Cass. There will not be balance, nor care for our trans family in this segment. Tran people desire healthcare and support for their humanity.

Labour still appear fundamentally unable to meet the moment.

We have a corrupt, racist NACT government trashing the economy, ruining public health, ramming through whatever laws their donors want, lying, & mocking any attempt at investigation or accountabilityβ€¦πŸš¨πŸš¨πŸš¨

Grow a spine or fuck off.

Union hits back at NZ First over Employment Relations Amendment Bill The PSA said NZ First leader Winston Peters was wrong to blame unions for being too slow to convince New Zealand First to block the bill.

"It's sad but true to say, but Winston Peters and NZ First simply cowered behind the ACT Party during this process and should not be taken seriously as representing any workers' interests whatsoever." #nzpol

RADIO NEW ZEALAND PLATFORMING HILLARY CASS??!!!!

Seriously, what the actual fuck? She’s a miserable bigot and propagandist. No-one but bigoted conservatives treat her with anything other than outright contempt.

Green party of Aotearoa New Zealand post with a picture of Marama Davidson and words "we can end poverty" and text reading:

The Greens' tax plan would see 91% of New Zealanders pay less income tax, fund free early childhood education, dental care, GPs, and so much more - all it takes is the wealthiest 3% contributing their fair share.

Expert’s shock as MPs cut her off while she explained supermarkets’ power games The face of Lisa Asher, an expert in how supermarkets build pricing power, said it all when she was cut off while telling MPs how supermarkets extract maximum profits.

Why is a biased numpty like Parmjeet Parmar allowed to chair any select committee? #NzPol
