UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

'Absolutely breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi': UN-bound report warns racial discrimination is worsening in NZ

They wanna teach our children racist lies

Holy shit.
Conservative resistance to the Nazis. Lmao. Have a look at how Hitler was treated for the beer hall putsch, wet bus ticket from a conservative judge. And how he got the chancellor gig and who thought they could control him and use him to crush the left

This is blatant political interference in rge New Zealand Curriculum that shouldn't be tolerated.
Education professionals should be deciding what is in the NZ Curriculum, not politicians from 8% parties pandering to the worst of NZ society to the detriment of our students.

Hell yeah

The new Social studies curriculum is atrocious in general, but I just want to shine a spotlight on the explicit retreading of literal Nazi propaganda that is woven through the year 10 content! Buckle up this shit is shocking!

I'm reading the new Social Sciences curriculum content and I wasn't prepared for how sad I would feel. We spent thousands of hours working with the previous iteration and the NZ history content and all that enthusiasm and excitement was just killed for something so bad.

Strangers call me Whaea/Aunty as a sign of respect. It’s an honorific.

They are not lying. #uspol

The Te Tiriti content (which isn't introduced until Year 4) implies the English text was signed in Feb 1840, that the Māori text is a "translation", and that Te Tiriti was primarily a response to the Musket Wars. This is all nonsense.

NZ Agribusiness disrupts all efforts to cut climate pollution, meaning more disruption for food production from extreme weather in the future. NZ Fishing Companies target spawning events to catch quota, which means fewer fish in the future. These industries need public oversight not self-regulation.

THIS IS FINE
