Which mean people are missing gems like "Epstein Files", a filk of "Edelweiss", made into a barbed, hilarious video by New Zealander Shirley Șerban (thanks, Mark Jordan Legan, for introducing me to her work). YouTube channels are where she and other protest artists thrive.

PROTEST SONGS #249: Anti-Trump
I started the Protest Song Project because I didn't know why I wasn't hearing anti-Trump protest songs. Turns out there are *scads* of them, but unlike the '60s-'80s, they aren't by mainstream artists, and they aren't getting airplay.

NZ Govt kicked prisoners off voting roll. Others may be excluded if they don't enrol in time.

#nzpol Scientists monitoring our faultlines statistically predict that we have two separate overdue 8+MAG earthquakes. They'll hit within the next 50 yrs. Tsunamis are likely to result. Our hospitals, health sector, councils, govt, and emergency services are not ready or equipped to cope. Landlords🙄
NZ Govt biggest health cuts are from the emergency management team, going from 11 roles to just two, and from Mãori Public Health, which could drop from six staff ..to two. Another attack on Mãori

“In the new year, we’ll be launching our guide for GPs to help with the diagnosis, management, and treatment of Long Covid.”
This is good, it’s badly needed in NZ.
IMO this piece could’ve been stronger in its recs for prevention & more inclusive of other LC conditions, but I’m happy to see it.

The Alberta government has now used the Notwithstanding Clause to attack trans people four times in less than a couple months and once more to attack the teacher's union.
Frankly, the Smith government should be considered a rogue government because it actually does not care about the law at all.
