“New Zealand is moving backwards on racial equality, and Māori rights are under serious threat.”

Read this whole article. It would take Olympic-level twisting to deny any of it - and the fact this isn’t front page news across the board absolutely reinforces the point.

When Profit Grows a Brain: The Diabolical Collision Between Necrocapitalism and AGI

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

200 thousand years of modern human occupation on Earth are coming to a pivotal moment.  We either recognise the sovereignty of the biocivilization we destroyed and begin making reparations or witness the spectacular fall of the brutal regime which has oppressed all life forms

Just a reminder that no-one outside of government has seen the report/or the recommendations of the Ministry of Health that resulted from the unlawful Puberty Blockers public consultation.
NO-ONE!
When the wording of the regulation was unveiled, I wrote to Minister Brown, the DG of Health, and the Chief Medical Officer of Health to tell them they had included adults, and they have just now changed the regulation!

Absolute amateur-hour law-making.

Are you sick of petitioning the govt?

I am. But I keep signing them anyway.

To all the trans youth out there, the community has been putting together legal arguments ever since the public consultation was announced in November 2024.
We never stopped fighting. We prepared for this outcome, and I know from what I myself developed that PATHA have a very good NZBORA s19 action.
BREAKING: PATHA has filed an urgent injunction in the high court seeking to prevent the puberty blocker ban from coming into force, as part of an urgent judicial review we are seeking to overturn the ban entirely.
