NGL, I have a lot of time for Craig Renney, but I'd be much happier if he weren't running in a Green constituency.
Run him against Bishop in the Hutt!

First Dr Gary Payinda now "high-profile economist Craig Renney to run as its candidate in Wellington Bays in next year's election.".
Not surprising at all Craig Renney is running for Labour but surprised that Labour is announcing new progressive candidates this early before the election.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

There is a reason our fundy PM appointed another fundy as the Minister of Health and it is because they share the same beliefs on many issues, including abortion #nzpol
If they can ban access to healthcare like puberty blockers for one group of people, they can do this with any healthcare for their next target. They will ban abortion again given the chance and they will come after contraception after that. The anti-choice movement is our govt right now. #nzpol

My anxiety spikes so much at this time of year. Christmas to me just means incredible financial stress & feeling sad about having a fractured extended family. So many shitty things in my life have happened around Christmas & it’s tainted forever for me. #Kikorangi

For the NZ government to make this announcement of an ideological policy restricting puberty blockers for health care during Trans Awareness Week is pathetically and predictably cruel.
I hope they rot.

Closed crossings, preventing the delivery of medicine and food. Winter rains and cold leave the people of Gaza exposed to the elements. The bombing and killing continue; only the global movement against this genocide has ceased. This was the objective of the agreement.

MTG is no less racist than she was two months ago, but the fact that she's beefing with trump will cause thousands of white liberals to flock to her nevertheless. sometimes the enemy of your enemy is just everybody's enemy.

Folk in community/social service spaces tend to be left leaning, but this is the first time I’ve been at a community conference where people talk openly during the tea breaks about needing a change of government and strategies for voting them out - and it's not yet an election year 🤯 #nzpol
