Kiwi parent and teacher. Yes to inclusion and kindness, no to racism and right-wing lunatics.

Nobody should be able to buy the Supreme Court — but that’s exactly what is happening.

We have seen this corruption from multiple members of this extremist conservative majority SCOTUS, all while they continue to actively strip away the rights of American people.

From a school perspective, we don't have extra staff to look after your kid if you don't want them to cover the sexuality curriculum. If you don't want us to teach them you can pay for extra staff to babysit or we can send them home.

Jon Stewart delivers another crushing truth. 🔥

Why do we let corporations socialize financial losses and privatize their gains?

Let that marinate for a few minutes before commenting, it might be a little heavy at first.

What makes these men think it's okay to treat a woman like that? I pity their wives and family. And they better get charged with assault.

Christians, we wonder why people struggle to take us seriously...

Yet, we have anti-māori movements up and down the country led by Christians...

Deeply concerning that teachers are being sacrificed to COVID while the Ministry of Education HAS TECH TO PROTECT US!

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

The fossil fuel industry has spent billions convincing people that climate change is a myth.

People come up to me and say climate change is a left wing conspiracy and a money grab.

Who has more to gain or lose if we shift towards renewables? Follow the money!

Matariki, also known as “White Fragility Melt Down Day” is a beautiful opportunity for remembrance, celebration, and togetherness.
Anyone calling it a made up festival is idiotic. All festivals are made up.
Racism is the last bastion of the unintelligent. https://t.co/k4v7xwHjgU

Our Income Guarantee & Pledge to Renters will give everyone earning under $125,000 a tax cut + at least $385 p/w for *everyone*; and it will ensure everyone has access to a healthy, warm home.

Poverty is a political choice, and we’re the only party choosing to end it.

#BREAKING The Prime Minister has just ruled out a wealth tax; full stop.

Inequality has never been worse & the solutions have never been clearer.

The time for inaction & tinkering is over; the time for political courage is now, the only option this year is the Green Party.

[BoxyBristol @BoxyBristol]

@NZNationalParty I don't think I want to vote for a party which make sweeping generalisations based on two people's comments. So sick of this petty nonsense, National.

You walk through life thinking the rich might have a few houses. One in a city, bach by a beach, one near a skifield.

The actual stats are bonkers.

[Chris @canderlodge]

So we have Uffindell pontificating on law & order and how young offenders should be punished?
And Woodhouse commenting ardently on J Tinetti's reputation & parliamentary standards. Ffs his reputation is in the gutter & he has no standards.
Why isn't the media calling these 2 out?

[A.J Hendry @AeJayHendry]

If you're a mum and dad landlord and you can't afford to ensure that your rental property is healthy and fit for people to live in, you shouldn't be investing in housing.

Where the hell are the Labour government on education?

1) we have 0 applicants for teaching roles
2) we are putting non-specialists in classes
3) Australia is poaching teachers with $$$
4) Vic is SHUTTING it's Graduate Diploma of Teaching programme
5) the MoE offers a paycut
