They truly deserve to live a much better and safer life, filled with peace, love, and hope for a bright future.

Benedict Cumberbatch recites Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish’s “On this land there are reasons to live” poem at the “Together for Palestine” event.

“On this land, there are reasons to live. This land, the lady of lands, the motherland of beginnings, the motherland of all ends. She was known as Palestine; she, forevermore, will be known as Palestine. My land, my lady, you’re a reason to live.”

We broke every possible social contract for young people, unprecedented wealth transfer from young to old, devalued the currency, made home prices insane, education debt crazy and now for the lulz we're automating all the entry level white collar work. Just incredible

Australia just announced the minimum wage will rise 3.5%.

NZ Govt lifted the min wage only 1.5% this year.

But don’t worry, today the NZ govt announced weakening WorkSafe’s capability despite NZ having 2x the workplace deaths Australia does.

Dark day for New Zealand women as Government announces it will repeal pay equity law and even extinguish existing claims in an unconstitutional overreach. Game on to fight against this!

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

It's a good question.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

What is freedom of speech worth if you cannot condemn genocide?

Solidarity with trans people always and forever 🏳️‍⚧️

Pretty funny that Seymour claims the hīkoi is not representative of NZ. 55,000 people marching, plus more signatories to the petition than Act received party votes.
If the hīkoi is not representative (though I believe it is), the Act party agenda can’t be either.

[Educator @DrAnnLopez]

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.

Scottish paper The National runs a front page detailing all the Israeli war crimes in its genocide against Gaza

Your regular reminder that bike network (incl pedestrian and bus improvements) make up 0.17% of this year's rates increase. Rates revolters are really protesting water costs, interest rates, insurance and depreciation.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Huh that’s weird. Never could have seen this coming.

[Geordie Rogers @grogersxyz]

A thriving city centre will not come from limiting the rights of workers. It will come from enabling workers to live close to where they work, providing more affordable transport choices - and believe it or not - keeping them employed

[Lew @LewSOS]

So the leaders of both parties that will be responsible for approving rapid consents do not regard endangered species in a wildlife sanctuary as an adequate reason to disrupt a boat race

Here is s10 of the Wildlife Act 1953 as amended in 2013 by that nice man John Key's govt
