I was there! (Just there between the 'P' and the 'E' 😉). First protest I ever went to, & my first realization that the power of the people is ALWAYS greater than the people in power. The government changed their mind after this & our national parks were protected from mining.

Trump idolizes Putin for a reason: he's a pathological liar, hates democracy, demeans women, attacks those who speak out against him...sound familiar? Trump and Putin are the same leader, but in our democracy we have the choice to defend ourselves from a dictatorship and Trump.

Some 1.5 million people have been displaced to Rafah, in Gaza.

They have been deprived of water and food. They have been subjected to evacuation orders and forced displacement by the Israeli military.

There is no safe place in Gaza; people have nowhere left to go...

Uh oh, two men vying to win election. Question line:
Can they do the job given they have children? Will they get emotional at sad moments? What will they wear to meet the King? What will they wear at any given moment? Are they too young for the job?!

I guess I can no longer get tweets in chronological order? Did Elon fire the people who put things in order? #ElonsFolly

@amuse As per susual, out of context twaddle.

Everyday in the September 2022 quarter, NZ banks earned $28 million in pre-tax profits, or $5.52 per person per day. That's more than double a decade ago. But remember, it's low income workers that need to tighten their belts to bring down inflationary pressures.

Saving money already? They clearly went for the low hanging fruit.

Instead of funneling money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a roof over their head and access to medical and mental health care.

[Richard Leckinger @caraka]

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we shall remember them. Cheers Grandpa, and all our veterans.

It's so interesting to see that #ElonsFolly is playing out pretty much exactly how badly I imagined it could.

This is huge. Between 1980/81 and 2021/22, 124,344 people have been convicted of cannabis possession and/or use in New Zealand.

If NZ stepped up and followed Biden's move, that's a lot of people that could have their cannabis convictions pardoned.
