BREAKING: Moments ago at the White House this took place.

A bunch of old people praying for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, who appears to have just blown up 100+ Iranian schoolchildren, while he hides the Epstein files, in which he appears in thousands of times.

We are a joke.

@atrupar Trump sitting next to the man that ordered the murder of an American attacks the reporter.

Donald Trump will be a stain on our history forever.

Every week, the number of protesters in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa carrying pictures of Gaza children murdered by Israel grows.

They congregated in their hundreds. Now they congregate in their thousands.

A thin ray of light in the endless darkness

Stop the genocide!

Salute to all the opposition MPs who, under short notice, fought for all NZ in the house. There were some incredible speeches from MPs who are passionate about the people of NZ. 🫡❤️

Palestinian women are weeping over the lifeless corpses of their children every single fucking day but i'm supposed to feel Female Empowerment bc a rich popstar got flung into space for 11 minutes by the billionaire selling AI weaponry to israel

“When people think of journalists dying in war, they often imagine them on the front lines, embedded with troops or otherwise near the fighting.”

This is not the case in Gaza, where Israel deliberately targets journalists in their homes with their families. Assassinations.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

“All this hate for Israel makes me feel anxious and unsafe!”

Really? Are you sure that’s what you’re feeling? Are you sure it’s not guilt? Gut-wrenching guilt about all those dead kids in the genocide you support? Or cognitive dissonance, because your entire worldview is wrong?

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

Babies and children and adults are dying NOW from lack of drinking water and starvation

WHY is the world looking away?

WHY is the West looking away?

WHY are self-described liberals looking away?

WHAT is WRONG WITH HUMANITY?

I’d like to take a moment to apologise to David Seymour

for absolutely nothing

[Steve Sosebee @Stevesosebee]

“Forgive me mom, I just wanted to help people.” The last words of a Palestinian paramedic in Gaza before being executed by the Israeli army, March 23, 2025. Never forget. 🇵🇸☮️✌🏻

8% supported it. 90% opposed it.
Pakeha seniors who’d never marched in their lives joined the hikoi in great numbers.

If winston peters were alive today he would be disgusted to find the party he started to give voice to homegrown nz anti-asian racism now just imports the latest american bigotries

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

More disturbing accounts of deaths of 15 #Palestinian paramedics & rescue workers who were found buried in mass grave in #Gaza. Crushed UN vehicle, ambulance & fire truck were also buried in sand by IDF. There must be a full inquiry & accountability:

It's interesting that the Chinese President can make this observation, but the New Zealand Prime Minister won't.

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

Further proof that #NZ Minister of Health thinks health equates to healthcare, & has no understanding of the wider social & commercial determinants which influence health status. Obesogenic environments, for ex, have a profound impact on peoples’/communities’ health. @HealthCoA

[Kyle Church @KyleDChurch]

Simeon Brown was told he could save lives and he chose to end them instead

Yet another act that in this government that should ensure an MP would never work in this country again
