A small town take on the big, wide world

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you for your support.

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

Deeply shocked to see the bullying & attempted intimidation of President Zelenskyy in Oval Office today. President Zelenskyy’s people are suffering hugely as they defend their freedom. They & their leader deserve support not abuse. Europe must now step up: https://t.co/aNey7yQNNs

[Jill's Scene @jillscene]

On this, I agree!

[Christopher Luxon @chrisluxonmp]

New Zealand remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine as it defends itself in a war that Russia started.

It's mounting the defence of a proud, democratic and sovereign nation, but also the defence of international law.

An explanation of why Te Tiriti is important to all of us. (Edited from the original). Tina Ngata providing some thoughtful & interesting info.

[𝔹𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕦𝕦 😕 @tinangata]

Getting thrown out of parliament on the darkest day for Te Tiriti is something to be proud of. If ever you're going to suspend parliament and get thrown out... THAT'S the day and reason to do it. Good on Hana, Willie, all who rose in support. For that fact alone we are proud.

What a great piece of history to bring alive for young readers.Forever grateful to Frederick Banting #T1diabetes #insulin4all

[Miss Diabetes @miss__diabetes]

I hope that when kids read this children's book, they will be inspired by the true significance of medical science. They might also make one of the greatest medical discoveries of the 21st century, like Banting did in the 20th century! 🩵 #insulin4all

"Las Meninas" is one of the most revolutionary (and mysterious) paintings in history.

At first glance it might not be obvious why.

But when you notice its little details, everything unravels… (thread) 🧵
