Unimaginable destruction in Gaza: homes, schools, hospitals reduced to rubble.

Survivors tell me we have to bear witness.

And that we must do more: to protect them, to deliver lifesaving aid, to maintain the ceasefire, to help them rebuild.

Layoffs in #NZ public sector have been extreme & very damaging to its capacity; in the US, attacks on the public service have reached a whole new level with devastating impact on US soft power, capacity for environmental protection, & much else.

79 UN Member States have signed public statement of support for @IntlCrimCourt in reaction to Trump Administration’s sanctions against its staff. #NZ Govt hasn’t signed despite being on record in past as strong supporter of #ICC. What explains this opting out? Or do we know….

“In a real sense, US democracy has died this month. It doesn’t mean it’s dead for the long term but at this moment the idea of an accountable representative system, as the framers of the constitution wrote it, is no longer present.” ⁦@larryrjacobs⁩ https://t.co/xeBqdjkJzB

I often talk about righteous fights. Make no mistake: we are in one.

This fight will be long. Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize us.

But when things get tough, there is only one option ahead of us: Nevertheless, we must persist.

I didn't have much time to shoot this composition as the iceberg was moving quite fast, forcing me to choose new angles that were less than ideal. Fortunately I did manage to capture this scene before the iceberg moved out of position. One thing I like about icebergs is you never know what kind of scene you will shoot. There are a few nice surprises along the way. Shot at Broad Cove near Adams Cove.

If National is worried about Kiwis leaving NZ for better pay in Australia, why have they voted against every policy that would raise wages?

"No one can tell us with a straight face that Ms. Su is unqualified — she is extremely well qualified — this has everything to do with the fact that Julie Su is a champion for the working class of this country who will stand up to the forces of corporate greed." @SenSanders ✊

I’m off to New Zealand to deliver an address at the150th anniversary of my old law school—the University of Otago in Dunedin. Long way to go for a 30 minute address, but it’s very exciting and an honor to be asked.

@ivybridgebooks The seven moons of Maali Almeida is so good. Full of quotable quotes:
‘I make what all the world’s millionaires do not.’
Stanley raised an eyebrow. ‘What is that?’
‘Enough.’

One of the most epic trolls I ever experienced was when I had dinner with a Chinese family. They asked me if I would like to eat with chopsticks. I said sure, and so they set my place with chopsticks but set out knives and forks for themselves.
