How many days of being #vegan would make up for accidentally killing a suicidal bird with your car? Asking for a friend.

The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.

Is anyone else struggling to hear people in this mask environment and thinking they might rely on lip reading more than they realise? I'm feeling like I might need to get my ears checked.

I get that many Greens (I mean members) are justifiably upset. But surely you have means to express this in-house. You are in a political party seeking the trust of an electorate for whom a lot is at stake. Ask what need you are meeting before tweeting. Love from an aunty.

@jameswbremner @_chloeswarbrick Perhaps people who think other people are the problem could be the problem? 🤔

Since the Republicans are arguing that nothing Trump does can be impeachable, can’t we focus on the fact that he terrorizes gov’t employees, lies every time he speaks, and is a giant fucking asshole?

@simonjbridges @jacindaardern You're a slap on the face to everyday NZers.

The politics of queerness is circulating social media again. Last night, I let go of my same-sex partner’s hand walking down the street because of ‘the looks’. No matter how strong you are, judgment wears you down. It pervades not just your mental health, but your small freedoms.

Y'all need to open your hearts and your minds. #TransWomenAreWomen #TransMenAreMen

[🏳️‍⚧️Marama Davidson MP @MaramaDavidson]

well the false transactivist vs feminist or whatever whatever is just whatever.
There are a few exclusionary wimin loudly advocating a position that is neither feminist or humane.
Love to my trans sistas.

@NZNationalParty National needs to start listening to the needs of more than just business.
