I recommend these books by @csmaje for a detailed discussion of why this is not only desirable, but necessary for humanity's future

@tauhenare and having better flood resilience.

@tauhenare Climate resilience, mitigation and adaptation arrall important. Reducing emissions is hard but necessary. In Aotearoa that means evolving our faking practices, planting trees and restoring repo/wetlands, IK Taamaki Makaurau it means better public transport .

The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.

Yet again predominantly Māori rural and semi-rural communities are suffering the worst of climate change and natural disasters in this country. The neglected infrastructure and lack of public investment around in Te Tai Tokerau and Tairāwhiti is what causes this inequity.

The destabilisation of the #AMOC is no longer a distant scenario - it’s a national and global security risk. In a new article in Dagens Nyheter, Iceland’s Climate Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson and I outline actions to tackle this threat: https://t.co/1tfJJGNpUT (in Swedish)

Today is a good day for ICE to get out of Minnesota.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

COLLINS: After you told ICE to get the F out of the city, I've seen a lot of Republicans criticizing you for escalating tensions. What do you say to that?

JACOB FREY: I'm so sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but here's the thing: if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb and on the other you have someone who killed somebody else

@CurtisHouck ICE are the dangerous criminals.

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

@JosephMooneyMP How many properties does John Key have? How many properties does Luxon have? This is more the issue. Some own lots and lots. More than they need.

@evenstevens007 @tauhenare You mean religious and civil wars like in England and Europe? 🤔 You definitely are a dinosaur.
