So do you suppose David Seymour's #Act Party were so keen to have Te Pāti Māori MP's jailed for performing a #haka because they didn't want them present as Seymour & Act attempt to rush their undemocratic and treacherous #RegulatoryStandardsBill through parliament under urgency?

Regardless of whether you support or oppose this treasonous bill, the dismantling of constitutional and democratic parliamentary process should alarm all #NZTwits. Perhaps #DavidSeymour sees this as a way of guaranteeing his ambition of bringing about a #CivilWar in #Aotearoa #NewZealand. #NZPol #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TreatyOfWaitangi #TeTiritiOWaitangi #ToitūTeTiriti

This is my friend Lucy who is currently missing in Wellington Pōneke. She is vulnerable, low on resources, and may be experiencing paranoia and disordered thinking so if you see her please be gentle and straightforward. Her mother is now nearby and can come to wherever.

she currently has blonde hair not pink.

If you find her stay close and message me to pass on to her mum ASAP or the local crisis team on 0800 745 477

Boosts welcome.

FWIW I was tweeting about this before I developed LC, and these potential impacts in NZ, when we stopped elimination and then mitigation, 2021-2022.

A lot of the #NZTwits put me on mute then. Again, that collective *were not doing anything about it*, doesn’t just mean the gov folks.

Hey #NZTwits - when I ask for examples of "ancient things" what do you know about? I'm thinking things like Stonehenge, Great Pyramid, Julius Caesar (?), Woolly Mammoths, etc.

Boosts welcome for reach (please only Kiwis reply tho)

Help me out,

I have a question for #NZTwits and #Aotearoa adjacent peeps:

Who is your favourite NZ-based musician who is both:
a. currently active and
b. got a bit of an activist streak or isn't afraid to be outspoken about issues they care about?

bonus points if connected to Te Ao Māori or at least is a pakeha or Tauiwi ally.

I know it's a weird one. But pls humour me.

Saucy headline Stuff, saucy... #oohmatron #nz #newzealand #NZTwits

OH NO you don't Australia doesn't get to claim our Kiwi (and other native birds)...

(reality is of course at some stage they came here from somewhere)

For #NZTwits interested in choosing a clean energy future you can add your name to this #Greenpeace petition for a clean energy future here:

Thanks to the generous initial response to this #GiveALittle and 100% success with her funding applications (also amazing) Daena is going to Houston ... but complications have drained the money set aside for contingencies so we're boosting it around again to try and build that safety margin back up.

I'm a believer in the power of weak links so a boost is as good as a contribution :)

This brilliantly chilling "Make My Money Matter" ad just came up in my YT algorithm so I looked it up to share with all the #NZTwits and #NZPol followers who are interested in where their #KiwiSaver investments are being placed.

This is my talented wife, who has had a piece accepted into the juried exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival, kind of an Olympics of quilting.

All her quilting friends /mentors are saying that she absolutely has to be there herself if possible, so we’re trying to crowdfund.

Time for another #NZTwits #NZPol Poll - Preferred minor party.

If you could not vote for either #National or #Labour who would you give your party vote to? I am only able to offer 4 options so the 4 options are the parties currently in NZ Parliament. Other political parties leave comment.

#NZTwits #NZPol poll.

Should Judith Collins and NZ Government allow the New Zealand Defence Force to take part in military exercises with a country currently accused of committing #WarCrimes and plausible #Genocide by the #ICJ and led by a man with an #ICC arrest warrant request for war crimes?

@LALegault

I don't think most #NZTwits know just how lucky NZ is that the indigenous Māori negotiated a treaty with the British Crown. Te tiriti o Waitangi protects us all in #NewZealand. Tanagata means people, Whenua means land and Tiriti means treaty. We now have many ethnicites and cultures living in Aotearoa NZ but still have two distinct groups. Tanagata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti.

Godfuckingdammit.

How far we've fallen, and continue to fall, from "world leading response".

#NZTwits of Wellington, please support Zephyr Cafe, who closed in solidarity with the trans community on Saturday during the TERF conference, who are now getting abused on X and review-bombed by said TERFs.

Retoot for reach!

I highly recommend #NZTwits watch this wonderful #StateOfThePlanet address from #NZGreen Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick today.
