"Trump can say seven outrageous things on a Saturday, and by Monday people have forgotten about them. That’s the problem with Trump... he's a firehose of bullshit... as a result, he’s held to a completely different standard than Biden." -- Charlie Sykes

Who is most vulnerable to climate change? The answer might be surprising. One of a few videos I shot while working with folks in the Republic of Kiribati, a low-lying island country in the middle of the Pacific.

It seems that the UK are getting rid of the Tories, but they are replacing them with a "at least we're not them" labour government. AoNZ need to pressure our opposition parties to give us something to vote for, rather than expecting us to simply vote against the other clowns. Start now dickheads!

Australian Labor appears to have done something similar. Labour's default cannot be 'we're not them' or people will simply not vote.

In great news: heroic scenes at Auckland Council, with a near-unanimous pushback against this indefensible government overreach on local streets. πŸ™Œ Including a strengthened response on safe speeds around schools (carried by a casting vote!). Very very grateful for the integrity on display today. πŸ™πŸ₯°

I don't even remember seeing a single bit of Dem messaging, it was mostly up to marginalized and underfunded progressive consumer advocates to warn people, and they were mostly treated as hyperbolic

Right-wing legal talking heads are focusing on arguing that it is RIDICULOUS to say that a second-term Trump will be empowered by immunity to do horrific things, while carefully preparing to argue in seven months that it is RIGHT that Trump do horrific things which aren’t actually horrific anyway.

That's $174,900 less than those fucking muppets paid Bill English for his bullshit report on KO. You know, the one they raided the transitional housing budget to pay for. People who need transitional housing after, say, getting flooded out of their homes.
