I would rather be the only person wearing a respirator until the day I die, than normalising and contributing to the eugenicist mass death project our capitalist overlords are forcing upon us.

Meanwhile in Latin American news, #Petro has expelled Argentinean diplomats because #Milei called him a terrorist and a murderer.

Feels weird to be on the side of a Colombian president, but Milei is honestly bananas. Petro was a guerrilla fighter but not a murderer. And he worked for a peace agreement.

While far from perfect and with plenty of flaws, he's sincerely committed to his ideals (opposite to Milei's).

If we passed Three Waters we'd be on our way to address this.

But some people's racism is stronger than their desire to not have poo in the water. They'd rather not have clean swimming spots than share power with Māori.

Anyway, I'm sure swimming in sewage would only strengthen the kids' immune systems though.
We need to move on and learn to live with poo in the water.

"Let me be clear: the song Tubthumping was written to celebrate the resilience and tenacity of working-class folk who keep fighting when the chips are down. It has nothing whatsoever in common with wealthy politicians with extremist anti-liberal agendas."

#Chumbawamba's Boff Whalley on the money about Winston Peters and his retrograde, xenophobic brand of "elitist pretending to be of the people" politics.

Canada is apparently running out of measles vaccines. Because the outbreak is on and people are reacting to it.

That sucks.

So New Zealand, this is your reminder that if you haven't got your full course of measles vaccines (two doses) or if you are not sure, you can book a vaccine here:

https://bookmyvaccine.health.nz/

It's free, easy, and safe.
Don't wait until we're in the midst of an outbreak.
And we likely will be.

I'm never going to not be angry at the fact that we've collectively accepted that it's fine to infect kids repeatedly with a virus that causes, among many other problems, brain damage and immune problems.

We could have at least given them clean air.

It's absolutely despicable, villainous behaviour for which some of them will suffer for the rest of their lives.
All so the money keeps flowing to the rich.

Unforgiveable.

#GDP is on the news today so here's a classic joke:

Two economists walk through a forest. They come across a turd on the ground.
"I'll give you $100 if you eat it" one says, the other agrees, takes the money and eats the shit.
Later they find another turd.
"Now I will give you $100 if you eat this" the other wants the money, so agrees and eats the second turd.
As they leave they reflect:
"You know, it feels like we both ate shit for nothing."
"You'd think so, but we increased GDP by $200"

The Accountability Archive is a crowdsourced record of journalists, politicians, and public figures endorsing or encouraging the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and/or defaming pro-Palestinian activists.

We have a vision of a public resource for future historians, and researchers, helping understand how power holders attempted to manufacture consent for the genocidal aggression towards the Palestinian people. We hope this resource will serve to hold them to account.

Students at Freyburg High School in Palmerston North perform an impromptu haka protesting politician David Seymour.

Their school is one of many at risk of losing their free lunch school program, currently 'under review' by Seymour.

The kids are alright.

"Pōkokohua."
#NZPol

Politician David Seymour stands in front of a large group of students challenging him with a haka. The leader spits at his feet and calls him a Pōkokohua. (not a nice word in Māori) Seymour leaves. As he scurries hurriedly into his car, protected by his security detail, the students stand around and swear at him.
