Jordan Williams was trained by 🇺🇸fossil corp/billionaire funded #AtlasNetwork to run one of 550+ ‘thinktanks’ in 100 nations, to take over Aotearoa’s public policy ‘debate’ & government for them with nasty propaganda. Isn’t #AtlasNetwork the most dangerous, antisocial, predatory lawless gang ever?

1. Anything run or started by Jordan Williams should be considered the same organisation 2. You can bet he (and Seymour) would be super against anything even slightly slanderous aimed at ACT (see: Tim Jago) #nzpol

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Right now, I am very proud of the (young) people of Brasil. Look what they did in a week using popular music fan groups to motivate their peers. That was a BIG save for South America and the planet.

And, most importantly, thanks to the vital mobilisation of young people. Students took to the streets the day after the first round elections, kickstarting massive movements that saw the largest public demonstrations in Brazil since the days of Diretas Já at the end of the military dictatorship.

What The President said, but in NZ 👇 ...Remember all the hysterical rants about wasteful spending by the Labour Government before the last election? I do. That was their reasoning for sacking 35K 'Bureaucrats.' Whats out debt like now? Way higher and our country is in a death spiral. #nzpol

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

I get this manufactured media political outrage over politicians of the left meeting gangs, 'they're meeting bad people who will endanger your safety' blah. Casey Costello's ACT & National Govt have given $300m tax breaks to an industry that kills 13 kiwis a day. Who is the greater danger?

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

theguardian.com‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentreCompany ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. Continue reading...

You might recognize some names here in Aotearoa....one is supposedly a "Family Company" being sued for its cancer causing talcum powder and the other does LOTS of "work" for the National Party in Government. In this case the 'talcum' is likely inhaled. #nzpol

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
