Cruelty of our government. They now want to make it so 18-19 year olds with mental or psychiatric illnesses can't get benefits and have to live with their parents. They also took benefits off 18-19 year olds saying they should be working. Our unemployment is at a record high. There aren't enough jobs for these young people. There aren't enough jobs because this government took them away from people. Winston Peters (dinosaur) is more worried about screaming "woke" and making English an official language (why do we need to?) Christopher Luxon (egg) spent 20k on a helicopter ride. Seymour wants to take away workers rights. People are suffering. We need to get as many people as we can to vote them out when the election comes.

Our government is stupid and cruel. Wanting to ban homeless people so they don't have to look at them, without looking at the why are they homeless? A lot of people end up homeless due to situations or circumstances beyond their control or mental health issues. They caused this by removing emergency housing. They caused this by making a lot of people redundant and putting rich/wealthy first. AHHHHH

Fellow Kiwis. The government is trying to bring in a bill to change conservation laws. This bill would put local wildlife and environments in danger. You can make a submission here:

The Mexican embassy should embarrass the fuck out of them

The rainbow crossings that were painted over. It's a horrible hate crime but one thing stands out to me. The white made the rainbow brighter when they repainted it. The rain washed the water-based paint away to reveal the rainbow. And the voices of allies and lbgtqia+ people drowned out the hate. Because goodness knows our government won't do anything about it. We all know how they feel about queer people.

The way Willie Jackson just shouted "SHAME" "SHAME ON YOU DAVID SEYMOUR" at David Seymour is sending me. GO GO GO FIGHT AGAINST THIS BILL. This bill should never have been allowed anyway. Fuck NACT.

Well done Pepper the cockatoo for winning Massey Uni quote of the year taking out Luxon and Seymour. Bonus for making it so Seymour said on tv "You never want to get beaten by a cock"
