so glad Appropriation Nation was made! 5 x 15min eps on TVNZ. ep #1 features @tinangata.bsky.social & ep #2 is on haka. interview with Leilani Perese of Hurricanes Poua on ❤️‍🔥 haka she led in 2024 and faaark... Hurricanes CEO to her: "What makes you think you can do the haka in oUr jErSeY?" EXCUSE ME?

Sat 30 May. "We're here in Budget Urgency still & I wanted to break down just how harmful this budget is for te taiao, which we all need to exist, to live a good life & pass on a decent future to our kids & grandkids ... this is the most anti-environment govt NZ's ever had" @lanpham.greens.org.nz 💚✊

THANK YOU @ricardommarch @greens.org.nz "Why the rush to grant ‘automated decision makers’ the power over any decision made by WINZ? It speaks volumes that the priorities are to punch down on the unemployed instead of going after the big banks & supermarkets raking while people struggle." #nzpol

"🎮 Ever feel like you wanna hadouken the system? Same. But before you can choose your fighter, you’ve got to choose your vote. Enrol now." new from Hāpaitia, this is fabulous

this clip made me cry. these dedicated beautiful souls are parents, partners, sons and daughters and i wish they were able to be home with their kids, moko, pets and loved ones. cooking a meal, SLEEPING, having a long bath. it's not being an MP in NZ, it's CoC demanding this of them that i despise.

insights from IG... it's a cold Friday nite & with virtually no warning, our opposition MPs are in the Debating Chamber until 12am. for us. i value @greens.org.nz MPs for offering a glimpse into the mahi they do - & they never ever complain - but i got teary at these clips. CoC exacts such a price.

@tamathapaul @greens.org.nz 29 May plz donate Aotearoa BSky and whanau, no matter the amount 💚

❤️ how incredible, activated, politicised & righteously sweary are tertiary students of Aotearoa! 🎉 more IG clips today of groups marching in Ōtepoti streets, at rallies held in Ōtautahi & at Waikato. AUT, UoA & Massey students met to do the same. it's so good to see! @isootepoti MSM covering it? ❌

☠️ christ it never ends. with Parliament under urgency, Oriini Kaipara & Ricardo have been posting on how they're battling the use of AI by MSD. "Minister for this Bill isn't even here to speak to it or us who're here doing our best to fight for vulnerable communities she's responsible for" - Oriini

#ThereIsNoBestMāoriArtist an exquisite songwriter & performer of international renown & every time Stan Walker gets on an Aotearoa stage he's no different than had he just popped into your lounge back from the dairy with kai. i love that about him, and all the peeps who keep our ceremonies real af 😂

🔥 how hard are Māori Claimant Counsel working to hold Goldsmith accountable to basic requests made by Waitangi Tribunal? EXTREMELY HARD. on Budget night, when they're already prepping for Tribunal Urgent Inquiry to begin on Tues, Annette Sykes, Jack Potaka & @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social fightin 🥊

Budget 2026 is the lowest investment in Māori in 15yrs 💥The overall budget boasts a general increase in $13.4B and Māori ~took a loss of $34million~ That equates to 0.24% of the entire govt budget for Māori. @oriini_kaipara TAX THE RICH

omg @rnzmusic posted an edit of Tami Neilson's speech and made sure to include the end 👏 "Tami Neilson, winner of Best Country Artist at the 2026 Aotearoa Music Awards, shares a heartfelt tribute dedicated to the late Jools Topp - as well as a biting response to New Zealand First's gender bill."

#Budget2026 CoC "cuts towards targeted Māori programmes which address the racism of the last century or more, that is unprecedented in post-settlement economies. We've had more taken away from these targeted programmes than we have at any other time." @tinangata.bsky.social @teaomaorinews 27 May

what does Budget Day hold? "This NZ govt has constantly trashed our Māori sectors. We would make different political decisions to make sure people have what they need to live good lives 💚" @maramadavidson.bsky.social @greens.org.nz plus, notice if any Māori response is heard in Budget Panels & MSM 👀

as an 80s teen it was so liberating to see women like this, who moved on stage like this, who uncompromisingly spoke & behaved & called shit out as the Topps did. & who were tangata tiriti. we demanded our 6th Form HGHS drama skit was based on Untouchable Girls & our feminist teacher let us do it 🫡

on IG, people from all LW parties are sharing this clip by @arenaa.bsky.social Arena, Vanushi Walters & Camilla Belich are respected. i can't see how outside of IG/FB, the general public who consume MSM have any idea. Labour should be using them! 🤦 Hipkins? people tune out, turn sound off. i sure do

Nurses of Aotearoa Diabetes Collective are so concerned about their patients that are going to suffer/die, they've made *10* videos like this in 5 days. i hate that Rose had to share her intimate details to encourage people to subumit an email. plz do. whole thread of info ⤵️ DEADLINE 🔴Thurs 28 May🔴

i'm very drawn to a leader of a political party who is constantly thinking of different ways to make accessible & real-world relevant What Is Actually Going On. & does a video from the couch at home on a Satdee night wearing an iwi hoodie. Chlöe truly cares about us all Getting It. 🙏💚 @greens.org.nz

to finish, @luxury_marmite_sandwich_ (posted back in March 2026 when Move-on Orders were announced)

Aotearoa's unions have been doing fantastic and almost instaneous comms on IG & FB throughout the past hideous month. really energised & comforted to see it! 🙏 bonus that Fleur's earrings are signal #2948164 that CoC & Knobson's lot do not represent majority of Pakeha belief ❤️🤍🖤 @nzpsa.bsky.social
