If Donald Trump knew of the strike in Doha in advance, he has in effect endorsed an attack on a state under American protection. If he did not, it shows that America cannot constrain Israel economist.com/leaders/2025/0…

I'm struggling to find the words for the new horrors unfolding in Gaza. And frankly, I'm sick of the empty statements from so many governments, including our own. We need urgent action. That means widespread sanctions on Israel, including on trade and a full arms embargo.

Another quick thing: About 8 of 10 Black men and 9 of 10 Black women voted for Harris, which is typical most election cycles sans the unique-Obama era, according to imprecise exit polls. So please stop with the “Black people went for Trump” trope.

And still we normalise an election where one of the candidates is legally liable for rape, tried to overturn an election and was impeached for blackmailing the president of Ukraine. That’s the story. It’s historic because a tyrant is running. Say that. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…

I do feel sorry for the younger NZ generations. They were told they won’t get a house if they waste money on lattes and smashed avocado, now they’re being told off for working from their over priced shitty rentals instead of spending money on lattes and smashed avocado.
