@wobrien971 @CaudilloXIV My friend slept with a guy she liked. She went to a family get-together a week later, saw the guy there, went over to ask why he was there and her father introduced the guy as her long-lost cousin...

I met my cousin for the first time when we were 13. We didn't know we were cousins and were hanging out with a bunch of kids in Brooklyn. We really liked each other; I pushed her on a swing, bought her an ice cream cone, and we kissed. I walked her to her aunt's house, and when we got there, I said, that's my aunt's house, and that's when we discovered we were cousins.

How my cousin looks at me at the Christmas dinner table after we’re left alone for 1 minute

@NotT0ngan Not sure but they dropped this.

@actparty "should"? That's not very libertarian of you.

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 “ACT has been approached by parents and students who are alarmed at school leadership abandoning political neutrality and pushing children into protest activity,” says ACT Leader @dbseymour. “We are aware of several schools, particularly in Wellington, formally endorsing the hikoi and encouraging students to participate, to the point of organising buses. Some students are missing exams to attend hikoi activities with the approval of school leadership. “Schools are funded by all of us to equip young people with the knowledge to face the world with an intelligent and open mind. The school system should never be weaponised for indoctrination or to prop up one side of a political debate. “If the Treaty Principles Bill passes into law, every young person can hope to grow up in a society that recognises them above all as a person with equal rights, not as a member of an ethnic group. “The Bill does not harm anyone, but taking kids out of school and exams will harm their future prospects. “ACT understands the Ministry of Education is reminding schools of their obligation to be politically neutral. We also encourage concerned parents to write to their school board reminding them of these obligations under the public service’s Integrity and Conduct standards. “Parents may also consider whether their representatives on their school’s board deserve re-election.”

@SargentSkirata @Broxh_ Basically though. The bill wants to make changes to the treaty that includes everyone in NZ. The treaty was signed by only two parties. Māori and the crown.

@SargentSkirata @Broxh_ It's hard to explain why it's bad. You need to understand the history of māori, colonization, and how māori are viewed, and treated in their own country.

Any way have a good day . No surprise people will be negative towards my culture on here 🤣

@engraverchris @visegrad24 Yes 12 hours old. It happened yesterday.

@visegrad24 This video is old.

A vote in New Zealand’s parliament was suspended today after a conflict erupted over a proposed law redefining the country’s founding agreement between Indigenous Māori and the British Crown. A Haka was performed in front of the man who tabled the bill

@HicksKiwi Two men peacefully interacting. Oh the horror!

A patched Gang member, with his walking stick is rubbing noses, and giving a fucking hongi to a Cop.

@SurLiott9 @ClintVSmith Go read a book that's newer than 1950.

@ClintVSmith Maoris don’t come from New Zealand. The Moriori did and the Maori genocided them all. Just like they did much of the native fauna.

@caffeineworship Why stop at 50 years, go back 200 years and tell me how maori are better off.

I’m still amazed that the majority of Kiwis have no idea what’s been going on over the last 50 years. A small but highly motivated group of Māori and non-Māori leaders, elites and academics have been quietly going about fundamentally changing our education curriculum, language, judiciary, history and local and central Government structures. This is why they’re backlashing against @actparty and the TPB. They’re scared and angry that someone is finally calling it out Study the implications for NZ of UNDRIP, Maitake Mai and He Puapua. Thoroughly read Te Pati Māori’s website and manifesto. Read The Waitangi Tribunal and Te Arawhiti websites. Understand what has been is taking place behind the scenes. The way @chrisluxonmp is going, he will loose the next election and we will have a Labour/Green/TPM coalition Government. Best to be informed.

@upstatefederlst The US can't compete on price with China. Even with the tariffs. Chinese goods will be much cheaper to manufacture. Chinese shirt 2023 $20 Chinese shirt 2024 $30 US shirt 2024 $45

Hey what happens if the shirt is made in the US for $20?

@DankerD @piyushmittal @KBeller4 Materials and freight make up small % of overall costs. It's labour, safety monitoring, work environment, equipment standards that are the big expenses. US will never compete with China on those metrics.

@upstatefederlst You reduce manufacturing costs to the same as China. Employees get paid lower than min wage. Cheap equipment below safety standards.

@ASilvaNZ1 @TheRedbaiter It's divisive in its nature.

@TheRedbaiter I want him to point out exactly which part of the Bill he thinks is divisive.

Wow! Mr Luxon’s words and attitude at today’s dramatic press conference suggested he perhaps should have made the Maori Party his coalition partner rather than the ACT party. During the presser Prime Minister Luxon stated there was nothing about the Treaty Principles Bill that he liked, that it was divisive and that the re-written principles were a “disservice to the Treaty”. He also said he understood the deep feelings of the protesters and intended to address them once they arrived at parliament. Mr Luxon seems to be more worried about the protesters than he is about the feelings of the voters who supported his party. He may regret this by the time of the next election in 2026/27. Or he may regret it even sooner if the coalition is dissolved. Note- This is a heavily edited version of the presser. Many long breathless responses from Mr Luxon have been cut. Most of the cuts were repetitive explanations concerning the “nature of a modern MMP system”. The core messages have not been changed. @NZNationalparty @actparty @nzfirst

The left hate Luxon, the right hate Luxon National are toast next election. Roll on the ❤️ and 💚.

@connan_james @SeanPlunket @chrisluxonmp @dbseymour @NZNationalParty @nzfirst @RB_ACTNZ They definitely will be punished. If they endorse this asinine bill. Waste of taxpayer $$. Pointless.

@SeanPlunket @chrisluxonmp @dbseymour @NZNationalParty will be punished in the next election of they don't get onboard with the will of the people It'll be @nzfirst and @RB_ACTNZ with National as the third wheel This is the worst error @chrisluxonmp has made & will cost them dearly

It seems @chrisluxonmp is just fine with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi being decided by vested power elites and activist judges. He told me there is “nothing “ he agrees with the in @dbseymour ‘s bill.

@actparty @dbseymour Two different interviewers and interviewees, two different environments. Comparing apples and oranges...

This is why New Zealanders don’t trust the media. Spot the difference when TVNZ Breakfast interviews Treaty hīkoi leaders, versus when they introduce @dbseymour

@actparty Nationals already said it won't get through parliament but you're still spending taxpayers $$. Asinine BS.

The Treaty Principles Bill brings all New Zealanders together, united by our common humanity with the same rights and duties.

@actparty It is literally the definition of "divisive".

@gunnerjez89 @GaryPayinda Citation? Can't find any examples on Google search.

@GaryPayinda Luxon donates a lot more than that each year, looking forward to your tweet praising him too.
