Next Tuesday, 24 Sept, is the anniversary of the French annexation of #NewCaledonia in 1853. In Paris and cities across France, Kanak students and workers and their supporters are preparing rallies in solidarity with the independence movement and the right to self-determination.

A filament of air associated with the tropospheric polar vortex will move into NZ from Monday night-early Wednesday 🥶 🐧 This will result in a July-like chill, strong winds & snow to low levels, particularly on Tuesday-Tuesday night. The wintry wallop will ease by Thursday.

Looks like quite a lot of people felt that magnitude 4.0 earthquake near Amberley. Another reminder that earthquakes can occur anywhere in New Zealand at any time. Remember Drop, Cover and Hold is the right action to take in an earthquake. twitter.com/geonet/status/…

The Southern Hemisphere polar vortex took a unique journey this winter ♻️ A mid-July, minor Sudden Stratospheric Warming event saw the vortex become elongated, weaker & wobbly. This stratospheric anomaly affected tropospheric weather patterns, but now appears to be easing.

2/2 — but for a better and more inclusive Aotearoa New Zealand. His commitment to the kaupapa was fearless and unwavering — that’s his legacy that we’ll all remember fondly. Haere ki o tūpuna, okioki tahi ki ōu mātua.

1/2: The passing of Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII has me both saddened and shocked — having just celebrated the 18th anniversary of his Coronation. Kiingi Tuheitia was a fierce and staunch advocate, voice and leader, not only for Māoridom —

RIP Kingi TuHeitia. #Kingitanga A force for Good.

Our free health service is UNDER ATTACK by the NZ government. They are using massive funding cuts. Which, of course, leads to massive personnel cuts. Be very scared people, especially the elderly, the disabled and the already sick. This is happening right now.

@BobbyMiller202 Atlas thinktanks, spinoff orgs, and anonymous websites are always trying to position their far-right extremist politics as 'centrist'- it's what they call 'shifting the Overton Window'.
