te pāti māori haka in response to the first vote on the racist anti māori treaty principles bill introduced to parliament today by david seymour and the act party. toitū te tiriti

This is a powerful performance of the Ka Mate haka, a traditional Māori dance composed by Ngāti Toa rangatira Te Rauparaha - it's internationally known because the All Blacks (national Aotearoa rugby team) perform it before games.

When you watch this, please also understand its context.

The ramification of Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke leading this haka was censure and a temporary suspension.

Expressing her outrage and challenging the injustice of the Treaty Principles Bill being presented and moving into its first reading - in a traditional Māori way - was deemed a "disgusting" disruption by the Speaker of the House.

This is about a Bill that, alongside other steps that the government has taken over the last year, seeks to undermine Maipi-Clarke's culture, and her language, and her right for self-determination and sovereignty in Aotearoa, and her ancestors' involvement in fighting for these rights.

The Treaty Principles Bill dishonours the decades of hard-won progress that has been made in Aotearoa, and Seymour's talk of "equality" in Aotearoa fails to take into account the multi-generational harms that colonisation has wrought on Māori, the colonial systems which continue to disadvantage Māori, and the institutionalised racism that they have to overcome every day.

I'm pretty darn sure I know what the disgusting thing is here, you know?

If you can, please turn up to the nationwide hīkoi to demonstrate your support for te Tiriti and itks principles.

Pākehā, tauiwi - we are tangata Tiriti. We are here because of te Tiriti. We need to be marching alongside Māori at this hīkoi. This is about all of us.

Please share and amplify the hīkoi organisers' and other Māori voices about what NZ govt's actions mean for our future.

And please keep an eye for the next activations.

While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies.

Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Clickhole, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen.

Bobbie how dare you hide this gem in the tags!

i don't know if anyone reads the longer posts i make, so i'm going to try to keep this short and hope that it encourages more people to read.

these kids are zaen and yahya. they're kindergarteners. they were really excited to start school but i don't think it needs to be said what happened afterwards. now they're trying to help their parents collect necessities in gaza.

i'm not going to write paragraphs appealing to the humanity of those reading it. i know it exists. instead i'm just going to tell you about the family and their goals.

reblog this post. i'm not asking, consider this as me begging on their behalf. reblog this post even if you can't donate. please. and if you can, donate. if you want writing commissions in exchange, i'll do those for you. send me your donation receipt and i'll do 100 words for each €1. whatever prompt you want. they only have €1760 raised; they need €60k. they'd managed to raise around €17k when their previous fundraiser got shut down.

i'm putting the important links below, for ease of access.

thank you from the bottom of my heart for whatever you can do for this family.
