Gender Essentialists Hate the Olympics
The Olympics are a real persistent problem for gender essentialists: it’s a showcase for some of the most diverse forms a female body can take from the pint-size power of Simone Biles to the massive wingspan of 7-foot-3 women’s basketballer Zhang Ziyu. Illona Maher from…

English rising anti-fascism
This is more hope than I have felt about humans in a long time. After two weeks of fascist-driven rioting and looting across England, that targeted Muslims, immigrants of colour, and refugees, 'ordinary people' got out in the streets to protect those being targeted. Thousands…

Maritime Union v Willis

National has been caught out yet again using dubious analysis of data to justify policy. This time to claim there is a crisis in the teaching of maths. From Luxon's speech to the National Party Conference delivered last weekend: Today we can tell you about…

Israel is in Serious Trouble
Let’s lay out where Israel finds itself right now: in trouble. Israel’s politics and military has been pulled into Gaza. There continues to be no plan to get the IDF out, no plan for Gaza to either be functionally governed or reconstructed should they get…

David Seymour and his relationship to Atlas Network – Could this affect the fate of 7AA?
This post is crossposted from Mountain Tui's publication In my mind, if I could draw - (spoiler: I can’t draw) - I’d draw David Seymour with an Atlas branded tutu whirling around Aotearoa New Zealand singing about “human rights,” “human dignity,” and “respect” while physically…

The Promises of Lange, Moore, Bolger, and the WTO
If one were to boil down the harvest of promises, ripe hopes, and vintage-deep beliefs from the late 1980s and 1990s by our political leaders, business leaders and their spokespeople, endless columnists, think-tank writers and quangoes, you’d find the following. The power of the nation-state…
