Withdraw from 5-eyes and put sanctions on the US exactly the same as you would if any other country had committed this act of aggression that breaks international law.<br/><br/>Right now it looks as though you don’t care about rules based order and rather more concerned about being on the same side as the biggest bully.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/583129/venezuela-attack-new-zealand-concerned-expects-everyone-to-follow-international-law-winston-peters">https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/583129/venezuela-attack-new-zealand-concerned-expects-everyone-to-follow-international-law-winston-peters</a><br/><br/>#nzpol 2026-01-03T21:32:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2g6s248vkk3zyy2pc3ys6a4dytespzdgqw8rt7e0s9hqnzqsrxfczyqpn7rzhazcleewmq4rlwkpjn5pdrukk0uxjgwjm4mxdzph5r2ttjz7dfd7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspasu3mt5xr7k0tj9jsgwg6hex28yz8acd5hmgll5x4zvpueqfvlc4wxjuy'>nevent1q…xjuy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sunday I was back at a friends #restoration project. They purchased a 22Ha forestry block that was logged last year with the intention of restoring it back to native forest.<br/><br/>We’ve been setting up plots and doing baseline #biodiversity surveys so they can track progress. Being ex-forestry brings challenges and benefits so it will be interesting to watch over the long term.<br/><br/>It’s steep land so it’s hard work but has amazing views.<br/> <img src="https://sunbeam.city/system/media_attachments/files/115/720/248/107/694/581/original/bef4a1f1b3c69579.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-12-14T22:23:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspasu3mt5xr7k0tj9jsgwg6hex28yz8acd5hmgll5x4zvpueqfvlczyqpn7rzhazcleewmq4rlwkpjn5pdrukk0uxjgwjm4mxdzph5r2ttje6nrdq Super busy weekend.<br/>Our #communitygarden had the last working bee of the year and then a Christmas lunch. It was great to catch up with some@folks I hadn’t seen for a while.<br/>Afterwards I spent a couple of hours trying to wrangle my garden into some semblance of order.

I have some thoughts.<br/>The assessment that “The Dems made a serious error moving right, appealing to so-called moderate Republicans” is 100% right. And Labour makes the same mistake of moving to the right to pander to centrists and ignore workers. But at least in Aotearoa we have options to the left of them.<br/><br/>I guess punishing the Dems (labour) may explain some voting. Likely explains the low turnout for the Dems at least.<br/><br/>The conspiracy theory side is a major problem. I have a few pakeha friends who have gone down that well and it is not possible to get them out. They choose to be misinformed and surround themselves with people who reinforce their beliefs. Especially in their church, spiritual group or sometimes self help/alt-health internet groups.<br/><br/>All that is to say I don’t think it’s possible for the Dems (or Labour) to counteract the conspiracy theory issue. 2024-11-07T07:08:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2uappx04uvvtldlz969e06rhc875gfptw5seg5hp5z7wv0fna50qzyqpn7rzhazcleewmq4rlwkpjn5pdrukk0uxjgwjm4mxdzph5r2ttjglf00w Nice weather over the weekend (despite the forecast) gave us a productive couple of days in the garden.<br/><br/>Mowing lawns, weeding, planting vegetables as well as a blackberry vine and a grape.<br/><br/>I only had a short time at the community garden so will have to go one afternoon after work this week.<br/><br/>#gardening #spring 2024-09-29T22:33:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf8wm43ngx78m46ut5q9kc2eag44qsprp25wnep2u0kmyp5agnzaszyqpn7rzhazcleewmq4rlwkpjn5pdrukk0uxjgwjm4mxdzph5r2ttjt6el5h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq25uqsjz9q66rcgkhsz3cfxj5azrdrud38865f95wmsqw47sww5c6l0hw8'>nevent1q…0hw8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>no I don’t believe she is/will do anything other than give platitudes.
