Ireland. Dublin. 2023. Women are unable to meet because such a strong Garda presence is required. Women want to speak about women’s rights, about the importance for women of single-sex spaces, sports and prisons, about the impact of gender identity on their lives. #LetWomenSpeak
I was going to attend this event. Anyone attending had to muster courage. The lies being told about Kellie Jay Keen resulted in the justification of extreme violence at an event in #Auckland New Zealand last week. Police said KJK was lucky to get away from the event alive. 2/8 ImageImage
One woman in her 70s who attended the Auckland event was head-butted and punched in the head - it was found later that she had, as a result, a fractured skull. Another woman had her foot broken. Stomp Terfs had been one of the slogans. 3/8 Image

Wow just wow! Sheer callous disregard for attacks upon Kellie-Jay Keen at #Auckland! @rainbowgreens & other Greens *both sides of border* celebrating use of tomato soup as projectile, how else to interpret? Rotten culture, & there was I seeking condemnation from @scottishgreens Rainbow Greens of Scottish Greens referencing use of tomato
Green Party member making explicit the obvious connection, "Are these to throw on TERFs?"

Green parties both sides of border must condemn these incitements to violence & betrayal of Green values of freedom of expression shared equally by women now! Green party member
This image might be clearer.

Imagine being someone whose "activism" is to enable total lies ALL over the Australian & NZ media about the political affiliations of a woman who's spoken out & is encouraging other women to speak about their OWN legal rights being dismantled, to the point that the hatred
against her is so frenzied she gets scissors held to her throat in public and another 70 year old woman gets punched in the face by a violent man. You should all be done for incitement. You still haven't told us what it is you imagine she and the other women are saying
and what is "right wing" about it, let alone "fascist". Imagine being one of the many self righteous politicians or journalists or self identifying "leftie activist singers" who has been smugly cheering this shit on.

According to media reports, a poisonous chemical was released on Thursday (February 11th) in a chemical plant in the Penrose district of Auckland, on the North Island of New Zealand. Because the chemical ended up in the sewage system,
New Zealand authorities are warning against swimming in the beach areas of Māngere Bridge, Taumanu East, Taumanu Central, Taumanu West and Onehunga within 5km of a stormwater drain which carried 5000 litres of poisonous methyl methacrylate from Penrose to Manukau Harbour.

Two key points:

1/ "Political will is the key factor in developing sustainable mobility policies, but this political will must manifest in decisions regarding where to build infrastructure and how to manage the mobility system."
2/ "From a technical point of view, the knowledge needed to make things happen already exists, and there is no need to wait. "
Result:

"The number of cycling trips on a working day increased from approximately 13,000 to a peak of 72,000 — a 452 percent increase — in just three years. "

seeing as we can't talk about other things on here today 😬 & given that I've spent the past week poring over the #TeTārukeāTāwhiri: #Auckland's #Climate Plan text again, I thought you might be interested in a few key parts of the Plan that are often overlooked.
1/x
👏👍🎉🌏💪
first off, why Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri?
a gift from the mana whenua of Tāmaki, this cultural narrative is deeply emebedded in this place, but critically "...calls for a change in our response, from a human-centred approach to an ecological-centred approach..." 2/x
Mana Whenua, through the Kaitiki Forum, have played a key role in developing our #ClimateAction response, drawing together wisdom & knowledge of Tāmaki w/ the understanding that living systems & #whakapapa relationships are key to #wellbeing, #sustainability & #resilience. 3/x

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.
(The interview features the idea of a dedicated #Quarantine building - that would actually help, I guess)...
"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).
Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"
kreis-vg.de Image
In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

(Overlooked that myself, hence deleted earlier tweet)

People from #Gütersloh district may have to scrap all their holiday plans anyway...

An official #Lockdown is just being announced for the entire district.
(for one week, as of now)

Biker crew Black Power,which took name from the civil rights movement & whose members r mostly Maori (indigenous people of #NewZealand) honoured victims of #ChristChurchMassacre by performing Haka(ceremonial dance). White supremacy’s earliest victims honouring its latest victims
“That (white power extremism) has been here for years, it’s been here for decades,” a leader of Black Power who did not want to be named told the Courier Mail outside the Linwood mosque. Here’s the full Haka msn.com/en-us/video/sp… #ChristChurchMosqueMassacre
Here a lone man performs Haka, which is not just a “war dance” but is performed at weddings,funerals & other significant occasions for Maori culture. I’m deeply moved by these Haka which so poignantly capture grief and rage. #ChristchurchMosqueMassacre
