it's baffling to me that certain people expect to be taken seriously in historical discussion when they argue that "africans sold africans" or "natives were killing natives" in the precolonial & colonial era.

A tiriti-led political system would look after our leaders better.

I really agree with Tina Ngata that Māori PM would be subjected to even more vicious abuse than Ardern has suffered, system is designed for status quo not justice and the level of far right racism misogyny hate is ugly, don’t look to Parliament to fix this we have to take it on

bell hooks: "We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.”

Nui rawa te aroha ki ēra whanau nō Kahungunu, Wairoa, Tairawhiti me Ngāti Porou e noho ki waenganui i taua pōhiri, rongo ana ki ngā tautohetohe o ētahi atu iwi, me te whakaaro tonu ki wā rātou ake taumahatanga o te wā. Some of them have no land above water to fight over anymore

Although the implosion of OceanGate’s Titan was heard from the very beginning and death was certain, resources were still used to rescue those on board. When it’s migrants who may very well survive, resources suddenly become scarce. The wretched of the earth are not worth saving.

“Ending division by race” and the “We are all one” rhetoric is a form of cultural erasure and a perpetuation of the colonising agenda. Not only does it ignore the very existence of indigenous people and the fact that this country’s founding document is premised on PARTNERSHIP -

So many people saying “its important that you vote, have your voice, it doesn’t matter who you are voting for… just vote”. Well. No. It does matter who you vote for. For Māori, for Pacific Nations, for Takatāpui/LGBTQI+, for people struggling on inadequate incomes or benefits

The obsession with "self-care" during a GENOCIDE is deeply COLONIAL. Why do you think they taught you that?

israel’s genocide of palestinians has exposed the deep, racist rot in too many of you

'We have been subject to unrelenting colonisation, it changes it's form - we've had to relitigate arguments around race we thought we'd won. Don't take it for granted - your space is not secure.' - Linda Tuhiwai Smith

Rawiri Waititi has posted what he says is a leaked Govt document showing the proposed new Treaty principles. If accurate this would be a huge fight - redefines chieftainship/te tino rangatiratanga as something for “all New Zealanders”.

Let Matike Mai o Aotearoa and Te Tiriti be at the top of the agenda tomorrow. Truly no more time to be mucking around #huiaamotu
