would love to turn people on to nz on screen, a free archive of new zealand and māori content with over 4500 titles!

the site is accessible in both english and te reo, and it includes over 500 films, 3000 tv series & specials, 2000 documentaries, as well as history series & specials, chat shows, musicals, lgbtq+ content, standup, children's shows, historic news & sports, and more :)

new zealand and māori filmmaking & content, particularly from before the late 2000s, can be exceptionally hard to track down and haven't been given the archival attention they deserve, so this is an amazing resource!

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

M (name redacted) – The results of the election are in: Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. I know these results create fear for many, particularly those whose communities have been most targeted and threatened by the President-elect's extreme rhetoric and policy proposals. If President-elect Trump comes for our communities, he's gotta get past all of us. President-elect Trump has been crystal clear about his plans to deport one million immigrants every year and target the enemy within – which, for Trump, means anyone who disagrees with him. He is dead serious about seeking retribution against his political opponents and deploying federal law enforcement to shut down protests and muzzle dissent. Guided by Project 2025, we are sure he will try to make good on those promises.

He and the administration officials he will put in place will work to attack the rights of LGBTQ people, implement archaic and cruel immigration policies, undermine press freedoms, and make it harder for Americans to vote. It is not hyperbolic to say that this president presents a clear and present danger to our democracy. But here at the ACLU, we're clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation. We're done with the hand wringing. We won't be admiring this problem. Instead, we are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office. The fact is, we're familiar with fighting a Trump White House. One week into Trump's first presidency, we were the first organization to challenge his Muslim ban. And when the administration sought to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census, the ACLU took that fight to the Supreme Court and won. It was our litigation that stopped the inhumane practice of separating immigrant families at the border.

The ACLU filed 434 legal actions against the first Trump administration's illegal and cruel actions – and we are prepared to fight again with the organization's full firepower. There is not a doubt in my mind that the ACLU is ready to meet this moment: We have a detailed playbook that breaks down exactly how to fight Trump's Project 2025 agenda. We have plans in place to litigate, legislate, and mobilize for reproductive freedom, immigrants' rights, LGBTQ rights, racial justice, and all civil rights and liberties – in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets. We have a nationwide network of affiliates that uniquely enables us to take our fights local and build firewalls against the worst of Trump's policies in every state across America.

M (name redacted), here at the ACLU, we play the long game. We've been around for 105 years. We've seen 19 presidents come and go. With your support, we will vigorously defend your right to protest and speak against our government. Especially when that government attacks our civil liberties and civil rights. The next four years will be challenging, but we'll be ready on day one. You can count on it. We're counting on you, too. In solidarity, Anthony Romero Pronouns: He, him, his ACLU Executive Director

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

This is cultural genocide. The Canadian government has removed being born in the state of Palestine as an option on passport renewal process - and people are expected to accept being born stateless moving forward. This is anti-Palestinian racism. https://t.co/H4bAHO4Z5H

Where do I even begin? I'm appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence... this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP's. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.

For anyone reading this on or after February 26th, 2024 -here is more information/updates:

Palestine exists for a select few Canadians

Canada has never allowed Palestine to be listed as the country of birth for anyone born after 1948 because Palestine is not technically a co
