Democrats in the United States Congress must show they are serious about fighting back and need to take a lesson from the legislators in New Zealand who refuse to let #Parliament ignore their voices. To paraphrase MTV "It's time to stop being polite and start being real" #RESIST

"#NewZealand MPs who performed #haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment

#TePātiMāori co-leaders and youngest member to be temporarily suspended from #parliament after performance protesting controversial bill"

The bill in question (the #TreatyPrinciplesBill) wanted to reinterpret the #TreatyOfWaitangi (1840), which upholds #Māori rights

The bill was defeated

I think the proper response to a bullshit punishment for protecting #MāoriRights is a lot more hakas

I had an incredible encounter with this rare Fiordland crested penguin on the West Coast, a moment I’ll never forget.
These elusive penguins are one of the world’s rarest, and facing threats from habitat loss, predators, and climate change. Encounters like this remind me why protecting New Zealand’s fragile coastal ecosystems is so important to me.

A Fiordland crested penguin stands upright on rugged, mussel-covered coastal rocks with the ocean surf in the background. Its yellow eyebrow-like crests and wet feathers are visible, showing it has just emerged from the sea. The setting is wild and remote, typical of New Zealand’s West Coast.

The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea 🦜

Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
Let’s protect what’s left.
