Wellington, New Zealand
A New Zealand Māori leader who was ejected from parliament this week for refusing to wear a necktie in the chamber said forcing him to a Western dress code was a breach of his rights and an attempt to suppress indigenous culture.

Speaker Trevor Mallard twice prevented Rawiri Waititi from asking questions in the debating chamber on Tuesday, insisting that MPs could only ask a question if they were wearing a tie.

Waititi, 40, who became an MP for the first time in the election last October, was wearing a taonga, a Māori greenstone pendant, instead.

When Waititi continued with his question after being stopped a second time, Mallard ordered him to leave.
"It's not about ties, it's about cultural identity, mate," Waititi said as he exited the chamber.

Hoft joins a list of other right-wing accounts that have recently been banned for promoting falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election. The list notably includes Former President Donald Trump and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, among others.

Twitter's civic integrity policy states: "You may not use Twitter's services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes." Gateway Pundit has been promoting falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election, both on Twitter and directly on its website, alleging voter fraud and voter irregularities. On Biden's Inauguration Day, the website's top headline falsely claimed the election had been "stolen" from Trump.

I am a BECU (Boeing Employee Credit Union) KEXP cardholder.

Looks like a cassette tape and for every purchase I and others make BECU donates a penny.

The pennies have rolled up to a large donation for a beloved station here in SeattlE, KEXP.

YAY!
