Moa Point shows why critical infrastructure shouldn’t be outsourced OPINION: Rongotai MP Julie Anne Genter argues Wellington’s sewage collapse is the predictable result of decades‑old privatisation models.

If we can’t afford to have the expertise in our councils to operate critical infrastructure, how can we pay someone else to do it?

To call the government’s idea of an LNG terminal a stupid idea is an insult to actual real life stupid ideas. It makes zero economic sense now, and it will make even less economic sense every year hereafter

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

When New START expires at midnight, nothing can legally stop the Trump regime from dramatically increasing the number of operationally deployed nuclear weapons, especially on ICBMs and SLBMs. Within months, it could easily surge the number of such warheads by uploading MIRVs from the reserve force.

Senator Wyden from Oregon expresses “deep concerns about CIA activities”:

"These practices must end now."

Damn, how is Bad Bunny possibly going to compete with this??? 😂

Benito's reaction in video form

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: “ICE Out”

Mans on top of all his portfolios

has Thiel's inclusion in the files had *any* significant coverage in NZ yet? Certainly not in the last 6 months as far as I've seen. Pretty bizarre state of affairs for NZ newsrooms.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Again - just asking.

How can FIFA justify holding World Cup games in this America?

Nat politicised every extreme weather tragedy by defunding in the first place. #nzpol

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. “That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

Not could. Have.

"I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him."

she means slave catchers

This post calling Noem her friend is still up on Judith Collins facebook by the way, and there really aren't ANY good reasons at this point as to why NZ media aren't constantly pressuring her about it

NRA crowd:

The term martyr means “witness.” The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

That Europe has not passed serous sanctions on us by now is both a moral and policy failure.

For the love of Honey Nut Cheerios, at least ban Trump and his entire cabinet and staff from entering the EU!

National guard to control protests but not ICE.

They protect power not the people.
