This disgusting debacle in the Police reminds us all of how the 'boys' network in all organisations has protected predators for centuries, and clearly still is.

I just don't understand why people think stats from Treasury are more meaningful about the state of our economy than if workers can afford to live. Including Nicola Willis and many of those who voted for this
Nicola Willis wants to scrap 24 of the 71 procurement rules for government contracts, including the requirement to pay the living wage.
This government just doesn't care about workers.

RFK says fluoride is toxic, but in 2011 Calgary took fluoride out of drinking water, and the number of children receiving IV antibiotics for dental infections at Alberta Children’s Hospital increased by 700% from 2011 to 2018. Calgary is now bringing back fluoride.

This city took fluoride out of the water. Now it’s putting it back in
Calgary, which has endured ten years of worsening dental health and is reversing its decision, is a cautionary tale for Robert F Kennedy Jr

seems very bad that the richest person on Earth bought an election, thus installing his own personal fascist puppet, unilaterally conducts foreign policy violating Logan Act, owns a massive engine of fash disinfo, and has access to natsec secrets while regularly violating terms of security clearance
"Elon Musk is backing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)," writes @politico.com, "The AfD is surging despite its growing radicalism and persistent warnings from mainstream leaders that it is an extremist, even Nazi, party." www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:
If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

Worth a watch. We in NZ are feeling the effects of the 'banality of crazy'. Politicians all over the world are using Trump tactics and the media has helped amplify this. Now it's basically too late as 'good' journalism is not breaking through to our youth. Tik tok is.
