Kilmar Garcia and many others who have committed no hard crimes have minor children. Trump is taking their fathers from them and disappearing them to some prison in Africa where they'll never see their families ever again.

this should immediately have a commentator REMOVED from their roles, instead it’s a strong signal of just how decrepit and servile to power nz media is

It is worth noting that this is a pattern amongst the likes of media, who inevitably paint a woman who has laid harassment, assault, rape, etc allegations against men as somehow less than pure & innocent, thus casting aspersions on her validity, with whatever denials that this is what they're doing.
It bears remembering that this woman, according to the IPCA report, sent at least 36 emails to media outlets, presumaby including NZME, as well as the PM, Police Minister, and police command in Dec 2023 & Jan 2024, and they did fuck-all about it too

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: The woman in the Jevon McSkimming saga wasn't innocent here
So it turns out the woman with whom Jevon McSkimming had an affair, whose warnings police ignored and who police charged instead of investigating McSkimmin

Ignoring 98% of submissions?!

I submitted against it.
Coup. The word is coup.
There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

I've had a lot to do with cops over the years and I can count the good ones on one hand. Moving to a rural area where everyone knows everyone has helped as that's where I've met two on my list.
Mark Mitchell on RNZ Morning Report saying "just a few bad apples, rest of the Police are all goods". But the IPCA doesn't really seem to agree with this assessment?

"These are the same type of people that raided Mar-a-Lago and found nothing."

The SCI found in Mar-a-Lago was so sensitive the DOJ had to bring in people just to review it because they couldn't and it was information that likely cost Foreign Service Officers at CIA their lives.

The Olympics had allowed trans women to compete since the 2004 games.

Out of 10s of thousands of competitors, only one trans woman ever qualified. She came last.

Zero medals. Zero.

Zero.

Saw something horrid I’ve never seen before in a Chch CBD crowd: late teen/early 20s going through a Colombo St rubbish bin, assessing food scraps in takeaway boxes, then selecting an opened can of Coke and drinking it.

Shame, shame, shame on all this fucking government coalition.

Kind of disappointed in Sonic. I'm sure they have fewer locations than Subway, yet a lot more employees needing food assistance. Interesting that there are no gas station chains on these lists. For the most part, it's grocery/fast food.
