Instead we have no rail enabled ferries, the two we have are clunky as fuck, and there will be no replacement ferries until 2029 at the earliest.

It seems that the USA will not hold pedophiles accountable and rich assholes have free rein.
Question is: how do we in other countries feel about that? We should start boycotting. And pressuring our governments to boycott the USA.

If you're seeing the news that some ICE agents are being removed from Minnesota, it's all talk.
There are still over 2k ICE agents here causing chaos, ripping apart families and communities, detaining anybody they want.

I know 3k agents qualified as the largest number deployed anywhere in the US... But I thought that was true of 1.5k when we hit that, & there's still >2k free to terrorize us.
Plus, that only factors MN.
Those ~700 still have jobs & will be sent SOMEwhere to occupy The People, which still isn't ok.

This is a political stunt. There are still over 2000 agents actively terrorizing our communities.

#nzpol New unemployment data from Stats NZ today, showing the impact of an economy that isn't working. An additional 5,000 people became unemployed during the quarter, rising to levels last seen in 2015. 164,000 people are now unemployed, up 39,000 in just 2 years. A🧵

NZ has fallen into a 'crisis and response' pattern on climate disaster, experts say. Billions have been spent on storm recovery since 2023, while key climate adaptation funding and planning tools have been cut.

if everyone had access to a living wage, had free and wraparound healthcare, and a safe and dry/warm place to live, many of the problems we face now as a society would disappear. And it would be cheaper to fund than privitised prisons

Let's be transparent. 'Preventable deaths' happened because the economy was valued by decision makers as more important than a specific kind of person - and these were typically older, sicker, browner and poorer people.
