They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

So I googled the line of poetry that lives rent free in my head ‘Row by row demure they sit, in soul subduing grey’ Google says I’ve confused the ‘very demure’ meme, and there are no other possibilities

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I was one of, I suspect, many who wrote to senior Labour MPs asking ‘Please make it clear to the community that Labour will reverse this decision immediately upon winning office next year.’ Let’s just say I recognised prevarication when I saw it. UK Labour did exactly the same weasel words

If any NZ Labour MPs, or candidates, are seeing this - nah, it's not good enough for your leader to adopt a fence position while our community is under threat even if you've all been given the go to say "what we actually mean is". He's a leader, if he isn't leading, he's losing.

OK, so the very definition of stupid is doing the same things, and expecting a different result. So if you make tens of thousands redundant, and they either become unemployed or leave the country two things happen. They don't spend money in the rest of the economy, and they don't pay tax

$10.9 million divided by 8 charter schools is $1.362 million per school.
Or about $25.5k per student.
State schools are 9k per student.

The number of enrolments had been kept under wraps after the agency told the privately-run, state-funded schools not to reveal their numbers while still setting up.

Why is it "frankly disgusting" for parents and schools to stand up for what THEY believe is right for their tamariki? Why is the PM allowing his MPs to spread anti-worker, anti-Te Tiriti disinformation on social media?
