And the western world, the international rules based order just sits on its fucking hands.
The U.N is paralysed by the U.S Veto. Israel shows no sign of restraint, never has, knows that no one will step in. It's all a sham. In the face of all of it I feel so helpless....

Joe Biden leaves several legacies, good and bad. But the most tangible and lasting is this.
It's the result of his disgraceful, enduring support for #genocide: the literal wiping of a people and their built environment off the map.
Whatever else he did, this will forever be attached to his name.

Nicola Willis loves Ruth Richardson's austerity strategy. Now she has a recession to match the one deepened by the 1991 'Mother of All Budgets'. However, Willis' one-time boss, Bill English, did the exact opposite & swore off austerity from 2008-11. Luckily. thekaka.substack.com/p/austerity-...

Christopher luxon; What a jellyfish of a man. A poor leader who can't own what he brought in to the national debate.
An empty shirt with zero political instincts and zero leadership qualities.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon will not attend Waitangi at all next year www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

So it turns out $900m is > $551m. And Windows 2012 is ok for Health NZ. And defunding a charity wrapped around 4k vulnerable children is ok. Here's what happens when a Government unnecessarily panics about a non-existent 'Budget Crisis'. When hast makes waste. thekaka.substack.com/p/when-haste...
When haste makes waste & is risky, dangerous & mean
Govt set to spend double on new ferries; Govt halves health IT spending, leaving hospitals on unsupported Windows 2012; 4,000 vulnerable kids’ future at risk after Govt abruptly cancels contract

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel.

We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration.

We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.

I wonder if we'll ever see this monster face justice? I hope so.
