Wonderful observations of life in Aoteoroa New Zealand.

At least Aussie are doing something. Unlike our useless lot.

He is apparently with Olga.
He lied to you and he lied to me.

Epstein:

No one will lie to you and get away with it from me. No one. Whoops is correct.

Unimaginable cruelty.

Pam Bondi is trying to shake down Minnesota for its voter roll data. And when the federal government demands voters' most sensitive info, it’s worth asking why—and what comes next.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

We should withdraw our ambassador to Washington. This is emperialism at its worse and no doubt our useless government will not object.

Might be Washington being hit one day the way Trump is behaving. What is the difference between this action and Putin invading Ukraine?

Our Prime Minister Luxon:

"..get off the couch, stop playing PlayStation and go find a job"
"If you can work, you should."

I keep thinking about how important this is, and who benefits from the narrative that only a guy named Edward can be the hero who intervened to protect Jewish lives, not a guy named Ahmed
