Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

after the raupatu the land was surveyed off. this trig station stands on an old pa site on my friend's land, near lake ngaroto. a plaque attached reads ' warning, it is an offence to interfere with this marker' in english and te reo. seymour would make it an offense to learn our history

a geodetic trig station. often placed in a conspicuous spot to enable sightlines, this one (A402) stands atop an old pa site - Pa Te Rangi, in fact. the enigmatic abstract sculpture uenuku was found in the adjacent lake, ngaroto. i like to think it stood here once.

As the current national administration seeks to prop up coal -- a highly polluting and uneconomic technology of the past -- the global economy and investors are sending a very different signal about where the future of energy is headed:

Renewables overtake coal as global electricity leader

It's the first time sources like wind and solar generated more power than coal over a six-month period.

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Remember kids, the only way Disney executives will learn the error of their fascist-felching ways is when every bottom line in the Walt Disney Company (including the parks, resorts and cruise line division) crashes hard enough to take their stock options and performance bonuses with them.

The hyper normalization of extrajudicial murder is accelerating within the infrastructure of the military that is quite quite bad news for when the full weight of the military is turned inward over the coming weeks and months.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean.

Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified.

No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing.

President Trump is asserting a license to kill outside of the law. 1/n

On my Orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics, and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans. The strike killed 3 male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel, which was in international waters. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!

Really interesting to see this come up – I've talked directly to businesspeople about it. While ministers were high-fiving each other for trashing the systems they inherited from the previous govt, businesses that had to trade in the real economy were paralysed by the uncertainty of a policy vacuum.
