here in NZ, when a woman makes a reliable complaint of serious sexual abuse against a very senior police officer & that man is found to indeed be very bad, we eventually whisper NAUGHTY BOY very softly then just prosecute the woman for sending too many emails about it

Police press on with prosecution of Jevon McSkimming accuser 'Ms Z'

How Many Members Does Antifa Have? Where Is Its Headquarters? The FBI Has No Answers.
Despite saying that antifa is the biggest U.S. domestic threat, the FBI couldn’t explain how the movement is a “terror organization” — or an organization at all.

Going Through Old Photos @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social Poetry Workshop.

I wonder if that is why Granddad organised the variety of entertainment for the veterans club, and why my sister taught herself to sing too.

#poetry #poem
Me, my sister, my brother‑in‑law, and Granddad were going through the old photos in The Headlands pub. That is Pap’s photo, once in the museum exhibition, as the founder of the Northampton Veterans Social Club. The sign beside it mentions Nan, Betty Waterfield, married in the 1950s, as well as Granddad’s varied career throughout his life: railway engine cleaner, window cleaner. After Betty died, when he was in the garden once, he said a white butterfly would not leave him alone, hovering around his face. Betty was a singer, I already knew. “Can you sing?” he asked me. “A bit,” I replied. “It is all right to say if you cannot.” “I cannot, and I say it,” said my brother‑in‑law. I wonder if that is why Granddad organised the variety of entertainment for the veterans club, and why my sister taught herself to sing too. by Kay Medway

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”

And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

In court filings, migrants have said in sworn statements that they’ve been put in the WRAP for “unruly” behavior like asking to speak to their attorney.

They did the same with the new electric, purpose-built, future-proofed, ferries.

And with the planned, future-proofed, water management system.

And with... well, everything that would have served all of Aotearoa and not just them and theirs.

If you’re terrified of becoming a minority, you’re admitting you know exactly how this system treats minorities.

IREX was ditched by Nicola Willis MP because of apparent cost blow outs leaving us with the TEMU option...

So Roads of National Significance are facing even bigger blow outs for projects that have a smaller Benefit Cost Ratio than IREX are not facing the same ditching or downscaling because?

Latest estimates put the cost at 23 times that of Dunedin Hospital's rebuild - but why has the bill gone up so much?
