We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Is it true that … cutting out carbs helps you lose weight?

Weight loss is about consuming fewer calories than you burn, and reducing your intake of refined carbohydrates can play a part in that

I’m sick of RW govts trying to separate “the unions” from their members.

“The unions” can’t take strike actions without balloting members. “The unions” aren’t forcing members to strike; they can’t. Members are voting to strike, because of shite offers from this govt.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blames unions for ongoing strike action

"I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients," Christopher Luxon says.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

The Bear @bearlypolitics.co.uk · 3d

To be fair, the government doesn’t talk nearly enough about the economic fallout from Farage’s pet project, Brexit - either what it’s already cost us or what’s still to come.

In both cases, the answer is pretty much the same: a bit shit.

This feels well overdue.
