I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

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.

Don't forget, Putin initially in 2022 sent his tanks to capture Kyiv, not Donetsk. To hope that his war against Ukraine will stop in Donbas is naive.

New Zealand's unwillingness to invest properly in the people who literally put out fires is absurd and weird.
Fires are terrible, they absolutely must be put out, the people who do that dangerous and unpleasant work should be paid extremely well.
This isn't hard people.

This is outrageous and vindictive from NZ Police!
Her lawyer said,
"Instead of being heard, she was dismissed and ultimately prosecuted for speaking out and raising her concerns."

Despicable, firstly because she had few options but she persisted & imo they’re persecuting her for the temerity & secondly, the police refuse to use the legislation they’re using against her to prosecute the men who digitally harass/abuse women.
They only use it to protect systems/abusers. #nzpol

Australia has had solar subsidies for so long that some of my Aussie colleagues are eligible for a second round of upgrades because it's been ten years.
NZ meanwhile, we can't have nice things. It might upset the status quo.

No, sorry, I mean, fucking Christ, how many nurses is that we could have kept in ANZ? How many radiologists/radiographers is it? Enough to clear the eight-month wait list for a basic CT?
As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?
