MURDER
In J. Ross' video, he changes his phone from his R to his L hand, prepping for something, as he walks round the front of the car.
In another video he draws his gun as she reverses to leave.
ICE have fired 16 x in the last yr, killed 4.
32 people have died in ICE custody.
Over immigration.
Now this is news and actual progress 👇
Definitely not a place you want to move to.
Looks like I'm gonna be mayor. 500 special votes to count and I'm expecting them to widen my lead.
Whakatāne has a small population and voted yes by a wide margin. I'm sure sure that there are simple answers to where voted how.
Yes I saw an analysis that said that. Haven't checked myself, but I agree that it is useful to understand that.
MĀORI WARDS
40% of areas chose to keep Māori wards. Some by a wide margin.
A better result than I expected, given the demographics and embedded racism in our country.
In areas that lost, I'd love to know whether the numbers have improved since any previous referendum.
Aotearoa on the move.
TBH this is much better than I expected, given the demographics and embedded racism in our country. 40% of areas chose to keep Māori wards.
In areas that lost, I'd love to know whether the numbers have improved since any previous referendum on it.
so many levels of stupidity
Police carried out an unlawful program of mass surveillance for years. They created a database of thousands of photos of Māori children who were under no suspicion. Police have failed over and over to meet deadlines to delete the photos. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
I love Judaism. I love the teachings of the sages, the profound reasoning in Mishnah and Midrash. I love the wisdom of the ancient Rabbis like Hillel & Gamaliel, & the joyful worship of the Baal Shem Tov. I love the preeminence of ethics and humanitarianism within Judaism.
Israel is not Judaism.
James Coussey surveillance picture
This is a story about spies. Though they are highly trained, they don’t work for an intelligence agency. They work for paying clients.
One target was James Coussey. He'd been a criminal prosecutor. Why were they after him? My new @theguardian.com investigation (1/8)
Orange jumpsuit, or orange wig?
lots of people now think that Mandela was a pacifist. The founder of Umkhonto We Sizwe lol
1. Researching this week’s column, I felt that I understood at last just why, on so many issues – benefits, Gaza, environmental and planning laws, anti-protest laws, bank deregulation, fiscal rules etc - Labour is out-Torying the Tories. Why it has become so cruel, so destructive and so spineless. 🧵
I'm not here much & only recently active. The genocide in Gaza has been acute during that time, so it's been a focus. Point is, I'm not a partisan in a propaganda war. I started off very pro-Israel, before evidence about what was happening in the Occupied Territories became overwhelming
not if it's actual scholarship rather than right wing propaganda. I've provided real evidence from multiple independent or Jewish sources.
I read as far as I could before it wanted me to sign up. It was a weak defence to that point. It'll take the view of the actual genocide expert thanks.
I have posted on socmed about Ukraine, women in Iran, US in the middle east, the Uyghurs & Tibetans, Western Papua, Western Sahara etc.
But the west isn't funding those to the tune of billions of dollars a year
Neither is the scale comparable.
Unlike you I condemn all war crimes, not just my enemies
you're joking surely?
You're putting an op ed by a pro-Israel right wing US think tank up against a number of legal analyses by numerous distinguished genocide scholars, including Israeli ones?
C'mon now.
Anyone who truly wants governance and politics done well owes thanks to @misswhanau.bsky.social for exposing dirty politics + misogyny + bullying. We need to know who we are dealing with. Questioning HER motives is sooooo revealing.
1. OP was talking about Arab countries around Palestine, so not sure yr point
2. I'd call Oct 7 an atrocity & a war crime.
3. Genocide scholars, incl. Israeli ones, are saying that Israel is, in fact, committing genocide. Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la" changes nothing
It is hard to understand. Many holocaust survivors are equally bewildered.
As to your 1st point - that's ironic from a guy who says that almost every international human right org, media channel and intergovernmental organ is wrong and only the IDF is trustworthy.
Cognitive dissonance is real.
The thread was about IDF firing on people waiting for food aid. As testified by IDF soldiers.
That's not even talking about the execution of bound aid workers.
Of course you find it hard to admit what is in front of your eyes. It would be too much to bear.
