Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

Thanks to all the commentators on the absolute outrage of a rightwing attempted terrorist attack in Perth🇦🇺on Monday/mainstream response. The attempt to set off a shrapnel bomb failed to ignite, thank god. It’s all being treated as normal. If he were non-White, the hysteria would dominate. 🤬🤬 #Auspol

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

Pretti’s earlier altercation occurred when he stopped to observe ICE agents running after a family. He blew his whistle & yelled. He was taken down by 5 agents who broke his rib. it's clear that agents are vindictive, trigger-happy, & they’re remembering the faces of anyone who stands up to them.

For all of us that had family abused by priests, brothers & teachers in NZ we all know parents were told at the time , heads, counsellors, teachers - but kids were ignored, stood down, called liars. It’s not just Rowan who should be in the dock, the enablers & reputation savers should be too #nzpol

Spain can do it. Why can't we?

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

This is exceptionally powerful.

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA. We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material. In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights. link.europa.eu/Fh8h84

#GVerse Bravo #London just joined #Minnesota! Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti while opposing Farage. When state violence goes unchecked, the world notices. Solidarity doesn’t stop at borders. 🇬🇧

#nzpol The peewee Health Minister reckons that his vicious health budget cuts have not caused increased costs and exposure for health insurers. 🙄 Tell him he's dreamin' mate. Exhibit A: The health budget cuts...

Reminds me of a very similar bit of training female members of the British secret service were given during WW2: "Don't ask a man who works for their government what's happening. Confidently tell him something you know to be inaccurate, and he will be forced to correct you".

#NZPol An untold fantastic fucking news story.

This will be seen by more people than Melania's movie.

Meanwhile, in NZ, the Trump appeasers in power aka the NZ Govt, have to carefully consider the invitation to be part of Trump's hegemonic Board of Peace bc, you know, they are cowards who cannot face down a bully. #nzpol

No. It's a death squad. Always has been. "ICE's Hidden History of Deadly Shootings by Immigration Officers" share.google/Z4kPkthaF7mY...

My latest article for @forbes.com has just gone live. It's a look at a new survey of over 8500 European city dwellers (spoiler: people are more interested in improved public transport than they are in the robotaxis that are set to arrive in the coming year) www.forbes.com/sites/laurie...

#NZpol There's a social function to them which may not be so readily apparent to more urban-dwelling people too: many function much like a town *meeting place*. And I know this from where Dad lives. Reduced to a counter, removal just destroyed a place *all sorts of people *engaged with each other.

Luxon, alongside Winston Peters and David Seymour, the unholy trinity, did not and will not fix the basics. They’ve demonstrably made things worse. “Inland Revenue data shows there were 58,460 withdrawals for hardship reasons in 2025, 10,000 more than were made for a first home”. #nzpol

US Science after a year of Trump

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Seeing the US government flail in trying to frame these as anything but executions by incompetent trigger happy goons makes me feel like I owe an apology to the FSB morons I mocked for trying to stage an apartment as a Ukrainian terror plot but planting a copy of The Sims III instead of 3 SIM cards.

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

Climate change sucks. The astounding truth is that the NZ Govt plans to make it worse with more cows more coal more cars and more oil

Forecasts to watch for... 49C for Mildura, potential new Victorian record. 48C for Swan Hill, hottest day on record. Current record is 47.5C in 2019. 45C for Melbourne, hottest day since 2009, Black Saturday all-time record of 46.4C. Current state record is 48.8C at Hopetoun in 2009. 3/4

The executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are the latest atrocities by ICE. Dozens of people have died in ICE custody under Trump. 2025 was the agency’s deadliest year in decades. You cannot reform this level of cruelty and lawlessness. Abolish ICE

Tim Cook went to the White House last night for a screening of the Melania documentary. Just hours after someone was murdered by ICE. Remember that the next time you go to buy an Apple service or device.

I knew MN DOC had debunking Greg Bovino's false claims abt the target of the snatch CBP was doing when they murdered Alex Pretti. I didn't realize they created an entire website to debunking DHS lies. mn.gov/doc/about/ne...

This is uncharacteristically clear and on the right side of the issue, for Luxon. '"And the people on the margins with their rhetoric, they need to just frankly keep it to themselves."' #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Huh... who could possibly have predicted this... #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
