it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen

If mass surveillance is happening to us then the most basic prerequisite should surely be complete public transparency about where, when and to what extent. This 'commercial sensitivity' shit isn't good enough.

Which again raises the question: if IPCA findings are ignored, and never result in any change, what purpose does it serve, other than to give a false and fraudulent impression of "accountability"?

90% of articles about ACT Party policy are just entirely PR for ACT and radical neoliberalism. It's actually insane how FUCKING BOUGHT our media is.

It’s so bizarre how Te Pāti Māori and the Greens are continually positioned by pundits as “radicals”when the impact of their time in coalition govts are things like whānau ora and insulated houses.
Meanwhile Act is treated like they are reasonable for wanting to re-write a founding document.

The government has promised new anti-stalking laws. But as this horrifying story illustrates (CW for threatened violence), this probably won't change much.
Police and IPCA are not taking the crime seriously or using the laws they already have.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Reminder that the NZ Herald was founded to advocate for the war against Māori during the New Zealand Wars. In the 160+ years it has existed - its stance hasn't changed.
Watch as NZME marshals its stable of conservative mouthpieces to frame Act and David Seymour as the reasonable side, as they strip indigenous rights away and change the founding document of this country. Don’t even need to take Hobson’s Pledge money, they’ll do it for free.
