ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

Oops I did it again.
I really don't need two short stories on the go today but here we are.
@foxylustygrover.bsky.social

Men are so easy. Flash them a grin, lean forward so they can enjoy the view a little better and you’ve got them. Well, the type of men that we’re going after, anyway. They either want to see if they really are more than a handful or slide their dick between them. 10 minutes is the longest it’s taken for one of them to suggest finding somewhere more private to indulge their fantasies. They always think it’s their idea.
Of course they do.
What happens after that is up to them. If they respect the no, then they get another chance at life. If they don’t and they prove their guilt, well, fate sometimes needs an agent. Or two.

Poll: Controversial pay equity changes could cost coalition the 2026 election

The survey, released by the Public Service Association and the Council of Trade Unions, found that more than a quarter of voters who backed the coalition parties in 2023 opposed the reforms.

But instead of leaving the conversation with nothing more than a partisan jab, Willis was happy to talk about the poll at quite a bit more length than other Government MPs, who offered the usual bromides about “tough times” and not paying any attention to a single poll.

“I'd like to see us a lot higher. The reason I'd like to see us a lot higher is because I believe that the policies that we as a party wish to pursue are going to be better for New Zealand, not just in the short term, but for the kind of New Zealand that we want to see in the future.”

She then launched into a list of broad appeal goals of hers, with language a million miles away from the usual prickly defensiveness practised by the Prime Minister.

“I want to see a New Zealand where more kids are learning to write and do maths - you need structured literacy and numeracy for that, you need our Government's reforms. I want to see a New Zealand where actually it's not just our ag sector growing, it's our tech sector growing. We need stable economic management for that to occur. I want to see overseas investment coming in to create jobs. You need our Government to get that,” Willis said.

“I think our party represents the values of most New Zealanders, and we need to be able to pursue our maximum policy agenda for New Zealand to do well in the world.”

There was nothing in this mini-speech, delivered just after the news that the Reserve Bank was cutting the Official Cash Rate by 50 basis points, that you could read as out and out disloyalty.

But after weeks of Luxon talking of “the two speed” economy, his deputy finally seemed to find the second speed he so struggles to shift into himself.

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

I was an 18 year old on the benefit. I’d crashed out of school with 4 school cert subjects, and living away from home. I was applying for any admin job I could, and sent myself on a computer course to certify skills I already had.
I needed a leg up, a hand from up the ladder, not a push backwards.
