"[For Luxon] To come to Christchurch and tell his audience that hatred has “absolutely no place in New Zealand” the day after the city was host to a public talk on “Race Marxism” and the LGBT+ community experienced another attack, actually borders on offensive. www.feijoadispatch.nz/p/christchur...

UPDATE: Lawyer for govt, Drew Ensign, cited 'grave national security issue' in declining to discuss current state of the deportations in a public hearing, so judge took it private. But looks like one El Salvador-bound flight took off during a break in the hearing www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

One bit of political 'optics' the media have never cared about is how kind the media are to the second best funded political party in New Zealand no matter how low their poll numbers were or how unpopular/harmful their policies are or how many crimes they commit. Not a good look. =/

Why does this government seem keep removing protections like this? Let alone implementing the reintroduction of the kind of 'youth facilities' that led to some of the worst offending in NZ history. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

BREAKING: Trump illegally invokes the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants “deemed” to be members of a criminal gang, claiming extreme powers to do so without due process. Courts should reject this abusive invocation of a law intended for wartime.

The Alien Enemies Act proclamation is out. Obviously this is an illegal invocation of a wartime authority for peacetime immigration enforcement. Many thoughts to come, but the first is that they messed up the drafting for what they're trying to accomplish. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I really need for people to see that the whole cycle of the last few years-- the dangers of the left hysterically exaggerated ("cancel culture") in order to give cover to, sand the rough edges off, distract attention from, the advance of fascism --is a template, a script that's been run repeatedly.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Anyone in NZ media covering Tim Jago anymore? Anyone drawn the link and put pressure on David Seymour and the ACT Party for what they knew, when they knew it and the evidentially unsafe culture within the Party? Why aren't journos chasing Seymour down the halls on this one?

Unless you have no way of avoiding travel into the United States, you should not be traveling into the United States right now. I can't offer much concrete support, but if you can't avoid travel to GDC and you're anxious about it, feel free to DM me to rant, vent, rage, or chat.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

The only reason this hasn’t also been treated like an alarming constitutional crisis concerning free speech is because people in positions of influence in the media, business, and politics at least tacitly agree with the aims of this movement.
