New Zealand offers 'unreserved' apology to 200,000 survivors of 'horrific ' abuse in care | New Zealand | The Guardian Historic apology by PM Christopher Luxon comes after landmark report that exposed decades of abuse in state and faith-based care institutionsThe inquiry estimated that of the 655,000 people who went through New Zealand 's care institutions from the 1950s, roughly 200,000 were abused, and said the true number of survivors could be much higher.
New Zealand offers 'unreserved' apology to 200,000 survivors of 'horrific' abuse in care | New Zealand : worldnews ... A dark but important day in New Zealand history, where our government formally recognised and apologised for the systemic verbal, physical, sexual, and cultural abuse committed on more than 200,000 New Zealand tamariki (children) and rangatahi (adolescents) from the 1950s onwards while they were in care of the state or in care of faith-based institutions ... Many of these children were whisked into state care for spurious, discriminatory and racist reasons, and subject to horrific, traumatic abuse at the hands of those who should have cared for them. Children were systemically sexually assaulted by paedophiles employed in these institutions. Many were subject to grossly unjust physical and psychological discipline. Poor children were taken from their families simply for being poor. Māori tamariki were punished for speaking their native language Te Reo Maori. Deaf children were punished for speaking in sign langauge. And if these children ran away and were caught, they were severely punished again. Unescapable pain and trauma. Some of the abuse has been found (despite our government's denials to the UN) to meet the legal definition of torture ... But what compounds the shame was the systematic cover up by successive governments to limit their financial liability.
Abuse, torture and a deep state campaign of denial

Democrats Will Win Again Once the Economy Tanks : politics

Democratic Party Elites Brought Us This Disaster : politics ... Rather than build on the inertia of dumping a deeply unpopular (and cognitively declining) candidate, picking a popular and progressive VP, they tacked right, played it safe, and did little to actually court voters. Their primary strategy was to appeal to the mystical never-Trump Republican while galivanting with Liz Cheney, which is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of going left ... The elites lost this one. They hid Joe Bidens condition from the entire country, then they rigged the primary so that Joe Biden would lock it up early. Then when it became obvious that Joe wouldn't be able to do it, they installed Kamala as the candidate at the end of a public and vicious palace coup. (Not because they thought Kamala could win, it was the only way to keep the campaign donations that had already been made to Joe)

Donald Trump on the cover of Vanity Fair : pics

America Did This to Itself - The Atlantic - And now we all must suffer through it. By George T. Conway III ... We knew, and have known, for years. Every American knew, or should have known. The man elected president last night is a depraved and brazen pathological liar, a shameless con man, a sociopathic criminal, a man who has no moral or social conscience, empathy, or remorse. He has no respect for the Constitution and laws he will swear to uphold, and on top of all that, he exhibits emotional and cognitive deficiencies that seem to be intensifying, and that will only make his turpitude worse.

The Obamas' statement - Lawyers, Guns & Money - "In a country as big and diverse as ours, we won't always see eye-to-eye on everything. But progress requires us to extend good faith and grace—even to people with whom we deeply disagree." ... I think this is a big mistake. First, it (further) normalizes Trump and Trumpism ... The notion that supporters of liberal democracy, from Alexandra Ocasio Cortez to Liz Cheney and everyone in between, are supposed to be "extending good faith and grace" to fascists like Donald Trump makes a total mockery of those claims.

The post-COVID electorate - Lawyers, Guns & Money For the first time since WWII, every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share ... 2024 Democrats are the red dot.

Where Did the Millions of Joe Biden Votes Go? : politics
Eight million missing Democratic voters - Lawyers, Guns & Money - One of the annoying features of American elections is that the West Coast takes forever to count their votes, because the three coastal states all now use mail-in voting AND count votes that are postmarked by Election Day, not merely received. Also California is much slower than Washington and Oregon for reasons I don't understand (fully 40% of the California vote is yet to be counted) ... given that the 2024 election followed Trump's attempt to overthrow the government after the 2020 election, and featured a campaign in which he promised to imprison his political enemies, set up concentration camps for 20 million residents, etc. ... But turnout was way down. Or more precisely it was way down among Democrats, as Trump is going to end up with perhaps 1.5 million more votes than he got in 2020.

Americans said they were worried about democracy. Then they voted for Trump : politics

It was 20 years ago this week - Lawyers, Guns & Money Michelle Goldberg has a good column reflecting on last night's catastrophe, and notes that the reaction is likely to be very different than 2016 -- we probably won't see immediate mass demonstrations and a surge in newspaper subscriptions this time. She concludes by remembering another low point of the 21st century, the only other time since 1988 a Republican candidate for president has secured an electoral majority: ... Ultimately, Trump's one redeeming feature is his incompetence. ... He could even end up discrediting bombastic right-wing nationalism the way George W. Bush -- whose re-election also broke my heart -- discredited neoconservatism.
