Yesterday NZ police "accidentally" handcuffed, sedated, and kidnapped an 11 year old girl when they were supposed to be locating a missing 20 year old ill woman.
Today the NZ Prime Minister called a Green MP "insane" for suggesting that the police needed better oversight.
If you don't like the direction America has been following lately, the first signs of it are appearing here too.

I just wrote to the PM to tell him:
- how disappointed I am about his handling of the Treaty Principles Bill & the Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti.
- that he cannot hide behind MMP when he negotiated the deal & accepted the bill (& the fallout) as a price to become PM.
- that he needs to do better for Māori
- that he will forever be remembered as the PM who didn't have the courage to face a crowd of 40,000 Kiwis who united to tell the govt they're wrong!

Maybe you can write him, too?

One last photo to share. I am home now after the train home was completely packed. My biggest observation today was how many young people, children, teenagers were there. So many. (You can see a number of school children in the foreground of the photo.) And my guess is that none of them will forget today. Today was the best lesson ever! They will all feel empowered, stronger and more united than ever.
