Anybody knows a little about #immigration process to #Aotearoa #NZ ? I'been trying for quite a while to get a #sponsorship as a Software Engineer/Developer in sending applications to listings found on Seek, never been successful. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Do you know if paying Licenced Immigration Advisers is worth it ?
Even before the evil clowns government to take on, I was struggling for about a year, so I can't even blame them.

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.
ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

#Trump demanded on Wednesday that a #FederalReserve governor, #LisaCook, “resign, now!!!,” citing unconfirmed allegations that she *may* have engaged in mortgage fraud. It is the latest sign that the admin is ramping up its campaign to remake the #independent #CentralBank. Trump has pressured the bank to lower #InterestRates, which it has kept steady out of concern that his policies could cause #inflation.

When she arrived, she was not sent out to work in the fields like the others. She was forced to live at his house and sign a marriage license.

#Chicago is choosing #justice over fear, as it has in the past
In 1850, the #FederalGovernment deputized local officials to enforce #slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in #deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, & it still is today.

“This is beyond my dreams,” children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman told ProPublica in a call minutes after he was freed from an Ohio jail where he’d been detained since the spring. “I’m still overwhelmed by the surprise.”

#ICE Is Cracking Down on #Chicago.
Chicagoans Are Fighting Back.
Residents have begun forming volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal #immigration agents. Others honk their horns or blow whistles when they see agents nearby.

Mario Guevara, the only known journalist detained by ICE on U. S. soil, has been held since June 14. For The Bitter Southerner, he writes about his experiences of solitary confinement, protection rackets, and ICE's attempts to prevent his release. "Since July 10, 2025, all pending criminal charges against Guevara have been dismissed, yet he remains in detention. Guevara has committed no crime, had no criminal history prior to his June 14, 2025 arrest, and has no pending criminal charges against him now," write The Bitter Southerner team.
Stupidest thing ever. The Chicago River is not the freaking Rio Grande.

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral.
Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.”

The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.
ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees for a long time.
One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.
He’s filed a habeas corpus claim in federal court and there’s a petition circulating for his release.
He’s been held for more than eight months, put in solitary confinement and denied access to his new prosthetic legs.
Let’s tell his story. Let’s raise awareness for the horrendous conditions detainees are being forced to endure.
Let’s make ICE pay for what they’ve done.
