Could they be that stupid? I don't want to know. Surely AOC and Buttigieg would spontaneously combust first.

I don't think so. People think of Ireland as a place with friendly people. You've just destroyed the brand by showing that you don't value people: not your own people, not other people as social beings.

Why. Would. They. Bother. Haven't they noticed that people think of Ireland as a place of friendly people? As in human people? Who do they think is feeling like visiting now?

"robbing them of their wealth, destroying their institutions and environments, and then denying them participation in the safety built at their expense. We should be atoning for our sins, not exacerbating them." 2/2

As someone in Europe, but of course. And in the US, a country whose economy was built from the start on exploiting the many for the extreme wealth of a few, "illegal" is a construct that makes it easier for corporations and unscrupulous people to exploit others. The US needs their labour.

I am ready to talk to any #UK outlet for #transgender news about what’s happening and to talk about the ways #LGBTQIA fought against hate in the era leading to the Second World War. Nazis aren’t a forgone conclusion. We can fight #TERF hatred. I’m a historian, a journalist, & I’m here for the fight.
