When people tell you who they are, unt so weiter...

Just bulld social housing, you dickheads.

Sharpen the guillotines, it's happening again.

Difficult to ask that question without specifying who it worked for - it certainly worked for the banks, clearing up the mess they made of themselves and the country.

“After racist riots & pogroms erupted in Ballymena this week, Somhairle Mag Uidhir explains the links between loyalism (and loyalist paramilitaries in particular) and the far right, and calls for a robust response from the left & all progressive forces.” Excellent piece. #CVE #Ireland #Speirgorm

These are the final seconds we have from Paul. His phone has been taken, and his passport. We urgently need Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris TD to intervene, demand he is freed, his passport & phone returned and the protesters are allowed to peacefully #MarchToGaza Please email tanaiste

Svenskspråkiga YLE är så mycket lättare att läsa än allt jag hittar i Sverige? De skriver egna genomtänkta journalistiska texter och förklarar så man förstår. Är det bara jag som tycker det eller håller ni med?

"We must take back our Tricolur from the lads I said didn't actually exist" - latest by me in the Shameless Turnaround Times. 🙄 www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlig...

Jag tänkte berätta lite inifrån den stora internationella fredsmarschen mot Gaza (MarchtoGaza). Brorsan är en del av den svenska delagationen. Just nu är det lite oordning och det finns säkerhetsskäl att jag än så länge håller på detaljer och platser. >>>

It's out! you know what to do! if you want... documentally.substack.com/p/hidden-com...

Despite it being gorgeous outside, I'm inside #writing my weekly email. I'll share it later. Are you subscribed? It would be nice to know there'll be someone there to read it later? documentally.substack.com Perhaps I can remind you that not everything is falling apart.

What N. Ireland is experiencing right now is a form of state media censorhip to cover up the overwhelming level of paramilitary involvement in the far-right, white supremacist riots that have swept the North. While cameras and narratives focus on the 'youths' - the men in the shadows .. [1/n]

Come see me talk about Tupac tomorrow at Beyond the Pale

It is objectively hilarious to see Netanyahu piss Trump directly in the eye, and not a WORD from him or his lizard-brained MAGA chuds. He might like protecting the image of a "strong man", but there has never been a weaker, dumber American leader.

We're about to find out a whole lot more about whether or not a country "has a right to defend itself", aren't we?

Jag har följt biståndet i 25 år. Jag har aldrig upplevt ett större fiasko än regeringens omläggning av biståndspolitiken. Den nya förordningen och myndighetsinstruktionerna är bara två månader, politiken har redan kollapsat med avgångskrav massdemonstrationer ministerstyre och riksdagsbråk.

The point where the West turns on Israel is surely getting closer and closer.

The British will be well-represented in that case.

Who taught you immigrants were the cause of all the unhappiness in your life?

They never cite legitimate concerns when they’re platformed - they just spout lie after lie. Lies about migrants being bussed here, lies about the benefits and housing asylum seekers get. Straightforward provable lies every time, it’s a dog whistle term, not very delicious - ever

Nu kvarhålls deltagare i March for Gaza på flygplatsen. Tusental är redan på plats och många fler är på väg. Sist i denna reel finns information om hur DU kan hjälpa till. www.instagram.com/p/DKzFkHZMpN...

Anyone using the "legitimate concerns" explanation for the racist pogroms in the North is telling you exactly who they are, and you should believe them.

The talking points of Sweden's Zionist government aboit #Gaza getting a thorough debunking from Staffan. Well worth running through Google Translate - the two ministers in question, Dousa and Stenergard, are two of the most useless and ignorant in history.

Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for #LibreOffice and #Linux www.zdnet.com/article/why-... Europe doesn't trust the US government or its tech powers, so its countries are looking elsewhere.

Scheierman became 1st NBA player from tiny Aurora, NE. But nobody pictured that when he stood ~5-10, 100 pounds as a freshman. A standout football career didn't seem likely, but he was convinced to play, grew & drew D1 looks. It helped his bball aspirations: www.clnsmedia.com/baylor-schei...

This article in the Financial Times is encouraging US citizens to move to Europe. There are so many layers to it but the underlying vibe is “not all of you”. “Fortress Europe, so unwelcoming to people from poor countries, keeps one gate permanently open for Americans”. Quiet part, out loud.

It's true, do please come and visit us and make sure to fly in through our city airport named after a man who beat his wife

Ordinary people are risking their lives to report on what is happening in Gaza and it’s made almost impossible by Israel again cutting WiFi/3G. I have an interview now on my phone that is made up of 8 WhatsApp voice notes that the guest had to walk miles to send out. #UnmuteGaza

In the replies for Brian Wilson’s Twitter account announcing his death are bluechecks saying “another victim of the vaccine” if you’re wondering how it’s going over there

How the fuck do you get this stupid?

I wonder how many Irish people would have voted for this government if they knew they were Zionists?

Enda sättet att uppfylla det löftet är om L missar spärren i nästa Riksdagen - det går ju inte att tror på ett ord någon av de här hycklarna säger.

Today in "Is Los Angeles Burning?": No.

"Is every memecoin a scam? According to David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain: “Basically, literally, yes.” “All of this is like a big game of pretend with made-up financial instruments,” he said. “It’s printing your own made-up money." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

If you’re rioting or even just protesting because a foreigner has been accused of rape, but you never rioted or protested when a white Irish bloke was accused of rape, you are not a defender of women and are - quite literally - just a racist

We feed you. They hunt us.
