Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

This is an excellent, fact-filled article with video segments to answer questions about Trump & Putin’s “illegitimate president” propaganda war against Zelensky.

Is it lost on people that Khrushchev’s words are coming true?

This, alongside suggestions for a query facility for MLAs & MPs around passports and consular issues in NI, a joint sitting of the Dail na nOg & the Northern Ireland Youth Assembly as well as all-Ireland Consultative Civic Forums, are quite good ideas. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/republi...

Oh, fuck this.

OPINION: As a scholar of Muslim philanthropy, I have long been impressed by the philanthropic and civic engagement of the Ismailis.

“Our job is to ensure we build the alternative to perpetual Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael led governments. “They will hit the ground running as we continue to work for a fair, equal & united Ireland in which workers, families & communities come first.” friendsofsinnfein.com/mary-lou-mcd...

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”

For 16 years, U.S. aviation had a perfect record—ZERO major commercial plane crashes. Then Trump returned and in just 29 days the USA has had seven crashes, 15 aviation disasters, and 85 dead, on pace for this over 1,000 dead this year via plane crash.

This is why Trump/MuskRat are bitching about 60 Minutes. Pumpkin Pol Pot & Phoney Stark are two of the most Fragile, Thin-Skinned, Petty, Snowflakes on Earth.

Mark Hennessy: ‘No one’s talking about it’: How Irish unity has slid down the political agenda We are being collectively failed by a lack of political courage and leadership to advance unity from a governmental level. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

It's both inspiring and frustrating to watch regular Americans suggest better ideas than any of the "strategists" I worked with in Congress.

A Canadian correctly calling us out on our bullshit. Let's prove them wrong.

Hopefully once the US is decimated by the Trump administration, Ireland will take a hard look & stop thinking America is a good role-model. It is not.

OPINION: The Trump administration is already the most harmful to religious freedom in modern American history.

1. On Friday, protests erupted at Stonewall National Monument, the historic site of the Stonewall uprisings that ignited the modern gay rights movement, in response to the National Park Service removing transgender people from the Stonewall Website. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The US government's approval of Lithium Americas' mining project at Thacker Pass, Nevada, ignores Indigenous sovereignty by failing to obtain Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. We stand with Native communities in demanding justice and accountability!

I dont know why, but the fact that Depeche Mode is so popular in Mexico really makes me happy. 💪❤️✌️ youtu.be/V1D-75LSxDw?...

OPINION: The Aga Khan IV was often referred to as a philanthropist, but the description ignores the spiritual impetus for his work.

Reek.

The Aga Khan is considered by his followers to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and is treated as a head of state.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

In a 2006 speech while accepting an award in Germany, the Aga Khan emphasized that he aimed “to improve the quality of worldly life for the concerned communities.”

trump was just asked what money he was going to use to buy Gaza. "We're not gonna buy it. We're gonna have it, we're gonna keep it." No follow up question, of course. Is THAT how real estate works in the Middle East?

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

There are less than three weeks to go before the Procurement Act comes into force, if you agree all public contracts should guarantee #realivingwage please retweet, our employees deserve decency and respect

BREAKING: Donald trump is actually doing something GREAT, promising to crack down on overdraft fees and to BLOCK medical debt from being listed on credit reports! WOW!!! LOL, just kidding. Actually, President Biden did all that stuff to help Americans, and trump wants to reverse it. Fucking idiot.

Russian asset Trump is turning America’s friends into enemies, while Putin laughs in Russian.

Trump announced that he had “ordered the immediate dismissal” of the advisory boards of the service academies for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.

Nigel Farage and Reform aren’t on the side of working people – they’re on the side of bad bosses, zero hours contracts and fire and rehire. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
